- Nov 2023Tree WorksTreesIn report
The tree is an ash leaved maple in the front garden of 16 Albion Drive The work will reduce crown by 25-30 percent or 3-4 metres and then the remainder of the tree will be shaped (it is currently rather uncared for). The goal is to provide clearance to front of property and to stop leaves from clogging the gutters on the roof (access is difficult and the water pours down the front of the house in rainstorms when clogged).
