My neighbour has a massive bush and it is encroaching on my garden and also blocks out a lot of the sunlight. I have trimmed back the side on my garden but could do with it taking down a fewfeet. I asked the lady can she trim her bush but i got a load of verbal abuse back. Is it legal for me to trim the bush without consulting her?

I have much sympathy with you. I live in a house where there are no fences or hedges between the properties at the front. I am a keen gardener, but my neighbour guards her strip of land (about 60 cms. wide) on the shared front and grumbles if I plant anything near to the boundary between the properties "in case I might not like it" This does not stop her from occasionally "weeding" on my land and uprooting bulbs and plants which I have planted. I am reminded (very politically incorrect) of the title of a famous tract by John Knox, a Scottish Presbyterian preacher. "First Blast of the Trumpet against the Monstrous Regiment of Women"

Ask her if you can come around the back and sort out her bush as it needs a good going over.

I asked the lady next door politely if she could sort out the tree that was up against the fence and it was hanging about 10 foot over my garden, she got a tree surgeon in to cut it back last month.
You may not be able to disturb it until September if there are nesting birds in her bush.

My neighbour's a transvestite. Whenever I see him wearing miniskirts, I have to admire his balls.

My in-laws had this in reverse slightly, were asked by a neighbour to cut back bushes slightly, said they’d look at doing so after returning from a holiday, and got back to find the neighbour had reduced said bushes massively. Not sure if Council has any powers at all on this, I would guess not

Not sure if Council has any powers at all on this, I would guess not That's disgraceful behaviour - doing it behind their backs when they were away - shocking and bloody disgusting. What a sly, cheap bum the neighbour must be. I'm pretty sure you can trim branches from a neighbour’s tree or shrub if the branches lean over the boundary and into your garden, however you must do it with care so that the main plant is not damaged. Reasonable people would of course discuss it all beforehand and get everything decided and the extent of work to be done clearly outlined and agreed. Also, if you're the one doing the trimming, any branches which you do trim off are still actually the neighbour's property, not yours, so you must ask him if he wants them back and only if he says no can you then dispose of them or use them in some way. |

They were livid and this was a contributing factor to them selling up a year or so later. |

This year's The Old Farmers' Almanac recommends that according to gardening by Moon Phases {proven over many years to produce the best results}, don't do any pruning or trimming of trees, shrubs or bushes until after the Full Moon.
This year it's a Full Pink Moon April 19th.
Shame it's not a Beaver Moon this phase.

Absolutely! No way a swede would understand what you meant. And she's from Longton you say, it must be just as bad. I mean ... "Long" ... it's in the name already. She's obsessed with it. 😜 |

Call me old fashioned Colin, but I prefer the full bush to the juvenile trim any day of the week. I think that Wendy and Sharon would agree, but I’m not sure about Trevor and Domingo.

I live on a wicked blind bend. My neighbour’s side of the fence has ivy that is rampant all over his gatepost (to my right) and it cuts down visibility when trying to exit my drive to less than ten yards with regard to approaching traffic. Trouble is, he lives in The Falkland Islands and I am dealing with his tenants who can’t be bothered to communicate the problem to him. I’m on the verge of cutting it back without waiting for permission before it kills me, or my wife, or my daughter, or all of us.

I’ve got a poplar tree in my garden and it gets covered with the stuff. I have to use a hatchet to cut through the ivy stems they are so thick. On the other hand I’ve got some firs at the bottom of my garden that are covered in the stuff and it provides a great screen from the neighbors. |
