Well my nextdoor neighboors tree sits close to my yard. His tree branches come over my yard and its annoying. Im 6 ft tall and everytime I cut the grass I have to duck several times inorder to cut the grass. Ive had problems with them before so I dont want to start further conflict I just want to cut the branches that go over my property line.
cliff notes : Can I cut tree branches going over my property line if the tree isnt actually in my yard ?

chopping his tree apart(without asking) is likely to piss him off a bit. However, you being a nice, civil human being and simply asking him if he minds you trimming, might cause a bit less trouble and at least will show some common courtesy.
Then again, if you are already on such bad terms that this guy doesn’t even want you on his property, well than it sounds like you are probably not very civil. In that case, might as well just cut down the tree so it falls on his house.

Even though you’ve had problems with him I would still ask him 1st to handle it. If he then refuses you can atleast say that you tried.

What are the chances of getting a two dead birds in your drive way with bb pellet wounds and blood all over in your drive way laying next to each other. And than a while ago a received a bird in my lawn with his head chopped off. Im not one to judge but I can kinda guess who put them there. Would you want to walk up to some ones door step who probly planted these in your yard. ☹

You may not have a daughter, but you still suck at using the english language.

Are you kidding? Being me is AWESOME. I’d let you try it for a day, but you’d probably get someone pregnant.
