You should go back to school dude you are giving them wrong information yes they are different trees but they do counterbalance each other that other tree that you're leaving has no roots coming this way because of that other tree you are lying and you are deceiving this man big time I hope you before someone gets hurt
Bobby, you need to watch more of my videos. I made up with this guy and took down the other half. I excavated the stump to reveal that I spoke the truth. Experience doesn’t lie Bobby. 😃 thanks for the comment th-cam.com/video/H9y-PW7t3oY/w-d-xo.htmlsi=CSZE8xGW03sDKevH
...actually Bobby James...with the tree in that condition, it definitely is a hazardous situation. Because the tree has grown on the gents property, and is easily identifiable as such...HE IS responsible for the costs of removing such hazard...he should be grateful that the woman undertook the cost of the removal. Had she notified the City and had inspectors come out, he would have been required under City code to have it removed and the cost would have been all his......
And you. Think. The roots. Do… what? Counterbalance the other tree?
Please show your work. My structural and statics engineering courses didn’t cover this fantastic discovery of yours.
Please explain how removing the top of an adjacent tree causes a root systems magic ability to cantilever a separate tree to suddenly disappear.
It’s more likely the two tree were undermining each other’s balanced growth and removing one made things better, not worse. Not much better though. So when the other falls you magicians will still claims it’s because of removing the other tree.
Sheer ignorance.
you wrong Bobby what are you talking about
Look up anything about tree roots and be amazed by just how incredibly huge they are.
There will be dozens of massive root systems down there all anchored to mother earth
I had a nasty neighbor who thought he was a lawyer. He and his Karen wife gave me a hard time about everything. Right down to "You cant change your oil on your truck in your driveway". I ended up getting a restraining and no trespass order on them. But the verbal abuse continued from the property line. So I put up a stockade fence. (That's a great story in itself) After a few years I ended up getting a job offer and moved to the country surrounded by a wildlife reservation. My old house was sold to a wonderful young family. The woman was a very sharp young lawyer, and her husband was a police officer. After two attempts at causing trouble for the new family, (and the two law suites against the old neighbors........the old neighbors lost both) my old neighbors, moved away! WIN, WIN!!
You gotta love to see the busybody Karens lose 😎
That story warms my heart. Hear that Linda & John? I curse you to your graves, which I will spit on.
I wish people would stop calling women that. The guy was more of a jerk than she was, even though they were both unkind.
@@ercokattyIf you get called Karen a lot, there is a reason. You must be "that neighbor". Stop being a Karen, and the world will quit calling you one. There should be a rehab for people like you.
@@ercokatty not only that but it's so last year.
“I’m not trying to be difficult” means I’m going to be a pain in the ass.
Great job
"Yes you are."
Not trying, I know I am!
What he really meant is "I'm too cheap to pay you to take down the other side so if it unbalances and falls I want you to pay for all the damages so lets get it on the record."
means he's not going to be railroaded and taken advantage of.
@@circusboy90210 because that’s what he does to others.
That neighbor is terrible man. He is nothing but trouble.
I love your wisdom.

This guy seems like the kind of guy that would park his boat under a tree during a hurricane
As a homeowner, if that was my tree and on my property line, I would immediately have it removed for the safety of my neighbor and their property. I would be ashamed and embarrassed otherwise. Shame on him and his snotty wife!
I can truly relate Norbert. One of our core values is Extreme ownership and it would compel me to do as you have said. instagram.com/tv/CXGmjZ7JD4v/?. Thanks for your comment!
I agree - I would do the same. That said, how does an ethical, moral and good values based neighbor pay Mr.Game of Trees in those tight situations? This is not cheap work and I would loose sleep knowing 5,000lbs of tree will fall on my neighbors garage before figuring out my financial solution.
I'm a newbie homeowner.
@@johncollins7044 Here is AZ, if the neighbors tree is hanging over my fence, I can trim to the fence. I have done it to my neighbors oak on one side and my other neighbor has done it to my tree that is hanging over his pool. I have no issues with it either way.
@@nmopzzz i live in tucson and i researched about trimming trees coming across property lines, and what he says in the video about if you trim and kill the tree than its on you is true here. dont believe everything you hear.
I would propose that we share cost, we both win.
I can't believe the dude with the boat can't take ownership of a tree planted on his property. It floors me the level of slimeball trying to get out of paying money to do the right thing.
Here’s a follow up on the situation. th-cam.com/video/g2Z81punreI/w-d-xo.html
yes, if part of the tree grown over to the neighbor, the neighbor has the right to remove it.
That's a big part of why he has a nice house and a boat. If he was a working man he wouldn't be such an A$$.
@@sandspar You really think a working man can't have a nice house and boat? Where do you live, Britain?
@@user-dk9or8sk1x Has nothing to do with having it, just a comment on how he probably got it. If he was a working man he would be more respectful to others, he's a jerk, jack leg contractor type, I live in God's country, thanks for asking.
What a mess to deal with nasty neighbors, I appreciate you standing your ground!! Hooray for arborists everywhere 😊

