Years ago, we lived in an end of terrace house on a very narrow country lane. |

Some neighbours up the road from us decided to plant leylandi as a hedge along their front garden boundary . |

When our neighbour took down his row of cypresses it wasn't the birds we worried about so much but the red squirrels who liked to use them as a road to our bird feeders. Luckily, it hasn't stopped them but they do find the high trellis that we have a bit difficult to negotiate. |

A garage I fear,RR., although they have the stump to remove first. Thanks to all for your interest. |

Birds don't nest in them but I think due to the resin it is a great tree for insects which the birds then eat, also for roosting as it has such good cover. I have a small similar one in the back garden and I've noticed the bluebirds and a jenny wren particularly like it. |

well I had a hedge of those trees for years and never once was there a bird's nest in it - don't think you should be worryng, they don't seem to build their nests in those trees |

DeT - Sycamores with TPO's on? They're no more than weeds!!That's like declaring a dandelion special. |

Our story is the same as Hayley's, except it is a manky old Blackthorn which drops sloes all over our lawn so I am forever having to dig small saplings and seedlings out if the grass and flower beds. Horrible man, (yob) he only lets it grow because we had an argument about fifteen years ago over the fence. ( our fence which he destroyed by using it as a football goal, he then had the nerve to complain about us replacing it !) |

Enjoy the sunlight while you can. You might even find that your lawn or plants grow better! If it was covered by a TPO, the neighbour will have to replace it with something else. |

We have a ginormous fig tree between us & neighbours. It's right on the fence line, so there's a gap in the fence. Neighbour said it was his tree. |
