My concern is that it won't be pretty. My preferred solution would be to symmetrically cut down the entire tree to a much smaller size to prevent that it looks like s*** once I am done with it. It would be the best outcome for everyone in my view but as there is no neighbor, I cant really ask whether I can access his property to trim it down neatly. As pointed out by a PP, the tree really invades quite a bit of space outside of this neighbor's property line. It is not only butted against my house but also covers almost half of the yard of another neighbor.  If I just chop it from my side it will be definitely noticeable and a far cry from pretty.

I understand that.  Keep in mind, depending on the tree, it may grow right back to it's same size, or bigger within a year.  I have two flowering trees in my front yard and I trim them as you've described every 5 years or so.  It actually spurs a lot of new growth when i do that and they end up even bigger.[/quote]
