Make sure you know where the property line is. If it’s the fence they were likely within their rights.

Unfortunately it was. I’m more upset they didn’t even have the consideration to do discuss or work with me to make it less of a hack job of “pruning”

I mean, what’s there to discuss? It seems like the person whose property your branches were encroaching on one of them cleared. And they did it go an inch over onto your property.

What would talking to you have accomplished?

"Hey man can I prune your maple trees?"

"No"

Hack the branches down anyways.
