If a tree is growing within the boundary of your property, you are considered the owner of it and have a responsibility to ensure it is well-maintained and kept in a safe state. You have a responsibility to ensure it does not cause damage or injury to people or property as far as reasonably possible. You can do this yourself or call in a tree specialist.
This means you need to take reasonable
steps to ensure it remains healthy. If your tree overhangs into your
neighbour’s garden, they have the right to remove the overhanging branches.
Typically, they will then return the branches to you as the rightful owner.
One way to ensure your trees are kept
healthy is to hire a tree specialist
to lop them or assess them. If a tree is a potential hazard, often the best
thing to do is arrange to have it moved. This can result in a stump that also needs to be removed to
prevent it from being dangerous, unsightly, or a place for disease to spread.
For tree stump removal in Glasgow, call MT Tress.
