We have some large-ish trees on the other side of our garden fence. They're right up against our fence, in a little strip of earth a couple of feet wide, which runs alongside the pavement.
We weed this wee bit and keep it tidy, but the trees are starting to need cut back, and as they're not technically in our garden, we're not sure if they are our responsibility or not (we've only lived here two years so it's the first time it's come up!).
How would we find out? Would it be in our deeds? Would the council be able to tell me? I'm hoping the council will have to come and deal with them, as I've just been quoted £300 for the job and we're skint!
Any advice welcomed! Thanks for reading about such a dull topic...
