12 Little Orchard Way, Shalford, Guildford, GU4 8JY
Oak T1 - To crown thin by 15-20%, removing epicormic growth, dead wood and thinning heavier heads. To raise the canopy over the lawn by 3m. To also reduce a number of longer tips (4-6) by up to 2m (drop crotching) over the pergola and over the lawn growing towards the house. Reasons - the canopy covers and casts a shadow over a large area of the garden/patio. The 4-6 tips to be reduced would also help to improve the shape and prevent the tree getting any larger. The thinning would help increase the light to the garden and improve the quality of the lawn (Tree Preservation Order 1 of 2012).
