I have thought of a fence, but then again the victim has the
burden of protection against intruders. Some people that
have replied to the thread said that since I have more
property than the neighbor, that I should be willing to let
it go and that I will benefit from the trees. First, I have
a row of trees that are more than five years ahead of the
neighbor;s and they are the ones I will benefit from. His
are redundant. Second, as far as me having more property,
that's what I am paying for and I want FULL access to it,
even if only to mow it. I had a next door neighbor who
thought the property lines meant little and he used my
property to turn on when mowing his grass. If my grass was
longer than his, I wound up with a scalloped edge along that
line until I mowed it. Both of my next door neighbors and I
do not cross the lines when mowing and we don't even blow
the clippings on each others property. They are great
neighbors. I wish the one in back was the same.

That's one of the reasons why I'm glad I moved into a neighborhood with a
homeowner's association. We work out problems like yours within the
community.
