As I said in my original post, I planted a row of Leyland
Cypress at the rear of my property five years ago to form a
screen. I planted mine ten feet from the three property
lines so I will be able to mow between them and the lines.
His trees will eventually grow to meet mine, restricting my
mowing. I have one acre of property, so space is not the
issue. If he had a large oak or other shade tree crossing
the line, I would not have a problem with it. It's the low
level growth that bothers me. I don't impose on other
people's property and expect the same of them. I just don't
want someone to think they can use my property as theirs.

I did explain the situation to him and that if the trees are
trimmed to that extent they will probably die. My health
issues will put me in a position to hire someone to do the
trimming and hauling the trash. I don't feel that I should
be put in that position.

I'm feel I'm a good neighbor, helping my neighbors whenever
they need me. I have a fully equipped woodworking shop and a
welder and I gladly use them to help my neighbors without
charge.


Some neighbors suck. It is the luck of the draw I suppose. I have a guy next
door that thinks about 4 feet into my property is his. He isn't going to be
happy when I put up that privacy fence. Maybe you can put up a privacy fence
on just that property line. Any ideas on what would happen to the trees if
this was done?
