Tree in garden and neighbours

csgohan4

OP put it the other way round, what would you do if you were the neighbour and you had a tress next door obstructing your side?
Do it amicably or it will only be down from here

1. By man I meant the team who is working in our garden and they went in with their permission and trimmed what they asked as well.

If it's as you suggest - you had permission, your tree surgeons liaised with your neighbs at the time, and the job was completed to what you assumed was everyone's satisfaction at the time, then it looks as tho' the neighb is being a bit cheeky. In which case I think it would be reasonable to tell them "sorry, they'd have done that at the time had you asked, but they now won't be back for at least a year. Feel free, of course, to trim any branches that are overhanging your border and causing you genuine concern..."

That is assuming it is not an 'unreasonable' tree to have there. What is the tree 'like' in your honest judgement?  Is it of a reasonable size? Attractive? Not blocking light or views excessively? If you were the neighb, what would you honestly feel about this tree?

I've always wondered why somebody would plant a tree knowing that it will eventually hang over the fence and it's presented to the neighbour fait accompli. It's the same with cats.

Wait -- you are confused why people get cats because they might one day visit the neighbours' garden? I must've misunderstood

It would have been more sensible for neighbour to speak to you, rather than write, but each to his own. Glad you've sorted it amicably though. The last thing you want is a dispute with the neighbours!
