She revealed that she had bought a south-facing property which is known to get the most sun but didn't get the positives from it.
Kelsea said: "Are we crazy for paying to have our neighbours tree cut down? For reference, we have a south-facing garden and we get the sun for the majority of the day but from 2 till 5pm we don't get a single thing.
"This tree completely blocks it all."
While Kelsea knew her decision to cut the tree down would face backlash, she was tired of living with the issue after six years.
She continued: "But after living here for 6 years and basically being in the shade and not being able to enjoy the sun it really bothered me.
"Imagine getting home from work wanting to sit out in the sun. and this is your view," she said as she showed her garden covered in shade.
Kelsea added that she wasn't the only person who disliked the tree and that it affected other neighbours too, in the summer and the winter.
The woman said that during the wintertime the leaves falling off the tree would cover their gardens.
Finally, after years of begging the neighbour they allowed them to cut it down.
She continued: "But after years of asking they did then allow us to cut it down. Which a win is a win. I'm grateful for it."
I hate my new build garden being overlooked so found a 5 METRE privacy fence to block out nosy neighbours for under £30
The clip was shared on her TikTok account @kelseajadex where it went viral with over 298k views and 6,000 likes.
People were quick to take to the comments to share their thoughts.
One person wrote: "The tree was there when you bought your house! That was your choice! You really had nothing to complain about."
Another commented: 'Shame you didn't just have it pruned so shorter branches could still have nests and you would get more sunlight'.
The Top Five Reasons Neighbours Squabble
One study by Compare the Market revealed the top reason British neighbour's argue Broken fences - top of the board was broken fences and whose responsibility it was to fix it Parking: one of the leading drivers of neighbour disputes, with 54.1 per cent of people having issues with people parking in front of their house, parking bay or driveway Trees - complaints about a neighbour's tree cracking your garden path was also common with nearly half of participants finding it frustrating Bin wars - outdoor bin etiquette continues to ignite the most furious debates between neighbours Nosy Neighbours - some people have their eyes and ears at the ready to have a peek causing problems for others
"When did people suddenly decide they hate nature? I'd be so happy to have that big beautiful tree beside me! Go live in an apartment if you hate trees so much! Baffles me," penned a third.
Meanwhile a fourth said: "I'm sure all the people complaining about it being cut down wouldn't want this huge tree in their back garden either."
"I love trees but I would have done the same to be honest,' claimed a fifth.
Someone else added: 'Why did you buy the house if you knew about the tree?"

Highland home where allied World War 2 spies hid out up for sale
Inverlair Lodge once housed members of The Special Operations Executive (SOE), an elite force set up to wreak havoc behind enemy lines in Europe. A secluded Highland property which helped hide Allied spies during World War 2 has been put up for sale. Inverlair Lodge once housed members of The Special Operations Executive (SOE), an elite force set up to wreak havoc behind enemy lines in Europe. However, some agents who were unable to perform their duties on the field, were kept safe at Inverlair Lodge because of the dangerous secrets they knew about the Allied war effort. Dubbed a 'retirement home for spies', the agents lived in the Highland retreat, around 20 miles from Fort William, which was surrounded by British soldiers. The historic property which boasts 30 acres of land is now on the market for offers over £1.35million. Estate agents Galbraith have listed the 18th century house, near Tulloch, nestled amongst a stunning scenic backdrop. The home has six-bedrooms and also includes a separate two-bedroom cottage. It has four reception rooms, garages, kennels and general stores. According to the BBC, Inverlair housed foreign nationals who were part of the SOE during the war. The agents were supervised by British soldiers, were handed a range of tasks to complete including mending boots and salvaging scrap metal. During WW2 it was known as No. 6 Special Workshop School. In interviews with the Imperial War Museum, external, Dundee-born Alfred Fyffe told how he was put in charge of Inverlair for 30 months. Mr Fyfffe told how residents, who included Italians and Dutch, were not supervised but not kept under armed guard. They were even allowed out occasionally to visit Fort William. He said the residents, who included Italians and Dutch, were supervised but not kept under armed guard and were even allowed to make trips into Fort William. The story of Inverlair Lodge and similar SOE properties is said to have inspired the plot to 1960s drama, The Prisoner. Join the Daily Record WhatsApp community!

