It's ok, the OP hasn't said whether he's planning on living in it, parking it there, or any of the good breadcrumbs to not stray the topic.
Even the wannabe AxMen weren't paying attention as the OP said a couple of the offending trees were on the neighbors lot...
Yeah. That stuck in my craw too. If my neighbor's trees were hanging over into my yard and damaging my stuff, I'd chat with the neighbor and see what we could resolve.
My lemon trees hang over my side wall and I know for a fact that my neighbor has never had to buy a lemon. Everybody seems happy. If the trees bugged them, I'd take care of them (the trees, not the neighbors).
When we bought this house new in the 90s, we all had dirt lots with no improvements. We were the first ones to put in a yard because my wife is in the biz. After we built the planter retaining walls, the neighbor pointed out that part of the curved wall is actually on their side of the line. They were super cool about it, but the wife said that her husband is an attorney and she suggested that he draw up some kind of agreement that would cover it (who knows what that would be). I told her that contracts and agreements make bad relationships, but I'd also be more than happy to get my wife's mason back out to jack out the wall and pour it right. She looked at me like I was nuts, but then she decided that she'd rather be friends than dangle a document over my head. They've since moved away, but we're still thick as thieves 26 years later. Things don't have to be complicated.
