I was away on business and I arrived home to find that my neighbour has cut away all the branches on my Juniper trees along his driveway to about the height of 10 feet. The trees actually now look like Q-tips stuck in the ground. He has denuded most of the lower trunks. He did not ask us to prune the trees or ask our permission to do it himself. I planted those trees almost 20 years ago as a barrier between the two properties. Now it looks horrible and I suspect the trees will slowly die, although junipers are very hardy. I live in Quebec. I am very upset that these trees have been destroyed, what recourse do I have?

When I saw him doing this I told him that those trees were on my property. He answered that he was just cutting a few branches. I told him that he had cut the branches so far back, actually digging into the trunks and the trees look extremely ugly. He did not respond and continued gathering up the branches. I went out and took pictures of the trees and the pile of branches he has left at the curb.
