So what's the deal with trees and property lines?
My neighbor (cool guy, retired, spends a lot of time in his yard) has mostly grass in his backyard and he's mentioned he gets tired of the tree limbs that fall off my trees because he has to pick them up.
I guess it's just a natural process of having trees, they are healthy, but occasionally they drop dead limbs, and seasonally they will drop leaves and other things like acorns or sticker balls.
I don't mind cutting them back a little, but I can't control what they drop without cutting them down. I don't want to cut them down since they are big and I like them.
I think he's a little ocd about his yard, but overall he's a cool guy and I like the friendship we have since I've been here (about a month).
This is my first time owning a house with its own yard and my first complaint of my trees dropping limbs onto someone's yard.
To his credit, he'd probably help me with anything I asked of him and he enjoys being my neighbor and vice versa. He helped me unclog one of my gutters yesterday.
There are only a few trees that overhang the property line and drop stuff onto his lawn. They are full grown trees and I couldn't possibly trim them all the way back to the property line. There will have to be some overhang, but I don't mind trimming the limbs near the bottom.
What are the "rules"?
Any suggestions?
No HOA out here, and we both have about 1.5-2.0 acre lots, lots of room, and no potential for falling and damaging property, only the dead limbs, etc. that concern him.
Thanks!
