I need a fence in the yard to drink beers and discuss shi...stuff

My neighbor and I take turns cutting the small patch of yard in the easement shared between our properties. His side is Bahia and my side is St. Augustine. He's a good guy, means to do the right thing and we do get along well. But since he's taken to mowing his own yard vs paying for a service, he's scalping my side of the grass to devastation. I've let it go 3 times this summer so far.

To be fair, he's a young guy, renter, probably not a knowledgeable previous grass owner and the actual homeowner doesn't do much for their property.

I'm tempted to talk with him but I rarely see him. So it would definitely be a going out of my way thing to mention it. I think he and his girl are both nurses and work nights, sleeps days.
OR should I just tolerate let it go. What would you do?

 

I would preemptively keep that area mowed the way you like it so he has no need to attempt mowing and ruining it. Maybe even putting a planter or something on that area so he knows that you are caring for it.

 

Go over and politely say something

 

This, he may not even realize he's doing it, a lot of people don't know the proper height to mow a lawn.

 

Sneak over and raise his deck while they're sleeping, if he notices,, tell him you didn't want to wake em, he'll get the hint.

 

3' screwdrivers at dawn.

 

^^^^^^ This. Go have a talk with them. If they dont get the hint, put decorative plants on the line, if they still dont get it, time for a fence. Tall fences, make good neighbors. Ski

 

Jesus fuck this place is lame.





Go shit in his fort, dumbass.

 

some rebar stakes, at the property line, with a string line should give the message subliminally. Or a big bore 2 stroke dirtbike trench if you want to go the conscious way

 

I can promise all of you here that I'll never, ever, know what species of grass is in my yard, or my neighbors.

 

Just mow the thing yourself...problem solved.

 

Don't forget to wear your white NB's when you go over to talk with him.

 

Perrennial ryegrass for the win. People will look at you like you're a leper.
