What can I do about neighbours ivy growing onto my property ??
What can I do permanently about my neighbours ivy growing onto my
extension wall, onto my extension roof and onto my house wall ?? The extension is set back by 6 ins from boundary wall. I have always cut it back to the boundary yearly. We do not see eye to eye. As I am getting on a bit how can I stop it permanently and legally. |

Have a word with your house insurers and ask them if they will agree to write a letter to your neighbours saying that the insurers will hold them responsible for any damage the ivy does to your property. -- Sacha www.hillhousenursery.co.uk South Devon (email address on website) |

Not sure whether it would be legal, but you could spray it with SBK, which would set it back! Alan |

Alan I was under the impression that 'not seeing eye to eye' was an existing state over something else, and thereby the OP was not able to approach his neighbour on this latest matter, ie, the Ivy. Maybe I am wrong ;-( Mike -- ------------------------------------------------ Royal Naval Electrical Branch Association www.rnshipmates.co.uk |

Keep a fairly low profile. Looks as if the only solution is for you to continue your pruning of the ivy. Most householders with gardens experience an invasion of vegetation from their neighbour's gardens and this is inevitable. Mostly it is dealt with by chopping it off at the boundary line and there the matter rests. Regards, Emrys Davies. |

As I am getting on a bit. I do not relish laying on a roof and trying
to get ivy of the wall below. I will probably have to pay somebody. Looks as if the only solution is for you to continue your pruning of the ivy.

You could paint your fence or wall with something like sbk or creosote or at least something will put off the ivy from growing on that surface I think systemic weedkiller or something like that wouldn't actually kill it off (I know I'm trying to get rid of some ivy in a hedge) it just seems to stop the growth for this year.
