Sadly I didn't keep previous images or take any of the four sycamore adjacent the King's house. This felling is a continuation ofwork by Trekensa Gardens House

July 23rd Early morning I spoke to Dave King with consideration as to which of two overhanging vegetation he would prefer removed, some ten metre mass of overhang or a bunch of 4 very tall sycamore. Dave said he didn't mind but he thought his mum, Sylvia would prefer to see the tall sycamore removed as they blocked light to her bedroom. So that was it.

As Gavin was here and showed interest in felling trees we set about the job. Dave King invited me to use a 4m extension ladder, which I subsequently damaged. Whist I climbed trees and removed the lower branches as I went Gavin pulled them to the side. It was during this lopping that I allowed two logs to fall on the ladder, denting two rungs. I have worked out most of the denting ladder but will get somthig for Dave to take the bad taste away.

29th July Felled another truck but seenext post.

The major concerns are the large trees in the hedge to the north of the house and the oak to the west. Although I have done work around the house before, this year 2020 I have removed a substantial amount of trees.
