He's stated multiple times that he's willing to pay for it but the problem is she wants to be included on the contract without paying for anything. He would be stupid to agree to anything like that.

He could just pay the $850, but he's cheap so he wants her to pay half. If he paid a little more money, the issue would be over with already.


This is not what he stated.

It 100% would solve the problem. He would no longer have trees touching his house.


This would not solve the problem. Removing a piece of a branch from just "touching the house" isn't fixing the issue.

how is it a problem? she has no jurisdiction over his contract with a tree guy. No matter what, both fareplay and treetrimmer are liable for damages to her property if something were to occur. she cannot stop fareplay from proceeding other than the part of maybe needing to be on her property to access tree.

Yes she does, because the tree guy needs permission to go on her property to remove the branch. As he has stated, multiple times, professionals have told him they cannot fix the issue without climbing her tree. She's withholding permission and demanding to be included on the contract before giving it. OP is quite literally at the point where legal action is inevitable whether he starts it now or she does later.

Somehow the OT pros here think they know more than the multiple professionals he consulted for a quote.

Thanks yes

Guys I don’t care about the 850, it’s the fact that most of these tree trim companies don’t like dealing with a picky neighbor and her requesting documents with her included and not giving access to the tree that’s frustrating.

Multiple companies said roof isn’t an option and that access to the tree is needed. I doubt the baws here have a tree trimming business so I’ll take their advice

“So let's go the other direction, if you struck oil anywhere in your backyard would that be all yours? Your responsibility, your earnings?”


Depends… do you own mineral rights along with surface rights.. if not you would be stealing others property. …are you depleting the oil that is flowing from the subsurface reservoir that extends beyond your mineral rights .. if so you are again stealing other people’s property.. have you unitized the reservoir before drilling.?? Did you drill within the limit of offset (100-200 from outer edge of lease boundaries )… if so you will be in court again..

Law can be complicated for us novice. .

back when people had character this would never have been a question.

The fact that you are struggling over this is concerning and a sad reality at how many parents failed.

In the 6 hours you’ve spent back and forth in this thread you could have already taken the overhanging branches down.

You are the biggest a-hole on this board. Your posts make me think that you're 12 years old. I sure hope you're a troll. Damn I wish you'd find another board to post your nonsense.

Dude….you’re the problem here.

This thread is a 9 page shitshow because you created an OP presenting her as a sick old woman that you wanted to hold accountable for some damn branches….then you proceeded to sprinkle details across multiple pages of how she was being adversarial towards what was actually reasonable request.

Post better and maybe you’ll get better results.

you can rent a lift and access the limbs on his side of the property accordingly. you don't need to access the other side IMO. may cost more money. the op is a bleeding vagina that thought he was owed diligence by the neighbor to cut his limbs and also claimed all this proof of dryness and negligence. complete dipshit that is no longer owed any common decency.

This seems like a pretty reasonable request. I have no idea what these contracts typically look like, but seems weird to enter her property and shimmy up her tree without mentioning her in the documents?

I’d want guarantees that my property is returned to its original condition, if you want access for maintenance of your property.

Nope. She's already covered if they damage her property. She should just be happy he's cutting her limb for free.

Yall keep trying to make OP the problem, when the neighbor is clearly the problem here.

How? Op is an Aggie. In TX, you are responsible for trimming trees over your property.
