Oct 2023
Tree WorksTrees
In report
The tree is a magnolia situated within a garden plot that it has now outgrown. It requires regular, extremely expensive pruning to keep it under control. Over the years, pruning has caused the tree's foliage to become increasingly dense, to the point that the canopy has now become impenetrable and is severely restricting the light entering the front of the property. Any pruning required to reduce the tree would need to be drastic and would, frankly, destroy the shape and integrity of the tree. To a certain extent, this has already happened. Further pruning will only exacerbate the situation. We would like Lancaster Gardening, a reputable arborist company, to carry out a complete removal of the tree to enable us to plant species more appropriate for the size of the garden plot, and increase the light into the property. Lancaster Gardening support our application to remove the tree
