Trees are a common source of dispute between neighbours. Overhanging branches and encroaching roots have the potential to cause property damage and personal injury, and they can also affect the way you enjoy your property. It is always best to resolve any problems over trees directly with your neighbour. This will be quicker, cheaper and less stressful than any other channels. Before considering any action, you should talk to your neighbour about the problem and ask them politely to prune the tree back to the fence line, dig up the roots or provide you with assistance and vice versa. Think carefully about the trees and shrubs you are planting; and if they may become a problem in the future discuss the potential issue with your neighbour directly.
