will it be all right at this time of year to get someone in to do a bit

of
light sawing and clipping?


In my experience you can't get rid of laurel - even by digging down two feet
to clear the roots.

Pear is difficult too unless you grub out the roots.

But if you only want to keep it tidy - and do the work every yer - then you
should be OK. but remember it's EVERY year ...

Yes.
