Trimming Neighbor Trees? Know the Rules | Aberdeen News

Got a neighbor’s tree invading your yard? You’re legally allowed to trim branches crossing your property line—but you must return the trimmings to the owner or dispose of them responsibly. Don’t mess up the tree; damage could land you liable. Hire a certified arborist with insurance to avoid costly mistakes. And no, you can’t claim fruit or leaves—even if they fall in your yard, they’re still the neighbor’s. Only step in if leaves cause actual damage, like clogged drains, and send a polite heads-up first. Tread lightly, and keep those neighborly vibes alive.
