Clinically Diagnosed with CAD
I have a long stretch of trees across my front field that are very close to the main road (US Highway). Unfortunately they are all ash, therefore, they are all dead. They are close enough to the road that if they blow over, they will fall into the road.
My question is, since they are in the right of way, or very close to it, who is responsible for cutting them down? I don't have a problem doing it myself, but if for some reason, one falls into the road, I will be held liable. The other issue, is that they are not easily accessible, because between them and the road is a very deep drainage ditch. I don't know if it makes a difference, but I am in Ohio.
Should I call the county and have somebody take a look at it?
