Property line issue

[scooterbug44]

Before you start a fence war or pay for a new survey that could open up a big can of worms, I would talk to your neighbor and clarify the issue. Hopefully he's just mowing a little extra to be nice.

or, you could always shoot him with a BB gun when he crosses the line. Just tell the police that you were "hostilely defending your property" so that he couldn't claim squatters rights sometime down the road. :funn:

You're still craving jail time, aren't you?

Well, unfortunately the guy that had lived there before this man who did the remodeling is the one who removed the stake and I assume threw it away. It never was put back.

Same here :roll: Don't mind if not violated in anyway but guess what... Just went out to water my nursed thru the drought trees and small shrubs and the new homeowners next door just cut down my 3 year old baby oak leak hydrangea. It had baby growth comin' out. :angry:

I am mindful that, like neighbors, I can't pick family members either. I'd plant a hedge or put in some ground cover on the border.

That's what I'd done to hide their addition that's already at the edge of my yard.

well...i'm 'elderly' and bored...have a John Deere...and when I mow the weeds
that make up my 'lawn'...I mow the whole neighborhood...cuz the county doesn't
keep the right of ways in the 'hood mowed...it's a 'man/machine' thing...he's just
being neigh'bored'ly, methinks...(I have yet to file a 'claim' on any property I have mowed, I do claim any and all golf balls in my yard, however)...

This is way different. You sound like a friendly mower not a killer.

Might I suggest planting land mines by your bedroom window?

I hate to admit it but right now, YES, even though I know this was for LadyD! I better just stay in and calm down. I don't wanna be the Queen B but that is just wrong. It was clearly in between my magnolia and privets. Clearly. Hubba says he might've driven over it with his mower. WTH would you do? First thing I'm gonna do is stay in and cool down a little. They actually live down the street, and bought the house as an investment to resale. I've never met these people. Hubba's been chattin' a little, that's all we know of them.

I am thankful this is the worst of my problems today.

Be sure you edge a little bed around it. Mulch it (not too thick right now, since it's still hot out!) and water it. If it's 3 years old, it will probably put out some more baby growth and shoot back up. You can also try some sort of fertilizer, like Peter's or Miracle Gro. (Follow the label, though. Don't overdo it.)

Might not hurt to put some sort of stake or flag or angry badger there to mark the spot for dingbats on mowers. (Did you mean that your neighbor might've driven over it, or your Hubba? If it was Hubba, strike the "dingbat" part.)

Thanks NoHall. Yeah, I just verified when he said 'he' he meant HIM, the neighbor not himself. Grayt question though, not only cuz of my grammar skillz but also cuz it has been known to happen with him and some peonies too. I should have had them mulched too. ;-) I will try it. It was like 3-4 ft tall. Appreciate it, gull.
I normally don't water now but it's overcast but no rain is comin' out yet! This has been the story of this summer.

Hard to be grammatically correct when you're grieving.

My dear Dad mows my yard for me, and I've learned the hard way to be very clear about my bedlines. He used to think that it's okay to deadhead flowers with the lawnmower, too.

I feel your pain! Good luck!

Thanks, I'm starting to feel better already.

My daddy took great pleasure in running right over everything in the yard. Mom never had a good flower bed until this year. Daddy would run right through them God love him.

Tangent: Between your 'tar and your siggy line, I'm in perma-giggle.

Back to the thread: It's tough to fuss at Daddy when he's sweet enough to mow the grass for me...

(Oops; that was a tangent of a tangent. We weren't talking about plants, we were talking about property lines!)
