Default Brown Leylandii

I have an inherited Leylandii planted near my house, about 30 feet tall.
Last year following the dry weather and my modification of water run-off
from the road, it went brown. Ever since it has been littering the path
below
with dead needles, but still retains lots of brown foliage. A couple of
small
patches of needles near the start of the leaves are green, so I assume the
tree is alive, but will it grow new needles this year? I know Leylandii
cannot
regenerate new growth from old branches if they are cut back, and am
wondering if I will be left will a bald tree!
I ask because I am toying with the idea of felling it and planting
something nicer, and if it's had it that will ease my decision.

cheers

Andy


Do yourself an immense favour and get rid of the Leylandii and plant
something nicer
