If you really want legal advice, ask lawyers. Before that though, consider the relationship you have and want with your neighbour. It'll only go one way once solicitors are involved. Suggest you find some way to call it a win in your head. Maybe "let" them cut it on the basis that they do it once a year at an agreed height and shape. They're then paying for your property to look neat.

Nice enough trees. I'd keep them for as long as they don't show bad dieback. If/when they do, twiglet them to ladder height and hope they survive as pollards. Whatever you do, don't read the advice to remove, the advice to leave alone and take a straight-down-the-middle average of reducing them for the sake of something to do. You'll get the worst of all worlds. Edit to add: Sorry. Didn’t read original post properly. Remove what you want. Advice on pruning remainders remains same. You just invite disease, unsightly regrowth etc.

Why a pleasure?

Yes yes. Nobody wants accidents. Duh.
-
I can. I’d have been annoyed, mostly about the barrier.
-
Not necessarily. Volenti non fit injuria.

His lookout principally. Play stupid games, win stupid prizes etc.

I hate that too. Every instance of public shittiness towards workmen that I’ve witnessed could have been avoided if the workmen had just been nice in the first place. Many choose to be confrontational though. “MY site” etc.

Natty little sports car, Alaskan mill on the picnic hamper rack. Fabulous.

That kind of sense of entitlement irks me chronically. Very ugly displays of power, taking pleasure in excluding people from “their” site. Almost always causes me to make a point of disobeying them. At least you were grateful when you had the highways people hold back the traffic.

I’ve never had to do more than move plastic barriers or men at work signs. The only thing that defeated me was heras fencing and a six foot deep hole. And, as often, you hide your light under a bushel. I’ve witnessed you being equally unkind to your own suspension.

In fifteen years of driving (England) I’ve only ever found one road closed sign that told the truth.

I suspect the OP meant the girthiest trees are 7 feet in circumference at 5 feet above ground level (about two feet DBH). Suggest OP consults forestry contractors or some sort of land agent before arb contractors. You could probably do with advice on the value of the wood. My first suggestion was have a forester in to show the scouts how to do it but you’ve probably got some gay rule about that.
-
Yep. He’s exactly the sort of thing I’m after. Much obliged.
-
Yeah. I don’t follow any women. It’s all “DM for promote” and nice arses. There are other parts of the internet for that. I tried Boel for a while but it was all unnecessarily fiddly srt stuff. John Lloyd is a good but infrequent poster.

I’ve unfollowed a few recently, most noteworthily August Hunicke and Reon Rounds. Too much easy crane work and not enough tricky rigging recently. Don’t get me wrong; they’re still good tree men but just not teaching as much as before at the moment. zigzagman.zr is slightly fresher. #realriggas is longterm useful.

Reg Coates video on YouTube of a PCW mounted on a large-for-UK chipper. -
This I approve of.

I think aspen Bob has one.

@doobin@donnk@dumper I’m reasonable at remembering people on this forum, what they do, what they know about, whether I trust them or like them etc. But for some reason I just can’t file you three in my head. I keep thinking you’re one person. Would you be so kind as to each briefly say where you live, what you do etc and describe yourselves. Like I know one of you runs old vehicles, one buys new diggers, one doesn’t just do trees. No idea which one which though. Odd request I know.
-
What would you charge to drive ten miles to look at it and give advice about what to do with it?
-
I only do takedowns.
-
Promise I hadn’t seen your post when I said that.

Snap!
