im gonna have to build a fence soon because one in back is falling down. built many just hopefully the neighbor wont be an asshat and not pitch in on material.

trees!

They take to long to mature. And the property line is crazy. I had trees taken down due to Mold on my shingles due to trees.

Trees = great shade but not for fence purposes. Arborvitaes would die in the location due to lack of sun light.

Dipshit neighbor has leaves piled up in a 4 foot pile right next to property line, he's being a jack ass to get me to build/buy a fence. Leaves are molding and causing issues. Gonna toss a light cigarette in to em one of these days.

Not that it can't happen as is from traffic and kids that walk past the house. Have insurance so not all that worried.

Probably call the health dept.

Have I spoke with him? YES on numerous occasions. He's mad about a decision to limb his tree we made together. He wanted portion over just roof, I had an arborist do it right. Limb it to tree with less than 4 inches sticking out so tree doesn't bleed out. One of his has already fallen on my house.

"He's mad about a decision to limb his tree we made together"
i don't get it? you split costs on fence with neighbor and build it, what's so hard?

FENCES
The boundary line fence fell down in a recent storm. Who is responsible?

Good neighbors will agree on splitting the cost of the repair. Civil Code §841 requires that owners contribute to maintain fences between them, unless one of them chooses to let his land lie unfenced; if he later fences his property, he then is responsible for payment of a proportional share of the value of the fence.


TREES
1)"My neighbor's tree overhangs my property. What are my rights?"
Traditionally, a property owner had full right to all of his property, from the center of the earth to heaven. This made sense at the time of the Magna Carta when British common law began, but has been sensibly limited with the advent of airflight.

Although you may cut tree limbs and remove roots from your neighbor's tree where they cross over the property line, you cannot do so if it will damage the continued viability of his tree.

2)"The recent storms knocked down my neighbor's tree limb onto my property, causing damage to my house/car/lawn furniture."

Whether the tree limb had overhung the property does not matter. The neighbor is only responsible for negligence: If he was careless, he is responsible; if the damage was from an act of God, the neighbor is not responsible.

If a tree limb appeared precarious and the owner failed to maintain the tree after warnings, he is responsible for resulting damage when a storm causes the limb to fall. If the tree was well maintained and a storm knocked it down onto your roof, the neighbor is not responsible.

3) His tree has grown wider, encroaching onto my property [or pushing aside my fence].
This is a continuing trespass and the neighbor must remove his tree (regardless of how long it has been encroaching).

[A boundary tree is one planted on the boundary. It cannot be removed without mutual agreement.]

4) His leaves keep blowing onto my yard. And they blocked my gutters causing damage to my house. Tough. There is no liability for leaves which are natural products. [Common law developed in an agrarian society.]

Because He won't contribute not only that we have a conflicting idea of where the property line is.

Town survey is not accurate.

I know this. Some of these issues leaves could care less I use them as compost. But when I have to put a ladder up to clean my gutters out and he gives me crap as the base is on his land well I have an issue with that.

Last year the dipshit planted bambo which is a very invasive species and it thrived here. Spent numerous hours ripping it out if it crossed the imaginary plane.

The tree falling was an act of god but when I was cutting it up he said the timber belonged to him so to prevent a call to local cops I just kept what had cross the line I burnt it that summer as bond fire material.
