Proposal

We would like to carry out work on two trees on our property as follows: 1. Black Poplar - This tree is situated at the South West front of the property and is extremely large. These trees are prone to weakening as they grow too large and potentially falling. We would like to half the height of the tree and thin the tree out to avoid this happening and to aid the health of the tree. A tree surgeon has visited the property and advised this work is urgent due to the size of the tree. Note, it is also getting very close to power lines. 2. Poplar - This tree is situated at the West of the property in the rear garden. The tree is growing out of a ditch and is growing at a fairly extreme angle. This is not an issue in itself but the tree has unfortunately suffered from severe rotting at its base and according to the tree surgeon is now at high risk of falling in the wind. He has advised the tree is removed. With children on the property, this needs to be addressed quickly.
