Tree WorksTrees
In report
(T1) Yew - Prune the overhanging branches by 2meters, to bring into the garden and not overhanging on the public foot path and Northill road. The tree will also need to be crowned by 2meters. As you will see by the pictures its overhanging and I worry something will hit and damage the overhanging branches, as mentioned the double decker bus already hit the branches as it goes past.
