Proposal

T1 Lawson Cypress -Chmaecyparis lawsoniane T1 is completely dead and I would like to remove to ground level. re planting with a native broadleaf within 5 metres. T2 European Lime - Tilia x europaea T2 is severely leaning towards the neighbours garden(North west). The north west aspect of the tree is also heavily weighted. there is movement in root plate leaving a third of the root plate exposed leaving the tree very vulnerable to winds and saturated soil making it dangerous. Removing the 2 primary North west facing limbs will re balance T2 and improve the aesthetics of the tree. The proposed 2 limbs are marked in Pic 2 with a red line. the root plate movement can be seen in pic 3. Work proposed- Remove 2 primary limbs to re balance the tree.