I used to own a house that has a large pine tree that grew right in the middle of the property line and was leaning toward the neighbor's house. I hired people to remove 7 trees on my property after I bought my house. Trying to be a friendly neighbor and because it was on the property line, I offered to remove the tree at my own expense and he told me that he would sue me if it damages his house. The kicker was his house was abandoned due to total damage from a fire. I left the tree alone and a year later, he demolished his house. In the process, he knocked on my door and asked if I wanted to remove the tree and split the expense. I reminded him what he told me and closed the door. Sometimes, people don't have the gratitude for what was offered to them.
Thanks for the story!
I LOVE this story. Some people......
Good for you 👍
@@geosdev The tree did not affect my property one bit. There are certain people that you just have to avoid. They are too entitled, or just plane looney. Based on your colorful language, I guess you are one of those type of neighbors. If you call me an @$$ for not indulging someone who threatened to sue me when I was trying to be nice, than so be it. LOL
Ha! I also offered to pay 50% to cut 3 trees next to my house my neighbor planted 3 feet right next to our bedroom windows on property line. I think it was river birch trees. We lived in a neighborhood where the houses were close to each other. I offered to pay 50%. The roots began growing under my house and out the back yard. We couldn't even barely mow the yard without tripping on them. Then my house started cracking where the roots were growing in the bedroom. Then a limb fell and damaged my roof, not once but twice. She accepted my offer to pay 50%, finally 3 years later.. I was very patient with her. . I offered to find someone to cut the tree and she was adiment that she would do it and that was fine. A man arrived to give her a quote. It was evident they knew each other. . I was sitting on my back porch and he gave her a reasonable offer. Then she told him how terrible her neighbor was (me) and gave a sob story of her financial situation. She asked him to increase the quote and double it and when she got my 50%,it would be the amt of his original quote so she would not have to pay anything.. He agreed. Therefore I would be paying 100% of the bill . When I heard this, I learned how evil and crooked folks could be. She delivered the quote to me, and i told her when they are cut, call me and I will give 50% of his quote to her. When he was through, I gave him 50% of his original quote and told both of them that I heard their entire conversation. They were both in shock and silent. So she was still stuck with her half. Lesson learned. Many people are thieves and crooks..
"I'm not trying to be difficult" that is literally exactly what you're doing
If you really listen to someone like this, they will tell you that they are doing exactly that.
Aren't you kind of the Karen 👍
It's really sad that the couple cares so little about their neighbors safety. All they care about is their own pocketbook.

