Can you cut your neighbor's vines if they're growing on your side of the fence?

Question

Say, if your neighbor's vines and/or shrubbery is growing on your side of the fence, in your yard, do they have a right to complain about losing property value if you cut it?

Answer 1

Generally, it is expected that you would give your neighbor a chance to do it himself if he wishes. Hopefully, he'll just give you the go-ahead. But, if it's on your property, you have a right to cut it, permission or not. I would try to be as nice as possible about this, though; it's not worth an ongoing battle with your neighbor.

Answer 2

no once the vines are in your property, you can take control of them so just cut them off

Answer 3

Answer 4

Answer 5

you can cut them and in some cases by complaining to the city you can force them to remove them if they are too much of a nuisance, for example, among other reasons.

Answer 6

Yes, but ONLY on your side. Keep in mind, that if this cutting of yours kills his plant, you are responsible. Sometimes pruning a plant the wrong way can kill it.
