We have 4 large pines that we planted years ago to give us privacy from neighbors. The trees are planted on our property but branches do hang over neighbors back yard. I understand that he has the right to trim the tree branches that are on his property. But he came onto our property and trimmed them all the way to the trunk 5 feet off the ground. We had trimmed them on our side because they grow beside our driveway. does he have the right to come onto our property and cut them that far back? Why not just cut off what was over his property?
