    I would get a proper tree surgeon to sort that one out.

    Health and Safety in mind. And as mentioned... public liability Insurance...

    We poisoned ours, on the advice of the tree surgeon who was not interested at all. He took the tree down to the stump but that was it. Anyway, bloody thing kept sprouting new shoots until the day we moved out

    Ask Sheffield City Council's advice.... they're bloody experts at felling 100's of mature trees... that just happen to have lifted a bit of tarmac here and there.

    Just keeping the place tidy... and safe for clumsy idiot pedestrians. :rolleyes:

    Sums up the tragedy of present day UK, for me.

    Don`t work harder..Work smarter.
    Turn the stump into a rocket stove and drink beer till it obliterates itself.
