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**

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

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

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.
Hokie CPA • 09/03/24 09:49 AM ET
That's OK as long as the cheaper guy has full insurance coverage
