Neighbors dead tree fell over fence into our yard
Hi our neighbors tall dead tree fell over the fence into our yard yesterday during high winds. It partially crushed our new fig grapefruit and lime trees. Amazed the fence is still standing. Hopefully the plants survive, my wife’s bummed out as the plants were growing nicely after we planted a month ago.
A different neighbor offered to cut up the overhanging branches and the trunk’s weight tilted back on their side. Their contractor friend removed the branches for $200 so our dogs wouldn’t poke their eye out on the branches.
Other than getting our lumberjack a bottle of whiskey our neighbor should pay for the tree removal and any fence damage? We’ve tried knocking on their door several times but no one answers.
Really lucky it didn’t hit our house and the dogs weren’t outside.
Thanks!
