Hey All

Having read the thread re asking for help and advice from people on here for items not relating to photography, I thought I'd give it a bash.

I am after the advice of a tree surgeon. We have a rather large conifer right on the front corner of our house, that over the last three years has grown quite significantly. It now obscures quite a lot of light from entering our front room, and bedroom. I am reluctant to do anythign to the tree myself in case I kill it off, and then I'd be in danger of subsidence from rotting roots, or lack of absorption of water.

Any advice - can take pics if anyone here can offer advice.

Thought I'd give it a go, cos I'll have to call someone otherwise.

What were you thinking, lopping the top off a bit?

We had one done in the summer, they took about ten-fifteen feet off of the top. It does look a bit odd now though! I think it was about £250 including the removal of the rubbish.

We had three in our garden, as tall as the house. I took one down with a saw over about three weekends. Never again......
