I started wondering whether I was <a href="https://www.diamondcertified.org/walking-the-property-line-how-to-avoid-neighbor-conflicts-during-home-projects/" target="_self">within my rights</a> to trim some of those branches, given that they’re dangling over the fence and onto my property. Who better to ask than Darren Edwards, owner of Advance Tree Service, Inc.? According to Mr. Edwards, “You may have someone trim your tree without your neighbor’s permission. You’re allowed to go back to the property line. You can’t go over the property line. But so long as it doesn’t damage the tree’s health or integrity.” It’s also a good idea to discuss any <a href="https://www.diamondcertified.org/savvy-consumer-tip-tree-trimming/" target="_self">limb trimming</a> with your neighbor first, just to keep up good relations. As a side note, we also had a neighbor’s tree limbs growing onto our power lines. One call to PG&E and they came right out to remove the ones that might be a safety hazard. <a href="https://www.diamondcertified.org/" target="_self">Use Diamond Certified Resource to find top rated companies.</a> Local, Top Rated Diamond Certified Companies Related to Your Topic <a href="https://www.diamondcertified.org/contra-costa-tree-service/" target="_self">Contra Costa County Tree Service Companies</a> <a href="https://www.diamondcertified.org/marin-tree-service/" target="_self">Marin County Tree Service Companies</a> <a href="https://www.diamondcertified.org/santa-cruz-tree-service/" target="_self">Santa</a> <a href="https://www.diamondcertified.org/santa-cruz-tree-service/" target="_self">Cruz County Tree Service Companies</a> <a href="https://www.diamondcertified.org/sonoma-tree-service/" target="_self">Sonoma County Tree Service Companies</a> <a href="https://www.diamondcertified.org/santa-clara-tree-service/" target="_self">Santa Clara County Tree Service Companies</a>  Related Articles <a href="https://www.diamondcertified.org/Guide/Tree-Services/" target="_self">The Homeowner's Guide to Tree Services</a> <a href="https://www.diamondcertified.org/find-expert-advice/" target="_self">Get Expert Advice From Owners of Top</a> <a href="https://www.diamondcertified.org/find-expert-advice/" target="_self">Rated Local Companies</a> <a href="https://www.diamondcertified.org/membership/" target="_self">Become a Diamond Certified Preferred Member (Always Free)</a>