Winston Churchill was a major backer of the the SOE and the iconic war-time prime minister famously ordered its agents to 'set Europe ablaze'. Guy Ritchie's 2024 action-comedy film The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare took inspiration from the SOE. The secret force was disbanded after the war and Inverlair Lodge fell into disrepair after it was vacated. It was restored in the 1970s. The listing from Galbraith reads: "There are historical records of the land at Inverlair going back to the early 13th century, but Inverlair Lodge as we know it today was built in three stages from the early until the late 1800s and was formerly the shooting lodge for Lord Abinger of Inverlochy Castle. "The property was requisitioned during WW2 and, because of its relative isolation, became a facility for the Special Operations Executive who operated during the war in espionage and intelligence gathering. "The SOE was disbanded after the war and Inverlair fell into disrepair until it was renovated in the 1970s by new owners and then, as only the second family ever to have lived there, the sellers bought the house in 2008."

'Holy grail of shipwrecks' carrying £16bn in treasure sparks legal row
The confirmation that the wreck of the San Jose, a Spanish galleon that sank in 1708 while carrying an estimated £16 billion in gold, silver and emeralds, has ignited a fierce legal battle over who owns the treasure Researchers have confirmed the existence of a shipwreck believed to contain one of history's greatest lost treasures, sparking a multi-billion-pound legal battle over its ownership. The Spanish galleon San Jose, laden with gold, silver and emeralds estimated to be worth around £16 billion, had been lost beneath the Caribbean waters for more than 300 years. However, academics in Colombia have now definitively identified the wreckage found near Baru Island, off the coast of Cartagena, in 2015 as the legendary ship that sank in 1708 following a fierce battle with the Royal Navy, according to The Telegraph. Known as the "holy grail of shipwrecks", the San Jose was transporting treasure from Peru to Spain to finance the Spanish side of the War of the Spanish Succession when it was intercepted by a British squadron led by Charles Wager, who later became First Lord of the Admiralty. During the clash, the ship's powder magazines detonated, sending it and its valuable cargo to the ocean floor, reports the Express. The vessel was presumed lost forever until an expedition in 2015 used underwater drones to capture images of the wreckage on the seabed. Now, experts are confident that the mystery has finally been solved. "This body of evidence substantiates the identification of the wreck as the San José Galleon, a hypothesis that has been put forward since its initial discovery in 2015," the academics concluded. Historians believe they have finally discovered the long-lost San José Galleon after finding silver coins created in 1707 at the Lima Mint. "The finding of cobs created in 1707 at the Lima Mint points to a vessel navigating the Tierra Firme route in the early 18th century. The San José Galleon is the only ship that matches these characteristics." The underwater archaeological site offers a unique glimpse into colonial maritime trade and routes. Photographs show silver coins minted in 1707, Chinese porcelain from the Kangxi period, and cannons dating back to 1665 - all of which researchers believe point to the San Jose. However, the discovery has sparked a heated dispute over who should claim the treasure. Colombia, Spain, Peru, indigenous communities, and descendants of Peruvian miners are all vying for ownership. Treasure hunters Glocca Morra, who say they discovered the wreck in 1981, are now demanding £7.9 billion. The firm's successor, Sea Search Armada, claims the latest find is just "a mile or two" from their original coordinates and is contesting a 2020 Colombian law that declares everything on the galleon belongs to the Colombian government. The sinking of the San Jose was a major setback for Spain's war effort in the 18th century. The War of the Spanish Succession concluded with Britain taking control of Gibraltar, Newfoundland and Nova Scotia, but the legendary treasure remained concealed. After centuries submerged, the treasures of the San Jose might finally be revealed - if an agreement can be reached on who they rightfully belong to.