@@GameofTrees the ignorance of angry neighbor once he is on notice of the danger is amazing. Like the good neighbor, I would have mitigated the damage and been reimbursed by angry neighbor or his insurance. My lawyer would of been paid also by them.
There is nothing worse than having a bad neighbor
Because of the neighbors we ended up moving to the country where you can barely see a neighbor.
My neighbors on either side of me had a few big trees leaning over my property that were becoming a hazard. When their arborists showed up you know what I did? I introduced myself, unlocked all my gates, offered them access to my property from both sides, and told them thank you and be safe. No idea how people can be so un-neighborly.
It's called NIMBY-ism and it's always been there. Looking up videos of parents holding up signs when the N word when school busing was a thing. School bussing was immediately killed in the courts because rich white parents don't want their children brushing shoulders with poor minority kids.
these days people are just assholes, even when walking along side of someone in a store for a few seconds, people just tend to make it awkward when it's really nothing. No one is intentially trying to invade your space, it's just a shared moment in time so there's no need for the long face. I mean we all share these side by side moments all the time everyday. For example we all do it all the time in our vehicles when we are on the freeway. There could be a racist driving along side a thief who is driving along side a sextet who is driving along side an off duty cop who is driving along side a mother driving her children driving along side a man going to work, We all share that same shared space everyday without letting our personal views get in the way of the flow, but as soon as people get out of there vehicles and do the same thing when walking, there's always going to be some asshole who just has to be an asshole. Like I said, in these days People are just assholes, and they are assholes for no real reason but just to be an asshole.
You are a good neighbour.
It amazes me how people can live just feet away from each other but yet be so indifferent towards each other. It's like, You have to look at each other every day so, how does that work?
I did the same when my neighbor had his tree cut. Was really a threat to my house, but easier for them to reach from my yard.
“I took down another tree.”
So what? And he deliberately parks his boat right under the tree that he thinks is going to fall down. Not only that, the guy is such a clown that another tree service left and didn’t want to deal with him. Incredible.
He was hoping to pay the boat off 😂
From the looks of things, he still had his boat parked underneath the remaining half this past summer.
More likely, he would rather deal with the hassle of a claim and everything instead of mildly alter his behavior, like someone who thinks he is less of a man for moving out of someone else’s way on a sidewalk.
@@Austin1990 Well, just to note, you are less of a man if you're giving up more than half the sidewalk.
I paid to have a tree removed on my property that had NO BEARING or safety issue to MY property but was a major risk to my neighbor. He is a retired marine and his wife died 3 years ago so he is alone and on a fixed income. If anything happened to his property from damage it could ruin him. I paid to remove the tree and wow it’s expensive but worth it. He came over like a couple days later and thanked me profusely. I’ve been that man’s neighbor for 37 years now. Since I was a kid. When my parents retired I bought the house. Let me tell you being on good terms with your neighbors is ESSENTIAL to having a happy life. Don’t be like those assholes because one day you’ll need to count on your neighbor for something and trust me they will remember your actions. That same marine saved my ass when I was 17 and drunk at a party and didn’t know who to call to get home. I called him at 3 am and he picked up and didn’t judge me and got me home safe and sound. Never once told my parents either but he told me as a man I should tell them. He was a role model to me and I’m damn proud to have him as my neighbor. Idk why I felt so inclined to write this but here it is lol
It’s a great story, thank you. Someone likely benefited from it
@A weeb god with a tra....
I'm an old woman but this made me cry. I don't know why but it sure struck a chord in my heart. Maybe I see in you what I had in mind for my son to be , but who never made it past 25yrs old before he took his life. Whatever the reason, THANKYOU Sir for sharing and God bless that marine neighbour. 🇦🇺🤗💞🙏✌️👍👏🇺🇲
Good neighbours are a blessing.
And you would have been financially liable anyway but good you took care of it
If the tree would of fallen and it was your responsibility you would be liable. They would most likely sue you and home owners insurance would kick in that instance. Bet you any money if his boat was in that danger he would fix it an instant. I hope karma doesn’t bite him in the end.
As soon as someone says "I'm not trying to be difficult" thats exactly what their trying to be.

