When Can I remove branches from a tree?



Many people who want to remove tree branches also want to know the best time of year to take on this job. There is never a bad time to remove branches that are dead, damaged, or diseased. If the branch is healthy but simply note desired, then the best time of year to remove a branch is middle to late winter. https://www.thelocaltreeexperts.com/ can help you do this.

By removing a tree branch during a period of dormancy, this will lead to improved growth when the water starts to warm. Also, the lack of leaves during the winter months makes it easier to identify and reach any branches that need to be removed. It may be easier to identify branches that need to be removed in the fall season but wait to do the work until the cold weather hits.

Is It Legal to Remove a Tree Branch?
If the tree is on your property, then you can legally remove any branches. In fact, you have a legal obligation to keep your trees in good shape and prune them to prevent dead branches from falling into your neighbor's yard. If the tree is located in your neighbor's yard but the branches hang over your property, you can still do some pruning. You have the right to trim any branches that extend pas the property line but you can only cut to the property line.



How Much Does It Cost To Remove a Branch?
There are a number of factors that affect the cost of branch removal. While the average cost ranges from $129, you can find prices ranging from $59-750. The two primary factors that affect the price include the obstacles and size/height of the branch. If the branch extends over power lines or challenging to reach, you should expect to pay a higher price. Additionally, the size and the height of the branch itself makes this a more challenging and time-consuming project.

Can I Cut My Neighbor's Tree Branches?
In general, it may not be ideal to cut the branches of a tree whose trunk is located on your neighbor's property. Even if most of the tree hangs onto your property, the location of the trunk determines who owns it. However, you do have the right to trim any branches that extend over the property line but only up to the property line. With this pruning though, you may not go onto the neighbor's property or harm the tree.

Can My Neighbor Sue Me For Trimming His Tree?
Although you can trim branches that extend over your property, it's important to avoid harming the tree or upsetting your neighbor in the process. For this reason, if having your neighbor's tree branches trimmed, then you'll want to use an expert service. Having a professional who won't cause damage to the tree will help avoid any lawsuits.

Who Pays?
Local tree rules vary depending on your area. The issue of paying typically comes down to if the branches are a hazard. If you don't like the branches and don't want them hanging over your property, you may have limited options. Check out local ordinances to determine if your neighbor has an obligation to trim his own branches. If the branches that extend over your property appear damaged, diseased, or hazardous, then your neighbor may have an obligation to pay for their trimming. For example, branches that hang over power lines or could fall onto your roof should be removed with the cost covered by your neighbor.

Who Is Responsible for the Waste?
In general, leaves and twigs that fall on your yard are considered to be a natural product. Even if the leaves cause damage such as clogging gutters, you don't have any legal claims against the tree's owner. If the branches are not harmful and you pay to have them removed on your property, then you are also responsible for the cleanup. If your neighbor is obligated to have the branches removed due to unsafe conditions, then he or she will also pay for the cleanup.

What is the Best Time of Year for Branch Removal?
Like previously mentioned, any dead or diseased branches should be removed promptly, regardless of the year. However, for branches that may be undesirable but healthy, winter is the best season. This allows for easier removal and also sets the tree up for improved growth in the springtime.
