Some of our trees are a little on the leaning, perhaps not quite stable end of the scale. Loathe to remove any as in my experience the wind then gets in and disrupts things further.
Looking at tree options:
1. Remove some, don't want to as they host red squirrels and are beautiful, as well as the reason mentioned already.
2. Remove outbuildings that are within reach of the taller ones, and consider the area unusable.
3. Erect a barrier.
We are favouring option number tree, as it also protects the parking area/oil tank/patio/car port 'under' them.
One of our friends is a civil engineer who specialises in bridges, and will be coming to assess the options for some kind of protective erection.
The idea would be to also 'fill in' to create a bank of soil at the base of the near trees to provide a long term solution, but that will take a lot of time as we would have to relocate/remove a lot of flora.
Has anyone else gone to extreme lengths to save some trees?
