The Villages should be responsible for the entire trimming and upkeep. Good luck and what a shame but it's probably something akin to fighting city hall.
I think maybe the Oaks was here long before Europeans descended raping the area. The developers were committed to saving live oaks when they first started developing the area. Even though you don’t own the air above or ground under you’re property you’re responsible for upkeep with in reach.
