Need Help desperately! We bought a corner lot in a sud-division in Tn. 10 yrs. ago, but last yr. our neighbor passed away and since then a Realty co. has his house up for sale, when we bought ours in the paperwork there was a photo copy of a Survey along with measurement's both with latitude & Longtitude as well as told us the distance of our property in feet from our house as to where the Neighbors property line starts!
For the last yr. a Landscaping Co. hired by the Realty Co. comes about once a month and trims his bushes and has also cuts some of his Trees as well as cuts the Grass.
This morning after i came from Church there were 3 Evergreen Trees about 3 feet high planted in a straight line about 4 feet apart to mark the Property line, problem is the Trees are 5 Feet on my side, but even if they were right on the line, within a couple of yrs. the limbs would be on my side!
I will contact the Realty Co. in the next few days and tell them this, but what is the law as to how close near a neighbors line you can Plant Trees?
I know one is not allowed to have a Pond or Pool within 6 feet of a Fence!
But surely one can not plant a Tree right at the property line, since the Limbs will be hanging over on the Neighbors and Evergreens grow fast and always have limbs from the ground on up.
Where can i get some info on these type of Laws? I been on the net for hrs. but cant find any answer's for my situation and really cant afford a Lawyer!
There is no Home-Owners Ass. in our Sub-division.
Thank You!
