[quote=Anonymous]We recently moved into a house in Mclean.  In general, most of our neighbors are very friendly.  Unfortunately, our next-door neighbors on one side are very unfriendly.  They also don't maintain the exterior of their home - overgrown grass, junk all over the yard, etc.  This normally wouldn't bother me, but they have a large, dying, ungroomed tree that is hanging over our house (the lots are relatively narrow).  I attempted to speak with them about it, but they literally walked away.  I'm very concerned that the tree could fall at any time and damage our house.  From what I understand, if the tree damages the house during a storm, we will need to seek reimbursement from our insurance company, but if it falls in good weather, we will have to deal with the neighbors' insurance.

I'd prefer to avoid any damage to our house.  Has anyone every been in this situation?  Can I hire a company to trim the branches that hang over our property? It seems ridiculous that I'd have to get the neighbors' permission for this.   [/quote]
