Unless the tree is diseased, dying/dead, or otherwise compromised (i.e.: the tree needs removed or the pruning needs addressed from the owner’s side)… you are responsible for trimming/pruning everything hanging over your property line. You would need a licensed arborist to make that decision. You can generally trim anything up to the property line in a manner that will not otherwise damage/kill the tree. Most states tree law will basically state that. Of course there will be exceptions depending on your state for things like historic/conservation status, certain species, etc. Messing with neighbors trees, especially on their side of the line, is an area you can find out (legally). Paying to replace a grown tree can get $$ fast. |

[/url] If it hovers over your driveway, why wasn't it cleared by the trimmers you just hired? The owner said he would remove the branch. I had no idea the branch was broken at the trunk. My trimmers told be if they cut any of the surrounding branches were cut, the big branch would fall. It is what it is. Wait for the neighbor to deal with it, or have your trimmers deal with it. If your trimmers can't handle a single dead branch, you should look for new trimmers. |
