Tree Trimming Rights and Responsbilities

10/9/2018

 
Tree trimming is one of the most basic responsibilities of people who have trees in their property. Whether you own a house, a business establishment, or a vacant lot, it is both your right and responsibility to keep your trees properly trimmed. You can choose to do it on your own, but it is best to hire a tree service in Allentown to get the job done right. Regardless of what path you choose for trimming, there are some basic guidelines you should follow. Here are some things you should do to ensure your trimming job is done right.
 
Learn About Your Rights 
If the tree grows within your property, you have full right and responsibilities to take care of it. You have full responsibility for the portions of your tree, including the leaves and branches that fall from it. You are fully responsible for trimming and clearing it in whatever way you like. However, if the tree is growing between property lines, you might need to talk with your neighbor about it. The final action plan depends on whatever agreement the two parties strike about the tree that splits their property.  However, in most cases you can independently trim the portion of your neighbor's tree that overhangs your property.
 
Trees Growing Over a Street 
There are special rules to consider if your tree’s growth actually a few feet away from the street. In some cases, prompt action is necessary, especially if there’s threat of hitting public property, such as light posts and power lines. However, you shouldn’t take action right away, as it is possible that maintenance trimming and pruning for such tree is the responsibility of the town’s public works department. Before proceeding with tree trimming, inquire with your local public works department.
 
Insurance and Liability
Keep in mind that trees growing within your property are your full responsibility. In other words, if they cause damage for whatever reason (a branch or the entire tree itself falls into your neighbor’s property), it is your responsibility to compensate for damages. This is why it is smart to get insurance to cover expenses for such situations. The good news is that as long as you properly trim your plant, the odds of such scenarios happening are not that big. Still, it’s best to be prepared for such situations.
 
Tree trimming should not be that complicated if you play within the rules and you keep your trees well-groomed.  If you need help in keeping your trees trimmed, you can contact us today for more info.
