Swap them for Sitka spruce faster growing capable of growing in boggy
ground and probably more anti-social, she may not notice.

Otherwise enjoy the mince pies.

we have a client who has spent £400 on cupressus and chamaecyparis

unfortunately her garden is very boggy and the trees are wholely
inappropriate. Obviously my initial thoughts were take the trees back and 
select  a
better species for the site but she is insistent this trees are planted.

so we proposed to put in drainage in the form of a trench filled with a
perforated pipe then pea gravel then top soil, my concern is where the 
water is
going to go

is there any legalities in letting water flow onto neighbours property, is
it feasible to connect to mains water and is planning permission required 
for
such an operation.

or should i just sit at home and drink stella and eat mince pies

any thoughts on the matter would be greatly appreciated.
