Anyone have experience with getting a neighbor to cut down a tree?

Buy his property. Otherwise, mind your business.

Find some of these.

Nevermind.

I wouldn't think of asking a neighbor to cut down a tree, with one exception. If the tree is diseased or termite eaten and looking like it is going to be a hazard by falling, then I'd approach them.

Now, if the tree has branches on your side of the property, they are fair game and you can cut them all you want, but don't expect your neighbor to like it.

I'd just wait till he goes to work and have a tree company come take down the trees you want gone. Make sure it's all cleaned up before he gets home. Then deny everything when he asks you about it. Or fess up, because it's easier to get forgiveness than permission.

That would be a very expensive route to take, was in an accident that damaged someones trees and the bill for them was pretty stiff as you have to pay actual replacement cost, that would be steep here.

Obviously, I was joking. But seriously... if you are in a accident and somehow you kill their 150 year old huge oak tree (OK, it was a REALLY bad accident) you'd potentially have to pay them what the tree would cost to replace?

I have 5 pines about 50ft on the edge of my property and would gladly let my neighbor pay to have them cut down and stumps ground. I hate the things but I’m to cheap to mess with them.

If your my neighbor come in over and I’ll give you the ok.
