Sanborn & Sine is proud to offer the following useful legal information:

In California, you are allowed to trim tree branches which grow over the property line onto your property. But make sure such trimming does not damage the tree or vegetation to be trimmed, does not cause the vegetation to topple over and fall down, and does not substantially affect the beauty of the vegetation. Also, ask your neighbor if your intended trimming is okay with that neighbor. If the neighbor refuses to give you the okay, you should call us to discuss the particular circumstances involved.

No charge for a short telephone conference focusing on your legal needs.
