Looking for a tipper load of hardwood logs Hawthorn / Ash / Birch / Apple / Cherry Residential address so please call prior to arrange

i'd love to hear from the genuine tree surgeons hence asking on here who will know the science behind the concerns i have. i have a recommended surgeon coming to view it in a couple of weeks which will give me further clarity however in my opinion the more advice the better!

thanks - i've got a 'tree surgeon' coming to look at it but my concerns with these surgeons is whether these are actually skilled arboribulturalists are just men with chainsaws. i must admit my tree knowledge is non-existent so the references above to the ivy clad sycamore - is this one of the other trees you can see lurking in this horrific mess that we have inherited?

don't suppose anyone has any thoughts on this?

Yes the tallest one! Is that leylandi? thanks for taking the time to reply

Afternoon all, first time here so please be kind, also apologies if this is in the wrong forum. I'm after some advice re tree removal and genuinely do not know where to start. Effectively between ours and my neighbours house is a large tree (as shown in the images below). Over the years the tree has grown huge and you can see it's now starting to damage the retaining wall that it sits within. In addition after the recent storms we are extremely concerned the tree will give way and cause structural damage to property. So we would like it removed. We are very concerned about potential heave if we remove the tree due to our house previously suffering subsidence after the removal of several large conifer trees (in the 1990s). As a result of the subsidence the part of the house closest to this tree has been underpinned, but i still believe we need some reassurance. However where i am confused is that we would like (need) the tree removed anyway, so regardless of whether an expert says heave is likely or unlikely due to the potential danger of the tree it does still need to be taken down. So what would you suggest we do? Remove it in stages? We genuinely don't know where to start so any advice would be hugely appreciated. Thanks James P.S my house is on the left of the last image below, around 5m away from the tree in question https://ibb.co/r4QLB7p https://ibb.co/nC0Bfw4 https://ibb.co/hc4qG7V
