Our neighbor's pine tree drops an enormous amount of pine needles in our front and backyard - the sap is damaging our roof the exterior paint on our vehicles and the swimming pool. They also have a large tree in their backyard where the branches now rub up against the outisde of our home. We have asked them if they could trim their trees and they say it is too expensive. Do we have any legal recourse? Thank you.
