What does the HOA say?

You cannot touch your neighbors tree. You cannot prune it, grind the roots, sever roots, etc. per Louisiana law. You are better off removing the concrete drive and installing a flexible paving system like interlocking pavers that can be re-installed if they move or gravel.

do not know what liability you may have for cutting the root system on the tree. I know with branches you can trim them if they’re on your side of the proper line.
Not anymore, was changed several years back

I prefer trees to people...people like you especially

That oak tree is the nicest thing about Baton rouge. Don’t you dare damage that tree, you barbarian.

Spray him with a waterhose next time you see him...

Climb up one night and carve “Robert E Lee was here.”
Then report it to your local SJWs and they’ll come destroy it since that’s their bag.

Having a cement driveway is trashy.
Right OT?

You are right. That is the new law starting this year.
Moreover, I found out that if you do anything to the tree, like trimming roots despite getting the owner's consent, and ended up hurting the tree, it is your liability.
I didn't know the type of tree that was there when I built my house. Never realized that would be a problem down the road.
I appreciate the various reasonable perspectives posted. However, I find some posts with ugly comments were totally uncalled for.

A 55 year old oak tree?

Not like they have a distinct look or drop acorns or anything.

quote:It was smaller then, without much branches overhanging the driveway and dropping acorns. It looked nondescript then, very much unlike the fully grown oak tree with far reaching limbs. I have to admit I did not know that much about trees. In retrospect, had I known about it, should have avoided putting a driveway there.

Man, you sound like a huge douchebag. World doesn’t revolve around you and no one cares about your driveway.

Glorious 75 year old oak>your driveway.
Deal with it.
Deal with it.

Now, there is another twist to the story.
The same neighbor decided to plant two cypress trees approximately 6 feet from my property line 4 years ago. Now, multiple cypress knees are popping up along my driveway, as well as in my planting bed at the end of the driveway up to 18 feet from the tree. Cypress knees are known to break driveways, and A/C concrete pads. Should he do something to mitigate or avoid damages to the neighbor's property? In this setting, I believe he planted the wrong kind of tree too close which can be problematic.
