something compelled Joe <joe5345@xxxxxxxxx>, to say:
My neighbor has had a dead tree in the back of his property for about
a year, last night the wind finally broke the trunk and it fell a
little toward my yard but was stopped by a large oak tree on my
property. I'm worried that it might break apart and fall when my
children are playing in the yard. I need this tree to come down and
I'm worried that my neighbor won't do it. They have a habit of only
doing the kind of maintenance that is absolutely necessary. How do I
approach them to make sure they take care of this problem? I'm on
good terms with this neighbor and I'd like to take care of this in the
most tactful way possible but I get the feeling they are going to tell
me that if I want the tree down I'm going to have to pay for it
myself.
I'm having some weed trees taken down next Friday. It will be
$190 an hour. Were I in your shoes, I'd just get it done.
I guess you could present the bill to your neighbor, say his tree
littered your yard and this is what you had to do to clear it up,
and see what he says. Or you could ask him what he plans to do
about it. Or you could have the work done, and then go see Judge
Judy.
The law will vary from location to location. However around
here and I believe most places, you have the right to cut or trim any
part of a tree or other plant that is on or over your property. I
don't believe many if any areas require the property owner who has the
base of the plant on their side of the line is obligated to pay any of
the cost.
