Severe pruning

There are, or were, some very large laurel 'bushes' across the road from us, almost as high as our house and towering over Matalan's roof. Her Three Doors Down has caused some bother about them, and now they have been severely pruned.

The very professional young men came with ear protectors and chain saws and hacked the laurels and other bushy growth right back. Except the wind is really getting up now, and they severely, really severely pruned them on one side only. So we have some unbalanced, lop-sided 'bushes' leaning over Matalan's roof which I suspect is fibre glass.

I hope I am being dippy and that nothing is likely to happen, and the way that the local geography works means that winds are extremely unlikely to blow them towards Matalan, but I don't think this was very well thought out.
