Magnolia T5. DESCRIPTION OF WORKS: (a) removal of rear stem down to 1.5m above ground level. (b) reduction of crown by approximately 30% (from 9m down to 6.5m). REASONS FOR WORK: (1) The removal of the rear stem closest to the house will make space for easier and safer access to windows, roof, gutters, fascia, and soffits. (2) By removing branches overhanging the roof, we will allow more light to reach the roof, which will deter the regrowth of moss once it has been removed and treated. (3) By reducing the crown by 30% we will reduce the degree to which the view of the house is dominated by the tree and manage the spread of its influence on the house above and below ground.

T1, Dead Cupressus macrocarpa - fell. Reason dead T2, Cupressus macrocarpa adjacent to T1 - fell. Reason the tree has grown in close proximity to T1 and removing T1 will leave it with an asymmetric form with the live growth weighted on the house side. T3, Magnolia - prune away from window and re-shape to leave a natural form. Reason to allow light into the house.
