Giant leylandii in suburban front garden incense neighbours

Anyone can see he's not left any space for bulbs and perennials in the garden design!

    It's very 70's fashion...... a big bush sorely in need of a trim
    Some days you're the dog..... most days you're the tree! :D
  • Nothing wrong with the leyland, its the owner who's the problem. Its easy to keep one neat and tidy, the leyland that is.
    I'd rather be an Optimist and be proved wrong than a Pessimist and be proved right.

    This was on R2 yesterday being discussed, first time I've seen it though. Bit big innit?
    Freedom is not worth having if it does not include the freedom to make mistakes.
  • Makes you wonder what's hiding behind it!
  • This guy had a massive wall around his garden before, it was 10ft tall or something, and it was removed by court order. I guess this is his alternative. Obviously not the most sociable chap!

    He is clearly trying to wind up the neighbours, but unfortunantly he'll lose this battle, I'm pretty sure

    What he needs to do now (and quickly) is paint the house a nice bright pink, or something equally shocking. If he does it quick, no one will notice, and then when the trees are gone, everyone will miss them!
  • Has Tarzan finally moved away from the jungle and wanted to break himself in gently?

    That is ridiculous!!! Poor neighbours.

    If you're the guy who's come to check the drainage underneath the bush, you'd prefer a flat bit of concrete, to a messy overgrown bush. :D

    Well I do. :p
