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

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 quotes for reducing them all, and removal of waste it was 700 quid, they said it would be 7 tonnes! anyone know a reputable tree surgeon for the Botley, Oxford area?
