    had to this job in pipeline for ages, first job ive had loss on simply because i didnt quote a platform, but jobs been delayed into these short days so needed a platform to do it in a day since job was 1.30/2 hours drive away. job was to reduce the branches off the roofs of the 4 buildings, (the 2 in the first pic and was 2 houses behind) main work took place other side of tree to the pics to reduce the weight off the 2 different gardens. other than that it was reduce as much as possible with the platform while we were there, maxed out about 15ft short of the tops so didnt touch them. and didnt touch the top left hand corner, dont like leaving a half finished product but all they want is the neighbours happy and everything else was a bonus so done as much as i could the fungi around the base of the tree was imense i took a pic of the best clump either way isnt looking to healthy lots of die back in the crown.
