What happens if my neighbors tree damages my property?

If your neighbors tree damages your property, your insurance will cover the damages and debris disposal costs. It is considered an act of god.

However, if there is a tree that concerns you or you think poses a high risk of damaging your property if it falls then you should call us for a tree risk assessment. If the arborist finds the risk to be moderate-high, the report can be delivered to the tree owner. Once there is evidence that the property owner is aware of the risk or hazard, the liability can be transferred and the tree owner will be negligent.
