Description

T1 - Holly reduce down to the height of the lean to as the tree is dead. T2 - Holly reduce the overall height of the crown by 10ft, and prune any lateral growth overhanging boundary. The Tree and the Ivy growing up it are proving problematic to the neighbouring property. By reducing the height and the spread over the neighbours side it can be distinguished where the source of the problem is coming from. The neighbouring property also wishes to re new the fence. And the lateral branches are in the way.
