On Tue, 28 Apr 2009 19:09:11 -0700 (PDT), against all advice,
something compelled Joe , to say:

My neighbor has had a dead tree in the back of his property for
about a year, last night the wind finally broke the trunk and it
fell a little toward my yard but was stopped by a large oak tree
on my property. I'm worried that it might break apart and fall
when my children are playing in the yard. I need this tree to
come down and I'm worried that my neighbor won't do it. They have
a habit of only doing the kind of maintenance that is absolutely
necessary. How do I approach them to make sure they take care of
this problem? I'm on good terms with this neighbor and I'd like
to take care of this in the most tactful way possible but I get
the feeling they are going to tell me that if I want the tree
down I'm going to have to pay for it myself.


I'm having some weed trees taken down next Friday. It will be
$190 an hour. Were I in your shoes, I'd just get it done.

I guess you could present the bill to your neighbor, say his tree
littered your yard and this is what you had to do to clear it up,
and see what he says. Or you could ask him what he plans to do
about it. Or you could have the work done, and then go see Judge
Judy.





take pictures for evidence.
