Description

Our neighbors tree hangs over the power lines and our property. She maintains what hangs over her home. We originally were advised we could cut what was hanging over our property line. We had 3 companies come out for estimates of removing what’s over now our house and to remove the tree. Every company stated the tree needs to be properly removed and not trimmed as that could cause more damage to the tree meaning it could fall. When we nicely asked if she had any plans to remove the tree (while a company was trimming the part over her roof) she said “we are young so we can pay for it not her issue”. We have had large branches fall and hit our son. We have added a shade over his play area hoping it would help but the branch now are falling so hard, often and so much that it’s damaged our child’s playhouse and swing. We are worried about our home since it’s over the roof and large window. Every tree company stated if we trim we are setting ourselves up for the neighbor to say we damaged the tree. Can someone point me in the right direction of what to do?
