    Default Trees Over Property Line

    My question involves real estate located in the State of: Pennsylvania

    My neighbor planted a dozen of Maple & other deciduous trees close to or on my property line, meaning 1 is on my property, & 9 are hanging over by at least 5 feet.
    The problem is they are interfering with my Sky Rocket Cedars all of which I have planted 6 feet from the property line in question. I no longer can mulch or maintain my own trees without his trees dangling in my face.
    I have asked him to get them off my land, but he claims it is my responsibility to clear them, he is challenging me to do this for some reason? I no longer want his trees on my property, however what is the law? if I pay someone to do this, yearly, do I have any recourse? I dont want t o be paying yearly to remove his branches.
    When I confronted him 5-6 years ago he said he didn't think I would mind him using the land?

    What are my rights to have the trees trimmed and or removed?

    You may have the one actually ON your property removed. The others, you may trim or have trimmed.

    Then sue him for the costs incurred.
