Hedge maintenance - who's responsibility is it?

Hi there, Please can anyone tell me who is legally responsible for maintaining a hedge planted in someone's garden but growing over the fence into someone else's garden - my neighbor's hedge is overhanging my garden by about 60cms and I have asked them to help cut it back to their side of the fence but they have refused to help out and I'm just wondering where I stand legally. Many thanks to anyone who can help me with this matter. You have the right to trim it back to your property line if you can do it without killing the plant. For your neighbor to enter your property to trim it, you would have to give a written release to your neighbor. If this becomes a frequent task that your neighbor does, you might inadvertently create an easement on your property for that purpose, which I don't think you want. -- David E.
