My neighbour’s trees overhang our property and need to be trimmed. Who should pay for this?
If ...
My neighbour’s tree overhangs the shared driveway. Am I allowed to trim the branches back?
With shared driveways, the important thing is to keep them clear so that people’s access to their homes is not blocked. If the tree is hampering the driveway access (for example, if the tree has low-hanging branches blocking the driveway, is shedding leaves onto the driveway and making it slippery) then as the tree owner your neighbour is responsible for having the tree trimmed or removed.
It is best to start by talking to your neighbour about the situation and trying to come to an agreement about it. If you can’t agree, you can apply to the Disputes Tribunal for a decision. |
