I would notify the city and have them come out and advise you of any options - make a written report if able, and you might send him a certified letter - that way you'll have proof to show the Court in case of damage...I wish you the best !!

Well you could talk to him directly to see if they will trim them . If they don't respond to that you can contact the city to come out if it involves your property they will be forced to trim them.

Try inviting him over for a cup of tea or something and explain. If he does nothing (being ignorant) then there are two options:

* Inform your local council - You may need to send in a letter reporting the problem and what you want done, but they may not necessarially come round and chop it or talk to him for you. They will advise you of the laws etc.

* Just get out your own pair of gardening scissors and snip away XD - If your neighbour comes out screaming, tell him not to thank you for doing the job and either walk in or carry on
