Re: Homeowners acn someone help me

Usually the municipality where you live is responsible for the trees, but in most areas, the homeowner is responsible for the sidewalk in front of your house (there are exceptions to this...)

Call your Town or village highway department and ask them about it.

It depends on who owns the trees. I know, the trees in front of my house are owned by the Town and I can't even TRIM them! I'm not sure about the sidewalk but that may be the municipality's responsiblity too - especially if they put it down.
