Tree and Neighbor Law Consulting Services
Tree and neighbor law is a website designed to serve a wide range of audiences by providing information about legal issues pertaining to trees and shrubs. While trees may make a neighborhood distinctive, provide shade, or add character to a property, they may also disrupt power lines, cross property lines, and cause injury when they fall. The disputes involving trees arise from the tension of protecting the life of the tree and protecting people from the potential harm the tree might cause. These disputes work to shape tree law and alter the liability and future conduct of governments, utilities, and individual landowners. Every state has its own laws and cases that cover tree law and neighbor law. We help people and companies understand their rights and responsibilities with regard to trees and shrubs.
Tree law, or arboriculture law, affects different groups in different ways. Consulting arborists must stay on top of the latest developments in tree law and tree law cases. Providing expert testimony in tree related lawsuits requires a thorough understanding of this field. Urban foresters must balance the ornamental value a tree provides with the liability issues and danger involved with maintaining trees on, or near public property. Utility arborists are responsible for protecting power lines from roots and branches. From excessive tree trimming to the danger of electrocution posed by nearby climbing trees, utility arborists must weigh one form of liability against another. These competing interests are a few of the concerns covered by tree and neighbor law.
Property owners must be concerned with boundary line disputes, overhanging branches, and trespassing problems related to trees. While an old tree can feel like a part of the family, or at the very least, an essential part of the property, it can also pose a danger if it overhangs another property or a public road. You need to understand your rights under existing tree law and neighbor law.
