What is the name of your state? Arizona
A new neighbor has moved in behind me last month and wants to install an outside swimming pool in his back yard. I have two tall 90 trees ~10 feet from the fence line and several of the main branches of the trees are hanging over on his side. He want to trim these tree branches not just to the fence line, but all the way back to the tree trunk. I fear cutting these main branches all the way to the tree trunk will not only disfigure the tree, it might also cause the trees to die. I am really not excited with cutting the branches all the way back to the tree trunk. Even if these branches are removed, when the wind blows there will still be leaves in his pool from the other tree branches. Trimming just several branches will only reduce, not eliminate leafs in his new pool. I feel my trees were there 20 years before his pool, plus the previous owner of his home had no issue with my trees. Matter of fact that owner actually enjoyed my trees.
Any suggestion on how I can compromise with my new neighbor?
