Our neighbour complained about some of our trees and we told them that they

it when they were our trees.

I suppose that's reasonable ?

They wanted us to cut back hedges as well, the matter has not been resolved
as yet.

They want you to cut *their* side of the hedge ? That certainly is not
reasonable !!

We have new neighbours. They stated to our ex neighbours (our friends) that
they have no intention of cutting the top of the long hedge between our
properties. We'll see :-) I'm quite happy to do my share - but not happy to
do it all !

So do you think you'd be setting yourself up for one of those classic
neighbour quarrels that just isn't worth the energy? If you're swiping
3' with the hedge cutter, would it be a terrible burden to swipe 5'?
