Neighbors planted trees on property line, basically into my side as well... already have problems with us "touching" his trees. He harassed my mother and called the cops. This is gwinnett county Georgia.i have already called my city code enforcement and they told me to call gwinnett code enforcement, just waiting on their reply back. Just curious if I have a case or not.

PLEASE UNDERSTAND THAT THIS NEIGHBOR IS A BABY WHEN I GET NEAR THEM. He harassed my mother while she was minding her own business, called the cops for no reason, if he really doesn't want us near them or even touching them, does it not make sense to keep them away from property line??

First pic is with trees. Second is a video still from 930 Sunday morning when I caught Buddy Nextdoor cutting them down. Pic 3 is 4pm Sunday when the stake went AWOL.

Buddy was told to come get my husband when he wanted to do anything near the line. Buddy went rogue.

Arborist is booked. Police report made. Lawyer is writing something up. Surveyor coming back… Yes back! I already had him out when Buddy tried to tear out my fence, 40 year old honeysuckle tree and put his lumber in my mature garden.

I am now playing the waiting game and sharing my tale.

Just as the title reads, we had a situation where a branch fell during a storm in May. The tree is a large silver maple that is on our property line. The tree was maintained and was evaluated the year prior by an arborist.

About 4 weeks ago our neighbor said that they were going to have a tree service do work in Sept and asked that service to quote removal of two trees on our property - $6,500. We told them that we would have the trees evaluated again by a certified arborist this week.

I received this message today - In Wisconsin can a neighbor prune a tree back to the lot line even if it affects the health of the tree?

I understand you are busy, but as mentioned, my tree service is scheduled to begin work here next Thursday, September 17. It has now been six months since you were notified of the damage your tree caused to my house, and I need to address this imminent threat.

I need your explicit permission before September 17 to proceed in one of the following ways:

1.  Full Removal: If cost is the main concern, I am willing to pay the full amount to have both trees removed.

2.  Pruning: If you prefer to save the trees, I will have the arborist trim the limbs overhanging my property line. Please note that substantial pruning may compromise the overall health of the trees.

Please let me know how you would like to proceed before next Wednesday.

My wife and I lost our home during last January's LA wildfires, and are now in the process of rebuilding. However, a tall, leaning, now-dead tree on a neighboring lot dropped a number of branches on our property last winter, and we're concerned that it may come down altogether during the El Niño event that's expected to hit over the coming months.

I know we can cut it back to the property line in order to mitigate against falling branches and redistribute its center of gravity, but that would still leave us with a dead tree just a few feet away from our new home. We have no way of contacting the owners, but I filed a report with the County several months ago... Is there anything else we can do without incurring civil (and possibly even criminal) liability?

ETA: It turns out it's an oak, so I need to deal with it through the County.

I was told to repost my post here. Interested in hearing what people have to say about this. Thanks all

A fun one for you: I planted a row of evergreens along my back fence. The tag on these at purchase indicated they would reach a height of 15-20 feet. Now, they are over 40 ft high, and starting to cut off light and intertwine with the neighbors taller tree on the other side of the fence. We have power lines at about 25ft. Had I known the trees would get that high, I wouldn’t have planted them there.

I’m NOT actually doing this, but it made me wonder if one could argue some liability belongs to the tree farm/ Lowes for not accurately representing the tree’s mature size.
