    got to remove a leylandii hedge soon its not got a TPO on it and its about 100m out side of a conservation area (so not in a conservation area.) its in a private garden and the owner owns the land ether side of the hedge (house-drive/parking-lawn-hedge-lawn-road) stumps are max 7" at the base trees are 20-25' tall and over 20' wide. pretty sure I don't need permission from anyone other than the owner but want to check as the village people like to complain a lot there many thanks

    are augers that much quicker than post hole diggers? we do a lot of feather edge with post hole diggers and they are pretty quick( cant remember the last time we had "easy" digging). how do you get on with obstacles with an auger? in the last couple of weeks we have had 2x 9" clay pipes about 14" down and a 2" electric cable 8" down with nothing in or around it all of witch we managed to avoid but im sure we would have had a problem with an auger
