We've bought a house with a pair of trees in the back garden (Leylandii?) which are very tall. They are also on the southern side of the garden and we're considering having them removed, or significantly reduced to fence height to allow in more light.
Shown here taken from our garden, but with our neighbour's in the back of the shot. The closest trunk is about 7m from the corner of our house. It's closer than that to the neighbour's conservatory, but actually their plot (starting the other side of the fence) is a good metre lower than ours.
I'd be keen for any thoughts on whether it would be safe to remove these trees, or if we're better off just reducing them right down?
Thanks
