Common problems
Tree Leaning With Lifted Roots
The tree has taken on a lean and the ground on the opposite side has cracked, domed or lifted at the base.
Branches Touching Power Lines
Branches have grown into the overhead cables crossing the garden, or a limb is resting on the line after wind.
Neighbour's Branches Overhanging My Garden
Branches from next door's tree hang well over the boundary, blocking light, dropping debris or scraping the roof.
