I wish my neighbors had a nice 75 year old oak tree in their yard. Adds beauty to everyone's homes.
Too many dickheads like yourself just want to cut everything down, just so you have more grass to cut, and above all,have that flat driveway.

So the current LA law is that branches coming across property lines onto a neighbors property can’t be trimmed?

God, I'd hate to have many of ya'll as neighbors.

Correct. The neighbor does not have the right to trim encroaching branches himself. He only has the right to demand that the owner of the tree trim them if they interfere with his enjoyment/use of his property.

Do not worry AOC will be taking away all our autos soon so you will no longer need your drive unless it is for your bike or skate board!

Cut the cypress knees out. I had a big cypress tree in my back yard. Loved the tree and didn’t want to cut it down so I got an axe and a shovel and spent a few hours in the backyard chopping them out. It was an enjoyable afternoon actually.
Too bad the people who bought that house from me proceeded to chop down all the trees for some unknowable reason.

That's some bullshite about the law. How is that not a form of trespassing or whatever it is for non humans?
I would think that it should involve some significance to the tree to enforce that otherwise some dick head neighbor could plant a tree that completely overhangs your yard.
ETA seems you misused that law.

It looked nondescript then, very much unlike the fully grown oak tree
A 55 year old oak tree didn’t look like an oak tree? I have a small oak that’s about 9 months old and I know it’s an oak tree.

Cutting the visible knees is easy, but doesn't solve the problem of knees coming up from under the driveway causing driveway destruction.
All I am hoping is that the neighbor can do something to stop any progression of property damage. I am not litigious, but I do not want to suffer any financial losses just because an inconsiderate neighbor decides to plant some cypress trees that are not meant to be close to any houses, which results in a lot of nuisance, and more importantly property damage to their neighbor. There has to be some accountability and responsibility. I am no lawyer; but I believe he would be liable for structural damages caused by the roots of his cypress trees. I would be OK if he would install a root barrier to stop the process, and the trees do not need to be taken down.
Cypress trees are attractive, and would be better if they are close to some lakes rather than in someone's backyard. I know of people who loved their cypress trees on their lot when they bought the house, just to hate them now because of all the structural damages incurred.

Actually dickheads like you are ones who call other people names when you do not agree with them.
I do like trees. However, I believe something has to be done if something like a tree or other objects start destroying your property to mitigate any further financial losses. Since you sound like a tree hugger, you might as well let trees and roots invade your house, if you have one.

No, you have no claim. Act of God and you also knew of the circumstances long ago. Get a new driveway and when you do it it may possibly kill the tree. Future problems resolved until dead branches start falling on you car.

Killing silently is a tall order, but a quick look at an anatomy chart will show that the larynx is an easy enough target—providing you can make a stealthy submerged approach, sneak up on your victim, and catch him unaware. Once that's accomplished, grasp his hair as close to the scalp as you're able to and yank his head back while using your Ka-Bar combat knife to make a lateral cut across his throat. Make sure you sever both the carotid artery and jugular vein while piercing the windpipe, and press hard; the larynx is a tough, rubbery piece of tissue.

No, I did not know it was a live oak tree when I had my driveway done, nor did I know it would cause a problem. It would be a catch 22 situation if I were to redo the driveway at the risk of stressing if not killing the tree. In that instance I would be liable for up to three times the cost of the tree.
As noted earlier in this thread, the same neighbor planted 2 cypress trees only in recent years close to the other part of my driveway, and is starting to raise havoc to my yard, flower bed and driveway. I do have the right to ask him to do something about it, unless he wants to pay for my damaged driveway down the road.

Next Saturday, take $75, go to Home Depot and rent a hand trencher. Run the machine down the side of your driveway as deep as it will reach and cut the roots that extend under your driveway....problem solved.
Let your neighbor know what you are doing (in case the tree dies) and ask if he has a better idea. If not, carry on.

I have ten live oaks on my property that are approximately 50-60 years old.
Their root systems nearly traverse the entire yard and shade canopy covers nearly 1/2 acre. Not to mention they’ve already pushed up the concrete in places.
If you couldn’t figure that out 20 years ago. I really don’t feel bad for your stupidity.

As I had mentioned before, it was a single seemingly harmless tree (that I hardly paid attention to) when I bought my lot and built on it. There were no uplifted concrete nor driveways anywhere near that tree. So, there was no way I could have foreseen the problems. I may be ignorant (of trees), but certainly not stupid!

We’re still talking about a 50+ year old live oak, right?
