Arb Method Statement...

[tomtrees]

They dont much look like they needed a tpo pine trees grow all over and are two a penny

 

And now to close to a building the insurance company is going to want them down and they could be considered dangerous.

 

The cost of bringing them down now is double.

 

Should have felled at the beginning and a clause for replanting AT the end of the works with more better tree species may be sim mature.

Hmmm, not good!

 

How about clearing the debris and then some decompaction with the air-spade. With regard to the construction of a patio, ideally, I'd be hoping for some form of cell-web construction above the tree roots OR at least a good layer of sharp sand and butt jointed slabs (tey're gonna move anyway)...what about a porous surface perhaps, pebbles or summat similar?

 

Good luck..!

PS Thinking ahead, the trouble with a patio 'under' the trees is it will soon result in pigeons doing what pigeons do best and then numerous complaints and pressure on the LPA TO to allow removal. Hence some barrier planting (Berberis etc.) underneath and patio elsewhere maybe?
