Not poster either. I know a bit about tree law in the USA. Neighbors have a right to trim (they must do it, unless the tree is obviously diseased.)any part of a tree that comes over their property line. It's a bit more nuanced, but that's basically the law. (I belive the Tree Cutting outfit is suspose to cut the limbs with care. I mean they are not suspose to introduce pathogens from their tools onto your trees. I have Oak trees and worry about their health. I've noticed PG&E is hiring pretty much any out fit to trim trees. They are seemingly untrained. They don't know what that it's not the low voltage lines that are causing the fires? Years ago I noticed they don't seem to sanitize their chain saws. I once, before the fires, asked PG&E to spray a bit of bleach on their tooling through an email. The following day, there was a side show of sanitizer being sprayed everywhere, and they filmed it. I had no inclination of formally complaining. I just thought a quick clean might kill any pathogens. We have a problem in northern CA with Oak trees dying. Oh yea, just because a healthy tree falls from your property and damages your neighbors property; it doesn't necessarily mean you are liable to repair their property. It's more complicated. If a lawyer reads this could you educate me? I ended up just paying my neighbor, who's a lawyer, because a tree healthy tree fell on her property. The tree's trunk truck was 1/2 on the property line. I wasen't feeling good, and didn't want or could afford a fight with a miserable house bound attorney. From my understanding, I probally didn't need to pay anything. (I don't think she had a conversation with anyone without mentioned she passed the bar.)
