It cost me £150 to completely remove a leylandii hedge, about 40 feet long.
It would have cost the same to cut them shorter. I was more concerned about
the width the hedge took up, so we chopped them down completely. Pros and
cons, because now neighbours overlook us from 5 surrounding houses.

Just moved into a new house and there are 20 foot leylandii at the
bottom of the garden. Is there any way of cutting them back to a more
reasonable size ? We do need the cover as we will be looked directly
onto if we chop them down. Also any idea what we should pay to a tree
surgeon if we should get them cut back?
