Does anyone know if a tree, that stems from the neighbours yard, can be lopped by tree loppers or do they need access to the main trunk?
My neighbour's tree has gotten significantly bigger since I moved here and the branches overhang onto my roof. My main concern is in a storm, the branches snapping and smashing my roof tiles. Secondly, I have a solar powered roof vent which no longer works because of the branches.
I've managed to chop some of the lower branches off but can't get to the higher ones. The house is a rental - I went through the local shire and was given the address of the owners so I sent a registered letter to their address, which was received according to Australia Post, but the owners never bothered responding nor doing anything about the tree.
I went back to the shire who said we don't get involved in things like this. I am happy to pay for a tree lopper to remove the branches but what I want to know is if they need access to the main trunk - which is in the neighbour's yard.
Have you asked the tree lopper? It's almost like they're in the business of lopping trees…
