Property Line Looks Like A Jungle

That is all except the neighbor who's property joins mine to the east. He has huge trees that hang way over the boundary and the leaves block up the down spouts on my rain gutters. He has all kinds of bushes planted right up against the line also. They hang over on my side so far that it's really hard to mow my lawn. Looks like one solid mass or a jungle as I call it. You have to try and duck under them or get slapped in the face or even worse, stuck with briars while mowing. If you say anything to him about trimming them, he says: not the right time of the year to trim that bush! Or, these trees and bushes were planted long before you bought your house! He did help out a bit with the problem. He moved his landscape timbers about 6" over the line onto my side so his jungle don't appear to hang over quite as far. I thought that was rather nice of him......Grrrrrrr! My small lot is only 1/5 acre. His property is 1 acre. I don't have one single plant on that boundary at all so he can't complain I'm doing the same thing! He does have a long stretch of clothes line on his side about 8 foot away from the line that his wife uses a couple times a week to dry clothes. Perhaps I will plant about 3 trees or so very close to the border. Cherry trees! Does this sound like a plan or what? LOL Rich I'd consider myself free to cut anything that hangs over the property line at any time I desire and anything that crosses the line belongs to me. Try to assert your rights without fighting with him and sometime it's best to sic the authorities on them without getting involved. He may be violating local ordinances by having an overgrown yard. Tell your neighbor that he has encroached onto your property, and you would appreciate it he returned his "landscape timbers (?)" to his property, or you'll be forced to have a surveyor mark the property line. Of course this will cost you money, so you will need to go to small claims for reimbursement, for this and any other costs that negotiation may require, like court costs. As Frank said, don't get involved, just feed him to the authorities. If these "landscape timbers (?)" are allowed to remain, he may be entitled to claim that section of your property for himself. -- - Billy "Fascism should more properly be called corporatism because it is the merger of state and corporate power." - Benito Mussolini. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MyE5wjc4XOw http://www.salem-news.com/articles/j...acks_1-5-09.ph p |
