My neighbor has cut into the roots of my other neighbors magnolia tree. My house and garage sits under this tree and I’m worried about the health and structural integrity of it. Do you think this should be a concern for me? I don’t own the tree but neither does the neighbor that has cut it.

The tree is theirs. The bananas are physically in my yard. I’ve apparently been chosen by the banana distribution system.

I need some serious help and opinions.

My wife and I recently purchased a home in Nampa Idaho. We haven’t moved in yet but are slowly getting there, making stops at the house throughout the week.

I just got into town after being gone for THREE DAYS and thought i’d drop off my new lawn mower and found that our Giant, beautiful, healthy, old tree was cut down.

After making a million phone calls to the city, police department (city said to file a report) power company, realtor, previous owners, etc, We have now learned that a large and reputable tree service company in the area received an online service request to have this tree removed from MY PROPERTY. We found out which company, they admitted to it, and said that somebody (Not us) authorized them to come onto MY property and remove this big ass tree from the middle of my yard…. VIA EMAIL. AND… THEY REFUSED TO DISCLOSE WITH MY WIFE THE CONTACT INFORMATION OF THIS PERSON

All I really have to say is what…the…fuck…

In what world does a contractor come to your house and provide a service (an expensive service i’d image due to them bring a fucking crane and closing down the road for a few hours) without even speaking to a human or actually meeting the owners of the house in person??

I can’t even order fucking door dash without showing them my god damn passport but these guys can come remove a tree because somebody emailed them asking them too?

Previous owner mentioned his tree guy said it was a new type of scam. Police thought that was an absurd claim, but they now believe this to be more likely after they spoke with the tree service company themselves. The phone number for the guy who requested these services wasn’t even fucking real.

I am absolutely heart broken and feel so violated. That tree was the only thing giving the house any character or charm and now it’s gone because a contractor did not do their due diligence.

Do I have a case here? What do I do? File a claim with their insurance or do I lawyer up??

Hello, I am new to the subbreddit and not actually sure where to ask this question as it is not technically about tree law, but I work in a dealership and we have a tree growing in the middle of the parking lot and is surrounded by pavement and the company is planning on re-paving the entire lot by next year, so I wanted to know how difficult it would be to move a tree and re-plant it somewhere safe and is it possible to do it on my own or would I require professional help any advise would be helpful
