I don't know the right thing to say as they seem very friendly and I do not want them to think I am being rude, I would pay for it to being done. Any advice would be helpful, thanks, Maureen.
the tree could be protected which would mean,indipendently of what either party may want that it could not be cut down.
in that case be careful as there could be hefty fines involved.
i wanted only to lop lower branches off a huge tree on our land which interfered with other things the forestale arrived and didn't even want that
so it could well not even involve your neighbours...if it's an oak tree it's even more probable that there's not a lot you can do.
