Trees

My neighbor called me yesterday to inform me that the roots of a tree in my yard had lifted & cracked her patio slab. This morning I had our tree company inspect it and they will be removing the tree tomorrow. My neibhbor has already cut out the offending roots (some of which were at least 2' in diameter). My neighbor now wants me to pay to have her patio slab re-done. (In a side note, approx 3 months ago we jointly replaced the fence between our two yards and NOTHING was said to us about her patio - this is the first we have heard about it).We feel the neighbor should have either cut the roots out or at least told us about it prior to the roots causing damage.Because of these circumstances, are we legally liable to bear the cost of the repair of her patio slab?

For last few years, my neighbor to my rental home has been complaining of the leaves that fall of off my magnolia tree on to her property. What she wants is for me to remove the tree. In the years past, I've accomodated her by having the tree trimmed. The tree has been trimmed so much that it is half the size it use to be...and she still complains. The tree has been there long before I purchased the property back in 1997, and the complaining didn't begin until a few years ago. Basically, nothing has changed to warrant her complaining. This year when she called to complain, I told her that I would ask the tenant to rake a couple times a week, but that I had the tree trimmed last year, so I wasn't going to do it again this year, and no, I wasn't removing the tree.What I would like to know is if there is a law about my trees leaves blowing onto a neighbors?

My nieghbor is treating me, calling the police and other horible actions all because I want to trim back his tree limbs and branches back to my property line. He is saying that I cant cut a branch if it is over 2 inches thick??? The trees are blocking light to my 17 arborvities that are under these trees, stunting the growth, they also cause alot of litter every year that i have to clean up. Do they have the right to tell me what trees i can trim? Can I get into trouble for trimming there tree back only to my property line, If the tree is not adversely affected?

My neighbor has a tree that is hitting the roof of my house. I told him about this problem and told him I would pay for 1/2 the cost to have this part of the tree cut and any branches that will grow in the future cut. He agreed and said he would get someone to do this. Now he's changed his mind and he doesn't want to do this. Can I have the part of the tree that is hitting my house and that is way over the property line cut without getting his permission or getting into any trouble?

Our tree blew over during a wind storm onto neighboring property. This was not just part of the tree. The whole tree came uprooted and although the largest end with all the roots is still in our yard, a lot of the tree landed on property behind us and was blocking their driveway. We have cut up a lot of the tree and branches and stacked them to clear their driveway. Are we responsible for completely getting rid of all of the tree since it was an act of God? I was told that in Florida we are not responsible for any acts of God, since we were not negligent.
