My neighbor tree is about 10 feet close to the fence, as I am having a small in ground pool, on my side?

My neighbor tree is about 10 feet close to the fence, as I am having a small in ground pool, on my side. The tree is hanging - "towering" - over one third of my pool on my side, and makes a lot of mess, and the pool is constantly needs to be cleaned with leaves, seeds. My neighbor knows about the issue, and says he wants the tree staying, because it gives good afternoon shade for his house from the west.It is an ash tree, and the distance is about 10-12 feet from the stone fence, and it's about 15 years old, and is huge.

Does anyone know the law, and some guideline to follow with problems like this.? Asked by zsuzsa 36 months ago Similar questions: neighbor tree 10 feet close fence small ground pool side Home > Patio, Lawn & Garden.

Trees, trimming branches First thing I would is to call your local code enforcement in your area. Then I would call a local, but reputable tree cutting serivce and see what your rights are. I know where I live, you can trim anything that hangs on your side.

I have neighbors that put up a pool. Then they had to put up a wooden fence. When they did this they had trees branches hanging on my side of the yard.

I called local code enforcement and they told me have the right to trim the branches. Good luck .

The branches on your side of the fence can be trimmed so there is nothing hanging over your pool. But do not do it yourself...A landscaper (ask local nursery to recommend a good tree service) should look at it and tell you how they can trim it so that it is not detrimental to the tree. Have the tree service given you a written statement that it can be done without harm to the tree.

Inform your neighbor what you are going to do, and show them the statement. I do not blame them for wanting to keep there tree..but think you can reach a happy compromise.

I have the same problem but I have a water feature, and the stupid small orange leaves are sticky and my poor water feature has to get covered with screen in the fall to keep out the leaves, I asked my neighbor if he minded if I trim back the branches on my side, he said it was fine, but since I too have about 8-10' on my side I trimmed some of the way and will trim again in the spring, I suggest if the leaves are good size to hang a tree net (usually to keep birds from eating the fruit on trees) its inexpensive and all you have to do is build a frame and this will catch all the leaves before they hit the pool, other thought is to screen in the pool, growing up my father always had our pools screened, its easier to clean and no animal, or reptile can take a swim. But I think if the branches are on your side you have every right to trim them, id call your local government office and ask them, try the House Inspector branch to start with. Sources: experience .

3 The tree is on his property, 10 feet away from your fence. I don't think there is any law that is going to say he has to take it down. Maybe you could ask him if he would mind if you trimmed the limbs hanging over your fence, or find out if you are allowed by law to go ahead and do it without his permission.

4 I'm pretty sure that any part of the tree that crosses over into your property is your property. So if limbs are actually hanging over your side of the fence, you should be able to trim them. If you want to remain friendly with your neighbor, I suggest working out a compromise, rather than making it a fight.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
