That's OK as long as the cheaper guy has full insurance coverage

If not, that could be part of the difference in the two quotes.

question about trimming my neighbor's tree in Virginia
dans93 • 09/03/24 09:42 AM ET
You in Greenbriar?**
BG Hokie • 09/03/24 03:32 PM ET
I would check the laws of your state. In residential settings property
jdkhokie • 09/03/24 12:38 PM ET
This sounds like a job for r/treelaw**
FitzHokie • 09/04/24 07:48 AM ET
From my experience, if it is hanging over your property, you can cut it
Vienna_Hokie • 09/03/24 12:07 PM ET
Ayup...in Virginia that's the law...

Have the tree service go with her renters are at work...lol**
EDGEMAN • 09/03/24 12:18 PM ET
my understanding is if a branch falls on your property- even though it is
bigbadbird • 09/03/24 10:52 AM ET
Correct. If the branch was alive. Dead limb would make her responsible. **
Stork • 09/03/24 11:06 AM ET
If you notify the owner of the dead/dangerous branch**
EvDogHokie • 09/03/24 11:42 AM ET
Nope. They have an obligation to periodically inspect their property
Stork • 09/03/24 12:56 PM ET
and then you have to prove in court they should have known**
EvDogHokie • 09/03/24 03:00 PM ET
Been involved in this and send a registered letter to owner
turkeywinghokie • 09/03/24 04:18 PM ET
maybe, sometimes it requires the local gov to document it
Vienna_Hokie • 09/03/24 12:20 PM ET
anti gravity boots **
bigbadbird • 09/03/24 10:39 AM ET
Your guys use a crane? if so, they can cut on your side no problem!**
vthhhi • 09/03/24 10:25 AM ET
I doubt they would be so cheap if they had a cherry picker.
Hokie CPA • 09/03/24 10:41 AM ET
Correct. Your line extends straight up.**
Stork • 09/03/24 10:02 AM ET
That's why I worry about my neighbor's pine trees.
EDGEMAN • 09/03/24 10:04 AM ET
Shallow roots
TomTurkey • 09/03/24 12:44 PM ET
Call the city public works and have their arborist inspect them
Vienna_Hokie • 09/03/24 12:12 PM ET
Good to know! Thanks!**
EDGEMAN • 09/03/24 12:17 PM ET
If her guy will cost $500 more neighbor should pay the difference.
