Default Re: Palm Tree Damage to Cinder Block Wall ?

I wish you well, and they are just crap ugly palms anyway!
Hello,

Much of the info is definetly not what I want to hear but I THANK you much for all this info. In your drawing it shows a more drastic height difference between our and his ground level as well as the height of the wall. The wall is much heigher but I get the point. Now the other thing is that like I mentioned more of his palms are pressing along our wall (by this I mean it is a wall between both our properties so I dont feel it is only our wall) and these trees are clearly cracking the walls from the pressure over the years. Now we have only been here only 4 years and when we moved in, we noticed the wall slowly cracking. Also, the wall went up after earthquake and the neighbor actually wanted the wall to be built heigher then allowed for privacy. So the wall is not to code anyway. We where not involved then. He planted trees too close to wall and so I feel that it is not our fault. Yes, it can get ugly and of course we dont want that but he was aware of the problem most likley before we moved in. Even the gardener told him. Well, if I have anymore questions, I hope you can assist. For now, yes, I am looking into the other things, arborist etc., and we go from there. Let me read through this again as well. THANK YOU!
