I have some problematic neighbors that allow a their weed and bush overgrowth to constantly take over the shared fence in my back yard. I trim this shit back multiple times per year and am getting rather sick of it invading my yard. What's really aggravating is that five feet of my yard is on their side of the fence. Unfortunately the fence has been there since before we moved in. It's a battle I'm tired of fighting.
I'm curious what others in similar situations have done. I've tried talking to them before but none of them give a shit since the growth from their weeds is on my side. Not their problem and all that BS.
Picture attached for reference. I don't think antifreeze and aids infected needles will help here. [Reply]

What was annoying was that not only did the tree shed branches and leaves like crazy but it rained acorns on our roof for many months during season. We also had NO TRESS in our backyard yet had bags upon bags of leaves before winter to rake as kids. Drove me crazy.
I've had to deal with that. Old neighbor never took care of his tree. Limbs hanging right over my roof on my house, over my patio, and over my garage. I just got a pole saw and started cutting and cutting and cutting some more. Never bothered to say anything to the neighbor, I just did it. I figured if he really cared then he would have taken care of that. This is the same guy that let his dog bark constantly. He moved out over the summer and the new neighbor seems much better. However, he saw me as I was finishing up trimming his tree's branches that were nearly touching my roof. He said "what's up?" and I just replied "oh, just trimming back these branches. And that was it. He seems like a nice guy that respects his neighbors, though. [Reply]
Woman in my town just bought a home from my realtor friend. Here is the “Welcome to the Neighborhood” letter she just received. ��#designerFencepic.twitter.com/k1kbVZZwmU

If they're that worried about their designer metal fence, chances are good it would be cheaper for them to have their attorney write a letter than it would be to risk getting their shoes dirty walking across the yard. [Reply]

Doesn’t have a webpage, so he’s either old AF or unsuccessful (or both).
Based on the tweets it sounds like he did have some kind of a site (may have just been a google business site) because he was apparently getting destroyed in the reviews. I'd imagine he just took it down as it's probably doing more harm than good at this point. [Reply]

Looks like he's been practicing since 1976. So, old dude.