In the question of "how much can a tree cost?", a formerly wooded lot next to our property was sold for development. The home owner at the front corner of our lot asked to cut down a "crappy tree" on our property, just in from the corner. He wanted it down because it was shading his soon-to-be front yard.
We said absolutely not - this is a very old, very valuable tree and would not be touched. Just to be sure, we sent this in writing, by certified letter.
He hired a tree company, told them it was his tree and had them remove it while we were out of town.
It was a 100+ foot tall, five foot diameter BLACK WALNUT. Likely one of the largest remaining in Ohio. If you just eyeballed it, the tree was something like 11,000 board feet. At something like $5 to $10 a board foot. as in "something like $100,000. And they had LET THE TREE COMPANY HAVE THE TRUNK (because they were idiots).
So...we got an emergency order to stop the tree company from selling the log, and sued the property owner. The judge was a country guy and went ballistic when he saw photos of the tree and copies of the letter (with signed receipts). He gave us triple damages at $90,000 valuation ($270,000) plus the tree company had to return the log to us, which we sold for $67,000 (it was actually over 12,000 BF, but the tree company had cut it into shorter logs. If it was in 30' sections it would have been over $100K).
The property owners went bankrupt and had to move.
so...not exactly common, but "the wrong tree" can cost you a lot.
What state do you live in. I'm in Pa. and we have that triple damage in our laws. I had a woman next door to me that had a chain link fence up and I hated it. I planted a row of arbs along it so I wouldn't have to see it. She came out one day with spray paint and said she was going to paint her fence. She sprayed my arbs also. I went to a lawyer friend of mine and he told me any damages would be tripled automatically. It was nice to hear.
Serves 'em right!
Yeah, well, I hope you bought some decent Scotch after that. I sure would have needed a few bottles of it, that's for sure!
that hurts me to read... Trees like that aren't something money can hardly even value; there's no getting a new one there without taking losses ecologically and financially across the board.. or waiting a century...
I guess the neighbour figured that once the tree was gone there might be some arguing but not much more. It clearly never entered their mind that the tree might be worth a lot in timber. Surpirised the tree company didn't cut it to maximise value, but they were getting paid twice anyway. Trees like that, the loggers pay you to remove it.
You were not being aggressive. You were being firm. You did great.
Thanks
Exactly 💯 agree !!!
You are solid. Not aggressive.
Well done.
The Person holding the Camera, probably new 30 times more than that dickhead who was doing the arguing.
@@GameofTrees Here's how I would've spoken to him, in a very calm, moderate voice:
1. "As a professional Arborist, who has testified as an expert witness in court cases involving tree damage, I can tell you that cutting off this one main trunk is not going to impact the other main trunk structurally at all. So my work here is not going to negatively impact you at all."
2. "Because the trunk that goes into your neighbor's property is crossing his property line, and poses a potential hazard to his property, he has every right to cut off that trunk at his property line." (The fact that the property line goes up into the sky actually works in your client's favor here, not the neighbor's favor.)
3. "Because the tree poses a potential hazard to my client's home, *you* might face liability if we don't cut this tree back, and some might argue it's your responsibility to to do, since it's ultimately your tree, even if he has the right to trim anything crossing his property line.
4. "We're not going to sign anything assuming any liability here, because that wouldn't be appropriate. If you have any issues with your tree later, and want to try to sue me or my client over that, that would certainly be your right. However, I don't believe you'd have any legal basis to prevail on, and you'd therefore just be wasting your money."
5. "I think it would be best for everyone if we cut off the trunk at this specific point, but if you only want me to cut off the portion crossing over my client's property line, that's also fine. I'll then only be working on his side of the property line."
6. "If you want me to cut down your portion of the tree as well, and are willing to pay me for it, I'm also happy to do that. It's just not my or my client's responsibility to do so unless you cover the cost."
His tree, his responsibility. He’s lucky his neighbors are taking care of his tree that’s threatening their house.
Kind of a jerk if you ask me.
Have the exact same situation, he planted on property line -breaking french drain, blocking storm water drainage, tree is growing in my property..the neighbor is a total jerk
Kind of ??? that's an understatement.
Can't fix stupid
Instead of realizing that the tree over the property line is a definite risk to his neighbor's home and working with them to take care of it they would rather be obstinate asses about it. How many times do you see news stories of falling limbs from storms not only damaging homes but cause injuries even deaths and this Kevin and Karen pair of armchair lawyers want to be jerks. Unreal.
It's so easy to be easy going.
ABSOLUTELY a jerk. And I can tell the type via a hundred other indicators without him even saying a word about it. Go Hogs.
"I'm not trying to be difficult..." For a guy who isn't trying, you're making it look easy.

You're not being aggressive. You're being honest and assertive. There's a distinct difference.
Amen
Hank Hill would be proud.
The absolute audacity of that neighbor. You’d think he’d be grateful that his neighbor was paying to have a portion of HIS tree removed because it was a liability to HIM.
If I were him, I wouldn’t even let my neighbor pay for it, I would. THIS is one reason why my nearest neighbor is 3000’ away from me.
Exactly! There was a tree directly on the property line between my house and the neighbor...giant ugly scrub pine. The new owner came over one day and asked if it would be OK with me to remove the tree. I offered to pay for half. No reason to be an butthead.
Nobody likes to pay for things like this - I get it. But it’s cheaper in the long run to just have it done and maintain good relationships with your neighbors. Seems like his neighbors are really nice folks
If I was the paying neighbor, I would have cut what overhung my land and been done with it.
Why would he be grateful? If the neighbor's tree branches overhang your property, you are responsible for those branches. That's the law in most places. The guy who's paying for the branch removal here is the one who's supposed to be paying for it. Duh
If a tree in your yard breaks and crushes your neighbor's fence, their insurance company is on the hook in most states.
This is exactly why I lived way out in the country with my closest neighbor a quarter mile away - and that's my son.
You are absolutely correct - life is too bloody short for such nonsense. As some smart person said “Don’t sweat the small stuff”.
Also: "Never argue with an idiot because they will drag you down to their level then beat you with experience".
You'd think the dude would be appreciative of someone else taking care of his problem, at their expense instead of being belligerent.
Seriously!!!!
I agree with the tree owner
In all my 63 years I have never seen people take issues to such extremes like they do these days. Karen and his wife just HAD to come out and throw a tantrum.
people like the BOAT people always try and use thier youtube law degree
Try where I'm living and I'm in an HOA. Many residents here are all about themselves, making their own rules and bickering and badgering on line. Sadly this has happened in many instances.
Evil manifesting daily. All out in the open.
The problem is a generation of entitled people who want something for nothing and refuse to take responsibility for their property. It's unbelievable and so unnecessary. I mean, they could split the cost of having the entire hazard removed and save the drama for something much more important.
Karen and his wife (that's hilarious btw!!) are just typical of a so called civilized American society. No common sense or a hint of trying to be community. Just horrible. I get more sick of being an American everyday.
It is always a good idea to be nice to neighbors as much as possible and use kindness and not anger.

