I was down at the bottom of my garden today, finishing the last few bits on the chicken house I've been building, and noticed it seemed a bit lighter. Looking around I realised why, loads of the hazel and trees at the bottom of my garden had been chopped level with my fence.....thing is, they are growing in my garden! the neighbour at the bottom of my garden had reached over my fence and chopped whatever was in arms reach (probably 2ft into my garden). Its not like its a hedge, most of it hazel and 2inch thick in diameter and quite high, so has taken some effort on his behalf. To be fair I was going to thin some of it out, so he's saved me a job, and there would have been loads to get rid of (glad he didn't just drop it over my fence)....but I'm a bit annoyed he didn't ask before chopping away. Would you say anything out of principal? ....or should I plant something really thorny :chuck:
I did chop 5 leylandi from that area of the garden about 15yrs ago! lol ....they were about 30ft tall, I hate the stuff!! which is why I planted the hazel and other stuff instead
It's up to you if your bothered or not if you are -Wait a week , then nip round and ask for the cutting bits back They are legally yours and if not offered back its theft
I'd rather not in case he still has them they would end up spreading back into mine!! ....I might not bother clearing that area of brambles now though .....they are working their way through the fence nicely
I've done the same with next doors trees, they're a bloody nuisance and he can't be arsed, sounds like he's saved you a job! It's cheeky btw
I think you can legally have a hedge up to two metres high bordering your neighbour. If he has cut it below 2m, then he has violated your property and you are entitled to a remedy.
That is incredibly cheeky! He sounds a right numpty. What's that saying - revenge is a dish best served cold? Start planning now and await your opportunity.
to be fair, he's alright. I've chatted to him on occasion, but probably not in the last year as my trees are too tall to see him over the fence ...I should knock on his door as the fences do need replacing. ....I might play the long game and plant some pyracantha in the gaps though, that stuff is seriously spikey, I hate pruning the one in my front garden
probably warren/Rhode island red cross We are going to Longdown dairy farm tomorrow with the kids as we have free tickets, and noticed they sell them. As we were going to get the chickens this week, might as well kill 2 birds with one stone while we're there, if you'll excuse the pun
There nice chickens quite but lay very well. And don't kill them yet won't be a nuff meat on them yet lmao
that's good to know ....don't think my kids would be happy having them for dinner, I think we are getting the 4mth old ones as they are £5 each rather than £15
