Fair points @Marley Farley I can’t see your signature as I’m on mobile, don’t suppose he’s in the York area?
I might go the handsaw + rope method...will definitely need to watch some YouTube videos first so I know what I’m doing. That’s a brilliant idea...
I think ours will be very problematic because they would only have access through a small garden gate :/
My apologies also if I got a bit heated, and misunderstood you. If I were to rip out the Leylandii entirely, would this cause an issue with...
After speaking with my other half, I’m now waffling on topping the trees down to a height I can still prune on a ladder, or removing all together....
[ATTACH] I am in North Yorkshire. I’m not sure the type of soil, possibly loamy? The pH is around 6.5, and seems quite decent soil. The garden...

I see...so I’m stuffed?
I’m thinking to plant some ornamental shrubs at the front to cover the bare bases, which I agree, are not overly attractive.Is it really...
[ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH] We’ve inherited a very large hedge growing along the back of our property, I’m assuming it’s Leylandii? It’s quite huge...
Thank you for your answers and kind welcome :) After reading about Wild Tansy, I crushed the leaves but there’s no strong fragrance. I had a look...
