Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Georgia

digging trees on boundary

the boudary to our property has trees planted right along the boarder. (50 + years ago).

i want to dig them up, which will involve using a ''tree spade''. i will fill the holes back in and rake the ground and plant grass seed.

my neighbor wants them for a privacy hedge, yet the trees are on my prop + they need to be thinned.

whose rights apply here?

thanks for all your help.

cordially,

Re: digging trees on boundary

If the trees are totally on your property, you can do whatever you want, as long as you don't do any damage to your neighbor's property.
