Trees

I have a beautiful 100 year o pine tree in the corner of my yard and it drops a very small amount of pine needles in my neighbors yard who has recently bought the property. He want me to cut any limbs that hang over his property even though they about 40 feet up. Cutting the limbs on his side would make the tree lobsided and therefore dangerous. Am I required to cut my tree?

When we bought our home the area next to us was vacant. The builder has started to develop the prop for housing development. Our home was the last home built next to his land. His tree has caused alot damage to the side walk. We received a notice to repair this said sidewalk. Why would we pay to have pay for damages done by someone else neglect?

I live in the Town of Oyster Bay, Nassau County, NY. Two healthy trees from the corner of my property fell during Tropical Storm Irene. One fell across my yard. One across my rear neighbor's yard. Am I responsible for the cost of having the tree removed from my neighbor's property?

I have an old oak tree whose trunk is about 2 feet from my neighbors property. About half of the tree's branches hang over their property including over one of their driveways. They are now sweeping any acorns and branches/twigs out of their yard and putting them in a pile on the street in front of my house for me to clean up stating they are from my tree and are my responsibility to clean up; they shouldn't have to do it. The tree has been maintained throughout the years with the branches that are dead or encroaching on our and the neighbor's roof removed/trimmed back. My question is who is legally responsible for clean up of acorns, leaves, twigs and branches that fall on their property and how much of the trees branches can they remove from their property since that is what they want to do?

I read the statement below on your website. I need to know if it applies specifically to my city and state Murray, Utah). Our neighbor, without warning or consultation, cut a substantial number of limbs off our 20 year old cherry tree, and in the process, went 2 feet over the property line on our side. He also topped an aspen tree that was growing at a slight angle toward his fence, killing the tree, again going over the property line. What are the location specific legal guidelines in cutting a neighbor's tree? 'A property owner who finds a neighbor's tree encroaching must first warn or give notice to the tree owner prior to commencing work and give the tree owner the chance to correct the problem. If the tree owner does nothing, the tree can still be trimmed. As a general rule, a property owner who trims an encroaching tree belonging to a neighbor can trim only up to the boundary line and must obtain permission to enter the tree owner's property, unless the limbs threaten to cause imminent and grave harm. Additionally, the property owner cannot cut the entire tree down and cannot destroy the structural integrity or the cosmetic symmetry and appeal of a tree by improper trimming.
