Establish the boundary
A hedge can obscure where one property ends and another begins. Use reliable ownership information and ask for clarification where needed before authorizing work. Photographs are useful for discussion but do not establish a legal boundary. Identify whether access to either side depends on a neighboring owner.
Agree on the intended change
Discuss pruning, removal or retention with an appropriate landscape or wildfire professional. Explain privacy needs, existing maintenance agreements and access limits. If more than one owner is involved, keep the approved work and the responsible contact clear. A general conversation about preparedness is not permission to work on another person’s land.
Define the application limits
Show WTG the approved boundary and any work expected before treatment. Identify plants or surfaces to exclude and where equipment may operate. If the hedge plan remains unresolved, keep that area pending rather than assuming it belongs in the application quote. A defined boundary makes both the proposal and completion record more useful.
