Description

T1 Ash - Reduce the height and spread of the tree by up to 1.5 metres. Crown lift to provide a clearance of 3 metres above ground level by removing secondary growth, and remove all deadwood throughout the crown. The tree has now become overbearing in relation to the property. The delicate crown reduction will allow the tree to be managed at a size more appropriate for its location, while the crown lift will provide adequate clearance for vehicles using the driveway.