The boat home owner is legally responsible for the removal of that hazardous tree. If the tree had broken in the storm and fell without warning or prior knowledge then that is a different situation. I've been an arborist for 40 plus years, and have been to court on several occasions with people like the boat guy. The court will not rule in boat guys favor because as a property owner, he is responsible for the safety and upkeep of his land, and anything that extends over the property line. Boat guy is a negligent dope and a lousy neighbor.
You are very correct in your observations. The hazard trumps other details
This is what I honestly can't comprehend - how can one's neighbor's tree that unexpectedly falls on your property (for example in a storm) end up being your own liability? I mean, said tree wasn't ever your property to begin with. Am I just dense, or too tired, I just don't understand. This from someone who just paid them big bucks to have eight dying pine trees along a property line taken down out of caution. Thanks for any insight here!
Pretty much!
Some sharp lawyer could donate his services to the non-profit and sue the neighbor on her behalf for the full cost plus legal fees instead of half the cost of the removal as could have been negotiated with reasonable people. I'd love to see that happen.
The boat owner is probably so up to his eyeballs in debt the even though he knows the tree is his liability he can't afford to pay to have it taken down.
I had a neighbors tree fall on my property. My insurance wanted a deductible. I didn’t want to pay the $500. Brought it to my neighbor. They refused to pay so I brought them to court. I sued for the entire cost of the removal and to repair the fence. Court ordered them to pay because it was their tree. So… in my experience, it’s still your tree even if it falls.
Yes that is exactly correct in most places.
I had a huge Locust tree, and a very large branch came down in a storm crushing my neighbor's fence and damaging my neighbor's roof. The insurance company said it was an "Act of God" and refused to pay my neighbor anything. They never sued me. They rebuilt the fence and the roof themselves.
@@hazelwood55 Their insurance would have covered it. Did they have insurance?
@@loralieisa I am not sure. I think they just paid for materials out of their pockets and did the labor themselves.
@@hazelwood55 I had an act of God happen to one of my trees that landed in my neighbor's yard. I did a quick internet search and found out their insurance would cover the damage, not mine.
I can understand the neighbors concern. Recently our neighbor had a tree removed. The removal company asked if they could park the equipment in our yard to avoid their septic system. We agreed as we have been neighbors for 40 years and they are lovely people. The tree company completely ripped up our lawn, bounced a huge limb off our garage causing roof damage and bounced a large branch off our car causing $2500 in damage.

Shit like this is so sad. I trimmed a tree and my neighbor came out and encouraged me to trim his side(which I didn't yet out of respect from going on his property). I said I would need to get on his roof, he gave me permission so I did. A week later he knocked on my door and insisted on giving me a $100 bill. I tried to refuse, but he's a stubborn old man and wouldn't let me go inside until I took the money. He's a freaking sweet old man. Nice neighbors are a blessing.
Great story, thanks
YOu too are a great neighbor.
@@ruthwest1459 No, YOU are a great Neighbor.
When everyone tries to make things good then everyone wins.
I am dyslectic and just awake, my brain switched the words "me" and "giving" (before the: "a $100 bill.") It confused me and it took an embarrassing long time before I got it xD
But yes, a neighbor you love to have!

Right, probably trying to collect insurance payout if tree falls on it. But this tree is his responsibility. Lazy moron.

