You could have saved yourself a lot of trouble with the Leylandii. Once the green stuff has been cut off they will not regenerate.
I removed a mature Leylandii hedge a few years ago and left stumps about 1 metre high, as I knew that within a couple of years or so I'd be able to loosen them or break them off the roots, which is exactly what happened. Not so good if you need to clear the area straight away, of course.
Laurel is a totally different matter. Maybe drilling holes and using glyphosate herbicide would work, but it's better to use SBK brushwood killer (main ingredient is triclopyr).
