How tall can fir trees be in your garden before the neighbours complain?

Question

6ft or smallier or leave alone.

Answer 1

As tall as you like so long as they do not block the light into the neighbouring property - mine are 20ft tall - but they do not affect my neighbours light.

His are 10 ft taller than mine - again they do not affect my light

Answer 2

I think a new law says 6ft if it is the border

Answer 3

legally i dunno, but as soon as it starts to affect their light,they may get antsy

Answer 4

As a garden designer we advise clients that when evergreen boundaries reach a height of 6ft neighbours can complain to the local council and insist you trim them.  Neighbours can also hack away at them if they overhang their land - but they do have to give you the clippings back!!!!!!
