I absolutely don’t care how many there are, and you can be Irish or any other nationality, but I’m looking for someone competent and insured to take down a couple of 30ft yew trees.

    I don’t think young ones in my garden, which isn’t in a conservation area, will be protected.

    Will you be planting a couple of new trees to replace these mature trees @AddicksAddict, in order to replace the oxygen loss, absorb carbon, maintain soil quality and give shade in the increasing heat?

    I think that you are supposed to notify felling of any trees to your council, even on your own property, might be best to make sure...🤷‍♂️

    I have Irish roots. 

    Does it is need to be tree fellers or are two of us good enough?

    I've spent a lot of tine this summer in various trees with chain and recip saws. It's certainly encouraged my wife to take a keen interest in my life insurance status.

    There’s too much shade where these are. The are five yews within a 15’ radius and they’re affecting the existing small trees they’re now outgrowing.

    If they are 30ft high, they most certainly aren’t young trees.
    They have a very slow growth rate…..in The UK many are a good 100 to 500 years old!
    Some rarer examples even live to 1000 years +.

    There's a bloke up in Carlisle that likes travelling miles to chop down trees. But I think he's otherwise engaged at the moment.

    Edited to add: It's illegal to chop down if over 5 cubic metres in volume (whether one tree or a number of smaller trees) - so you'd need consent I guess and/or a competent qualified tree surgeon.
