What is the name of your state?California
As part of a huge remodeling project, our neighbors have decided they want to cut down the hedge that borders our front yard (facing their driveway). Their contractor's survey suggests (though it's not completely clear) that the trunks of the hedge are on their side of the property line. Part of the hedges (the growth; possibly not the trunks) are clearly on our side.
We are thinking of hiring our own surveyor, but it's $900. If the trunks are on their side of the property line, are we out of luck? Removing that line of hedges will ruin the "cosy" look of our front yard, which is bordered by the hedges on all sides. We also resent having to pay for re-landscaping on our side just because they don't like our hedge.
To make things worse, even though we told them we don't want the hedges removed, they failed to stop their contractor and he already cut three of the trunks through. The rest are still standing while we research this issue.
Thoughts?
