Height of trees at the property boundary

You are standing too close to the border.

That depends (at least with us in Saxony) on whether it is a border to private or public land. In the latter case, no distance applies.

I definitely agree with the sentiment "leave what is healthy." It is a paradise for all kinds of animals, provides privacy for you, and offers shade.

Good morning,

well, it’s ultimately only about about 8 trees of various sizes on the border, on the rest of the 3000 sqm property there are no idea 100 trees... So I think it makes sense to accept safety over beauty. We stood there again yesterday, the paved path is public ground, but it is a hiking trail that leads to a protected meadow, the trees on the border are very crooked, probably because there is a pond directly there (about 20x20 meters in size, so that after about half a meter the ground slopes down, I could imagine that the ground there is very soft, which caused the trees to grow crooked, practically pushed away by the wind over many years.

I don’t want to be responsible for someone walking there and getting a branch from my trees on their head.

But now it’s the closed season anyway, so we won’t be able to start on it before autumn.

Maybe it’s also good for the pond if more light comes there.

To the back it goes about 100 meters further, but then it merges with the trees of the meadow, there everything stays as it is or can stay as it is.

Let them check if we are really healthy. Not that the next storm will knock down the trees

You still have until Monday!
If you can prove you’re sick, you’re allowed to emergency slaughter a tree.

Yes, that’s true, we still have until Monday... but on such short notice we can’t get a specialist company with a cherry picker etc. to do the felling anymore.

Do it yourself? Yes, I know, some things you just don’t dare to tackle. But sometimes on classifieds there are sole proprietors who do that for a small fee. Sometimes even for firewood. You can also ask in the [Kleingartenverein] if someone does that regularly...
