Tree trespass

    I have a problem id like some advice on

    The school next door to us has very tall evergreen trees on their side of the wall. The trees block all the light on our driveway and every year they shed all these little brown buds on it. We wrote to them and asked them to cut them back and top them a bit but they replied saying that we could do it ourselves if we wanted it done and to just tell inform them when we planned on doing it. The trees use to be quite green but they have cut all the branches below about 10/12 feet so now they look quite bare and dead so if they are topped I dont think there will be very much green left on them. Can anyone tell me our rights here? if we decide to do it ourselves do we have to get rid of the stuff we cut or is that up to them. Alternatively how much is it to have a tree removed by a professional?

    don't quote me on this but I asked a tree surgeon and he said that you can cut what ever is on your property and give to the owner to dispose of.

    I have Leylandi's growing onto my property and they are a pain.

    I couple of litres of diesel into the roots at night would solve a lot of problems :D --only joking .......

    This has become the subject of anti-social behaviour legislation in the UK. Maybe McDowell will follow suit.
