To be honest I will not miss them at all. They were about 80ft high and still growing. Very nice in the right place but-not in my garden.

Re: It`s so quiet
I can imagine that would be a wrong place for a tree, we have a huge oak about ten feet from our living room window, other residents have tried to have it felled, I've chained myself to it twice to stop that happening. Love that tree wrong place an all. The birds, squirrels etc it's like watching a soap opera from my window all the relationships between the creatures. Tailless squirrel, fat wood pigeon, I love them all.13-07-2017, 12:00 PM

Good point. I love trees but some do not belong in gardens.

Having them cut down can bring the problem of land heave afterwards.

Re: It`s so quiet
I have a huge Oak tree at the end on my front garden, but the garden is big so I never worry about damage to my house.What does bother me is, the squirrels bury the acorns in my garden and last week I found two small oak trees growing much closer to the house.
I am afraid they may have to be cut down before they get too big... because they are only about 18 inches high at the moment.