The tree owner is a perfect example of what society is becoming. No one takes responsibility for their problems, or actions. Stand up and pay the rest of the tab to remove your tree.
Agreed if the neighbor was a decent human being . This guy might have given him a few bucks off to take the whole thing down.

Unfortunately alot of us have been in this situation, I have a medium tree about 4 to 5 metres in height, it's an evergreen tibochina, beautiful purple flowers picked from the council list of non offensive species. But still the neighbour hacks at it. If she left it alone it would grow high enough not to be problem. It's not shading anything, their entire yard is concrete. Some people are just plant intolerant.
imagine having a neighbor so nice they are paying to have YOUR tree cut down from their property side as it's clearly a hazard, then coming out and complaining to the professional company they hired AND PAID to do the job....

Here in the UK, if a tree's root & trunk are on your land & it falls on your neighbour's property, then you are 100% responsible for any damages.
Oh & any part of that tree which extends onto a neighbour's property is also the responsibility of the tree owner but it CAN be cut back to the property line & any subsequent issues are solely the responsibility of the tree owner, including said tree's death.
Maybe we should be more like the UK?!?!?
@@GameofTrees exactly my thoughts. One rule, no exceptions. Then everyone knows the deal.
The neighbor either wanted you to take his tree for free or doesn't like the sober-living house next door. What a "Richard."
LOL, yeah Richard Cranium

He complains about the rest of the tree being a hazard yet parks his boat directly under it. I swear I am so glad to be a country boy living in the country. That way I can stay away from the big cities where life gets complicated. Nothing worse than a difficult, nosey neighbor. If that was any kind of good neighbor, they would split the cost 50/50 and be done with it.

Great diplomacy guys. Dealing with fools is never fun. You guys did a good job.

The home owner can legally force the neighbor to cut down his tree that is dangerously hanging right over his house. The guy with the boat should be happy the guy next door is happy to pay for removing the dangerous hazard.
Nope, you have to cut it at the property line
I'm surprised that there is not some legality that obliges the owner of the tree to do something about it when it is that hazardous to other people. That is the same as other negligent offenses.
@@kenthomas4668 Depends on the state we went through this a few years ago with a neighboor next door to my mother. Part of the tree had already broken off and damaged her roof. The city arborist had to come and declare the tree a hazzard- the city deemed it need to be removed at the neighbors cost or he would be fined each day it remained standing
@@trader025 yeah it does. In that case though it had already clearly become a hazard and had caused damage. Not convinced this tree is a hazard. Neighbor could certainly cut what is hanging over his property but not force the neighbor to remove the tree
@@noahcarver6072 here in Washington state, if you notify the property owner in writing that a tree is a hazard, from that point on they are responsible for damage that the tree does.

They want everything for free.
We just won a 2 1/2 year lawsuit with a neighbor whose leaning drive way wall tilted far into her driveway and consequently shifted our concrete steps, sidewalk and dirt away from our home. We live in a cul-de-sac. She refused to the very end to admit there was an issue even tho all damage was evident. We won and her insurance company paid. She also had a tree that threatened our home. When we complained, she would taunt us by trimming her other trees and not the one threatening our home. What a Karen. But once we won lawsuit, had our attorney send letter to her about tree, she caved and was down in one week. Owning a home is a major responsibility and if you are not prepared to
Fulfill that responsibility please do us all a favor and rent!
You have so much patience sir. You explained it to the couple I don’t know how many times and they don’t listen! My condolences.
What a nasty neighbor. He’s just trying to get a free tree removal. “I’m just saying” is always the beginning of a debate with a d head.
If someone was paying to take half MY tree down, I would be doing anything I could to help out. At least move the boat!
i think the guys concern was genuine. Those trees were connected via the root systen. If one set of roots die, the other will be compromised. As a contractor, I would have walked away from that job, but first try to talk that guy into taking the entire tree down.

