Tree trimming mightmare

Asked by lindahnt2165 4 months ago, 2 answers.

We have 4 large pines that we planted years ago to give us privacy from neighbors. The trees are planted on our property but branches do hang over neighbors back yard. I understand that he has the right to trim the tree branches that are on his property....

But he came onto our property and trimmed them all the way to the trunk 5 feet off the ground. We had trimmed them on our side because they grow beside our driveway. does he have the right to come onto our property and cut them that far back? Why not just cut off what was over his property?

He has no right to be on your property. To stop this from happening you should trim that side so it is not over his property. You trim the side that annoys you or hangs over to far but you leave the side that hangs over his property. So make sure the other side is trimmed and he will most likely not go on your property.
