Proposal

T1 - Oak Tree in rear garden Proposed Works; Removal of 2x lower boughs to raise crown and deadwood. First bough which is over the garden and growing towards the house has had significant damage historically. Although the tree seems to be coping with this, there is a cause for concern in the future as this continues to grow toward the property. Second bough is overhanging the rear and removal of this would balance the lower crown if the first bough is removed. The property owner has also mentioned that they get no light due to the tree and in my opinion raising the crown would gain them the light that they want and would still leave a natural healthy tree.
