Does anyone know anything regarding cutting trees down? I have two beautiful big sycamore trees at the back of my garden that cause the wingeing neighbours to tell me to put a copper nail in them to kill because leafs fall in their gardens in Autumn ...........

DUH that's what trees do and these trees are probably older than all the neighbours!!
When I came home yesterday one of these said neighbours has cut down a young but established Horsechestnut that borders my property ............ and I mean chopped it down not just cut it back .......... I am so mad I'm spitting

I get on well with my neighbours and don't want to fall out with them (but I will if need be I'm so mad) I just want to get some facts before I go and have a 'polite' word with them!
