You can charge the neighbour for costs regarding disposal and judge will favour the plaintiff/ (non tree owner).

Is that a "law book"?:laugh1:

 

 

 

and if you read it, it says "yours to dispose of", that doesn't say you cant return it to the owners property.

 

 

No that's a respective property law firm. 🙈

I have never cut overhanging branches & returned them to the owner, neither has anyone I know, it would most likely result in an action.

 

So tell me Treequip, do you return these overhanging branches to the owner, without their consent, I bet you dont!:001_rolleyes:

 

I have on several occasions on the direct instruction of a client.

It is industry standard practice, if contracted to remove overhanging branches from a neighbors tree we chip & dispose at the expense of the client over who's land the branches hang, ( we are obliged to ask the tree owner if they want the arrisings, they rarely do).

Anyone arguing to the contrary is just misinformed, or argumentative.

Yes, but thats not law, the law is unfortunately not based on wright or wrong or industry best practice.

 

Come on the client has already payed for the cutting, should they really pay for disposal too?????????:confused1:

So do tell, do you advise your clients that he can just have the branches placed on the tree owners property, without the tree owners consent?

What's the point of going into what maw says what, and what a lawsuit might result in, who cares!!??

The tree can be pruned, nicely, and the neighbors will be fine. Some trespass may occur with ropes etc. But that doesn't matter, the neighbor can be informed and if done politely it should be ok.

 

Oh I was looking at this job and the tree owner was completely, irrational and refused to allow any "tresspass" then I would leave it, but I get a successful outcome nearly every time, without worrying about laws or calling uncle solicitors. My job is to find solutions to tree problems, that's what must of us do here.

 

I do take issue with new homeowners wanting to reduce the height of neighboring trees, I take great pleasure in telling them they've bought the wrong house!! But in this instance the tree overhangs, it can be cut back nicely, and really doesn't have to be complicated like this.
