That's why you need the professionals.
In general all the Leylandii I have taken down have had a root ball no
wider than the crown, but I live on heavy clay. The nature of root
growth is a complicated thing, depending on underground conditions.-

6 large old Leylandii, were about 11' high and all at least 8' wide
and too near neighbour's drive.
1 overgrown Mahonia
2 large beech trees, far too near to pavement and neighbour's drive.
Sundry wild seeded trees in amongst the above.
Got a little man in who felled the lot in 3 hours, chipped up
everything in a flatbed for recycling.
A bargain at £250 (and the neighbour chipped in a £100 to help!)

thanks everyone for the replies, I feel a bit better about all this
now, however these trees are a lot taller than 11 feet. When I had

for the Botley, Oxford area?
