[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is this a tree or a large shrub? It sounds like you’re talking about very low branches if they’re interfering with people walking by.

It is something like this https://detrichpix.typepad.com/.a/6a00d83452606269e20111688d9f66970c-popup
Thin branches and spreading very wide. The branches are not interfering with walking through the alley. They are hanging over a fence. The reason I want to cut it all the way to his fence is that right now the tree blocks all the natural light to my living room. Cutting it just to our property line might not entirely solve this issue, but will at least help with keeping our gutters clear. I will go for some level of trimming either way, but I wanted to understand how far I can cut without creating grounds for a legal dispute. I cant find any clear answer on what are the rules for branches over a public space. Can the neighbor seek compensation if I cut the branches overhanging the alley but stop at his property line? That is what I am trying to understand. [/quote]
