Proposal

Project: Removal of sycamore closest to the house. Reason: In recent winds it has started to lose large branches, and if the whole tree falls it will crush the property. Removing the sycamore will also help the beautiful beech tree behind. Works: careful removal of the full tree and grinding of stump, carried out by a qualified professional given its size and proximity to other houses and trees.
