<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Candara","sans-serif";color:#17365D">We treat hedges and any boundary trees between residential properties as civil issues – strictly between neighbours. If people want their hedges maintained at a certain height,
they need to discuss with their neighbours to come to an agreement and can either hire an arborist together or do the work themselves.

by-law may have some requirements for the maintenance of landscaping. Does Mission have a Property Standards by-law in place?<o:p></o:p></span></p>
