I have two trees at my house that I need some advice on.

1st problem

Since this godforsaken wind we've had on the North Wales coast this tree has started to lean. Can this be pulled back or is it a chop down job (I really don't want to cut it down)

2nd problem

I need to bring the height of this tree down to a level where I can see out of the bedroom window.
Again, is this possible or is it better to cut it, again not my preferred option
Thanks

wherever you cut them back you'll be left with bare branches that won;t 're-leaf' very successfully. So cut the top off but don;t try and trim it for width too much would be my non-professional advice.

straightening the other one will need a big post and a winch and then something to support it when it's at the angle you like. Do it before the ground dries out again.
