You can pay for someone to do that, but it's on your dime...the other property owner is NOT responsible for your side of the line either....

I googled law re encroaching trees and the person that is responsible for cutting roots on your own property(namely you) is liable if say the tree falls down subsequently and causes damage.
I would contact this knucklehead, recalcitrant idiot and advise him of the situation and what you want done. If he does not respond then I would threaten him with a lawsuit which would be way more expensive for him.Don't get angry but just use a matter of fact tone. Be firm and fair.
