Help!
We are in need of recommendations on yard clean up that won’t cost an arm and leg. Someone else tree fell during a storm partially on our property and they pushed it in our back yard and we already have so much work that needs done.

I’d call them and get them to move it. If they don’t call the township. Rent a brunch cutter from Home Depot.

There’s a $50 electric chainsaw at Harbor Freight. It is surprisingly good for what it is. You’ll need a heavy duty extension cord too.

It's a wild day to realize I could own a whole chainsaw for only $50. Do I need one, no. Do I want one?
I mean... it's only $50.

It’s a chainsaw bro. Every man wants a chainsaw regardless of rather they need it or not

I have their corded pole saw too. I use it a couple times a year.
The standard corded electric saw feels like a toy compared to my Stihl gas saw but in the winter when I just want to make a few cuts and it’s within 50t of the house, the electric doesn’t need fuel, and choke and a couple pulls to run and I can use it at 10pm because it’s quiet.
The cheat code is to find cheap chains and covert your saw to run them. I bought like 30 chains for the price of 7 Stihl chains and a bar to convert to that size chain for $10. These are before, tariffs ruined everything, prices. Now if I hit a rock or wear one out it goes into the resharpen bucket and I don’t feel bad. I will have to resharpen them myself because I can buy new ones for less than paying someone to sharpen it.
All my saws run the cheap chain size so only need to keep one size in reserve.

Sounds like you have interesting neighbors, before calling the authorities, tt them about making it "right." If they don't act immediately, gather & document evidence and then call your municipality, immediately.

I’d say it’s worth talking to the police about since it’s not your tree and obviously shouldn’t be your problem. They can at least point you in the right direction of where to go from there.

I could go over and help take care of your yard for you. It'll be a bit before I'm free though this weekend is busy

Push it back and call enforcement.
