Proposal to perform crown lifting and thinning on 8 healthy sycamore trees, and possibly remove 1 declining sycamore tree due to its severe lean towards the house.

Full Proposal

G1 x9 Sycamore - 8 of these appear to be healthy however. A crown lift to suitable growth points lifting the branches away from the house and away from the car parking would be ideal, 6 metres from ground level and possibly a thin out of the canopy over the rear garden to allow some more light in, 10-15% of the overall crown to be thinned on each tree. There is 1 tree in particular that seems to be in decline. It has a dry patch at the bottom of the tree and a pocket in a crevice of water that is at about chest height, and is about 4 inches deep. my concern about this one tree is that it has such a severe lean towards their house. Possible removal.
