Good news. Had you asked you neighbour about them, or did he do it off his own back?

When i moved in here, the East, North and West side had Laylandia, quiet tall 40' i surpose, North and West side were mine, there now 12' stumps with ivy growing around them, they make a nice wall. the East side belong to a Pub, but turns out there just a conifer and in 12 years they just getting to be a pain so i have mentioned it to the Landlord and just gonna wait for a bit, but one way or another they will get a trim.....

Not a problem I'll get some beavers, beavers like trees, only beavers like trees to be horizontal like me.

Hopefully they don't have big searchlights in the back yard that were previously obscure

They're building a 10ft high observatory because they got the idea from you lol

My neighbour's leylandii blocks everything from west to north to zenith. I wouldn't say it was big but my phone line goes through it about a third of the way up...

Oh, and when BT replaced my line a while back, they threaded it back through the tree! Seems if I want it re-routing round the tree I'd have to pay for a new line installation!

Ten years ago I could image Antares now I can only just get M16 ,neigbours trees growing rapidly, can only hope they blow down perhaps onto their gagage with the security light on it

Leyllandii can have thier uses- in my dad's garden where I often observe, the hedge acts as a superior screen for all the surrounding house/security/street lights. Maintained at about 8 feet high and three feet thick it creates a pool of darkness of darkness to work in. It limits low level objects - but that's no big loss in light polluted areas.

Scope & hedge screen.
