Proposal

T1 Macrocarpa - to reduce tree's canopy to suitable growth points removing 1-2 metres (10%) to create an even canopy. The tree is currently estimated to be approximately 19 metres tall. The proposed works involve a modest crown reduction, removing approximately 1-2 metres from the outer branch extremities where appropriate, pruning back to suitable growth points whilst retaining a balanced and natural crown shape. The proposed finished dimensions following pruning are: Overall height: approximately 17.5 metres, Maximum crown spread: approximately 15 metres. To crown raise tree and lift the lower branches to provide a minimum clearance of 3 metres above ground level, specifically over the driveway and parking area, pruning lower hanging branches that touch roofs of cars preventing the property owners from using their driveway or parking underneath tree when there has been rain.
