Trees and the Law

Trees and hedges are one of the most common causes of neighbour disputes. A tree that is one person’s pride and joy can sometimes be a source of worry and frustration to their neighbours. The rights and responsibilities of tree ownership are complex.  

For more information about pruning overhanging branches, encroaching roots, high hedges, and trees that block light, go to the Tree Advice page of the Tree Council of Ireland website.
