[quote=Anonymous]New neighbor decided to trim the trees along our property line.  First, the crew only cut the lower branches hanging over on his side, which is certainly his right.  I came back about 15 minutes later and they had moved over to OUR side, cutting all the branches that over hang OUR yard.  Those lower branches had provided a nice screen between our house and theirs.  Now we are wide open, with no privacy screen whatsoever.

We confronted the neighbor and told him we were not happy - that he/the crew should have consulted us first.  He tried to act like it was no big deal and said "trees grow back."  We've had these trees for many years.  They don't grow overnight.  He tried to dismiss our concerns when we told him we want a privacy screen there.  He said, "We'll work something out."   :roll:  :roll:

Do we have any recourse here?  Obviously, they can't put the branches back, but are we within our rights to require them to pay for a privacy screen of shrubbery in that area?  TIA.[/quote]
