best way to clear 11 metres of hedge and trees

Maybe cut down the large trees, leave the stumps. That will give access to tidy up the hedge. Either the stumps will rot, and provide habitat for beetles, woodlice, fungi, or shoots will spring up which can be managed as part of the hedge.

It will take years to rot the stumps, we have conifer stumps that were cut years ago and still there thats why we stump ground out the latest trees

Wow I didn't expect so many replies! You guys are making me feel bad about making the birds and other critters homeless

Thanks for the food for thought, losing the trees only would certainly be less work. I'll have another chat with the neighbour and see how we go.
 
Why not offer the hedges on Free cycle ,I'm sure someone would think they are worthwhile to come and dig out for you !.

Haha knowing my local group they will either want me to dig it up and deliver it 30 miles away at 1030 on a Tuesday or the admin will get a bag on about me asking people to come and look at my bush!
