- Can I cut back my neighbours tree? You can cut back overhanging trees to your boundary, each case is different and would need to be assessed, access may need to be gained to your neighbours trees.
- Can my tree cause subsidence? Yes trees can cause subsidence, every tree will vary due to its location and soil in which is growing on.