“Let us raise a standard to which the Wise and Honest can repair, the rest is in the Hands of God.” George Washington
When I first moved into my house, I noticed a 70ft oak in the back that had split in the middle. It had heavy branches still on one side that would have taken out my neighbors backyard garage with his Model A and classic car inside...so I immediately trimmend off that branch. A few years later I noticed a woodpecker in the damaged area 35ft up and rented a 50ft boom to trim all the other branches that were a concern to lighten the load. I used to climb and cut, but at 62 I have money. Money is better. The neighbor helped with all the trimming and really appreciated that we were protecting his property. We're friends with the neighbors and they are worth the $500 it cost for the boom rental.
As a former police officer, I can tell you that the guy was full of it. The police didn't tell him all that hogwash. It's a civil matter and that's more than likely what they told him. I know for sure that cops don't like getting involved in those things because we can be dragged to court on it when we're already in court enough and held to some degree reliable or made out to be the butt if we tell them something inaccurate. We know criminal law not civil unless a civil law directly affects our jobs we're not trained on it.
I would think it is a city/county issue. In our county the inspector would deem it a dangerous tree and the homeowner would be responsible for removing it. If he refuses the county removes it and slaps a lean on the house.

The people who paid to have the tree removed should sue the neighbors for the removal fees.
They could easily win in small claims court. The tree belongs to the neighbor but grows into their yard, creating a hazard. The neighbor is on video complaining about how the arborist can't cut their tree. Smh
I don't think he would win. He did what he was allowed to do which was cut the tree at the property line. You can't make your neighbor cut down an entire tree just because a branch comes over your property line.
@@rogersmith7808 the broken tree was creating an imminent hazard so removal of the tree was needed to prevent any additional damage or injury. Had the tree actually broken down and landed on the garage then the garage owner would have been liable for the damage to their property and removal of the broken tree. In this case I'd bet the arborist donated his time and labor to the non profit and by doing so the boat owner didn't have to pay for the removal. He actually did the boat owner a big favor by not billing him for the removal.
It's OK everyone. He already cut one tree down. No more obligation. 🤣
@@jti2007 Do you know a lot about these things? I have a neighbor with an obviously dying tree , it branches across and over my house. but if I remove the limbs over my property line there is still lots of weight that would make it fall my way, on my house. The neighbor is a jerk like the boat owner and wont let me pay to remove it and says it is fine. My arborist that trimmed everything but that tree because he was throwing a fit even about trimming to his property line. My arborist said it is dying and is a hazard and will fall someday. Is this something I could go to the city with and get the tree condemned? Which would make the tree owner responsible for the removal before damages? or if not removed responsible for the damage it causes? Cause I know if it falls on my house it is my damage ,my insurance and possibly my injury.
You were very patient dealing with that guy. Maybe you should have billed him for your time advising him. Even if he was too dumb to listen. :)
Your property, your tree, your liability. If your stuff damages a neighbors property, you are responsible.

@@RandomFandom1 if the tree is his responsibility, why are the neighbors worried so much about it? The neighbors hired a fly by night tree cutter to cut down another man's tree?

I could have sworn his said "the other three arbornists" 🤣
I gotta believe these types of neighbor to neighbor tree disputes happen all the time. Happened to me 20 years ago when a new neighbor moved in next door and demanded that I cut the branches from my huge oak tree that were overhanging his lot. I had done my homework on the issue and told him to feel free to trim whatever he wanted from the tree as long as it was over his property line but since the tree was not diseased or otherwise a danger, I was not obligated take care of or pay for the removal of branches hanging over his yard. He has someone come out to trim the branches and told the tree service company that I said it was OK to trim the branches all the way back to the trunk - 10 feet on my side of the property line. I of course disavowed them of that notion and they were aware of the local ordinances and laws and had no problem with it. they dropped a rope from the branch onto the marked property line below and then stayed 6" on the other side of that line on all the branches they trimmed. When the neighbor came home and saw what was (and was NOT) done, he had a fit. Eventually he sued me in small claims court in an attempt to get me to pay for the work. Of course he did not prevail and I pasted the court's verdict on my window facing his kitchen window..
That’s why I’m not too concerned about getting sued. Many who try, abort the process, and many who don’t end up wishing they had.
The kitchen window thing was a nice touch... 😏😅👍☘

If either tree causes damage, it will be the angered neighbor who will be responsible for making good for damage. Especially if the neighbor believed there was a danger to property.
Call the town building inspector if the tree is fractured and windstorm damaged and it is in danger of falling onto your home or garage.
Once you drag the building inspector into the issue more than likely the owner of the property where the tree sits will likely have to take down the entire tree. Not only could the tree owner be held financially liable if his clearly damaged tree falls down and damages your property, but the tree owners can also held 'Criminally Negligent' and fully responsible if the 'known' hazard that exists on their property causes physical harm to anyone.
ya i would be very curious what the city would have said if they were called out
