Chestnut Cottage The Grove Exeter EX4 9HT

T1 Oak. reduce crown by 3m all round which is roughly 20%. The crown has a bias to the south extending to within a meter of the house causing excessive shading and, as can be seen from the photo, causing the degradation of the lawn. To the north the crown extends over the boundary to the neighbouring house causing excessive shading there too. Reducing only those offending branches will leave the tree looking, unsightly and unbalanced which is why I think a full crown reduction will leave the tree in a better shape and will preserve its integrity . T2 Row of Ash and Sycamore along the eastern boundary. remove lowest branches to open up the view. According to my client these trees have grown into a large green oppressive wall . Removing the lowest branches to the line shown in the photo would alleviate the feeling of being closed in while at the same time leaving the collective crown undisturbed. T3 Leyllandi , fell. this conifer was trimmed as a ball shaped shrub in the past but has now grown into a dark mess. Removing it will give the much prettier Golden Monterey a better chance to thrive. T4 Oak . fell. this stunted tree is the smallest in a cluster of three trees growing a few feet to the east of T1. it is suppressed by the two more vigorous Oaks beside it.
