Not sure if I am doing this reply correctly. Yes I am the landlord and
posted the message. I would very much like to end the problem but I
understand that by removing them completely, there could be structural
damage beneath the house, either drying out of roots or water remaining
under the house with them all being so near to it. They are massive
trees! I've left it too long but no good moaning about it, onwards and
downwards hopefully!


I will get in touch with a tree surgeon. My agents have already got
quotes for reducing them but they are pretty useless at getting any
other reliable information for me. About 700 sterling pounds to halve
them including removal of waste. Is it cheaper to just ged rid of them
? I am overseas and sometimes things aren't that simple. I searched the
internet yesterday to try and find a website that offered information
relating to the removal and any subsequent problems but to no avail.


Thanks for your replies, appreciated.

Why not have them cut down to 6 or 7ft stumps and then use these for
growing something like climbing roses, clematis etc over.
