Boundary Trees Belper – Who Is Responsible for Overhanging Branches?

Trees growing close to property boundaries can create complications when branches extend into a neighbouring garden.

The general position

• The tree generally remains the responsibility of whoever owns the land it's growing on
• A neighbour can usually prune back branches that overhang their boundary
• Any cuttings technically belong to the tree's owner

Professional assessment helps establish appropriate work, particularly where there's uncertainty over ownership or condition.
