Father in law has about 9 of these massive trees in his back garden.
They are a bit taller than his 2 storey house and sit at the back of the
garden...


The question is, is it a
diy'able job to take these down? The fears that i have are in their
rough order...

IMO no, get quotes and pay the money

Any tree is about a tenth the bulk looking at it from the ground as when
you get up close and personal - they are **** dangerous, even with only a
bow saw.

Even if you had unlimited space, I'd say have a care and be very careful.

In your situation......!!
