My neighbor has trees that hang all over my fence and more leaves

My neighbors trees hang over to my property too. I cut all branches
that get in my way during mowing. The trees on my property get cut
all the way back to the trunk. The trees on any neighbor's property
get cut back to the property line (or plane). I know that some local
governments (or associations) require permission to cut any tree, on
your property or not. Rake your leaves once a week, make a compost
pile. If you hate raking, a backpack blower may make your life a
little easier. In any event, not good idea to **** off a neighbor.

Actually I am trying to get the ol' lady to stop some of the yard work she
does. Many times I have arrived to see her gathering branches and dragging
them to the other side of the yard. There will come a time when we will be
there 24/7 to see that she behaves herself bless her soul.- Hide quoted text -

AT the risk of starting another flaming long thread, I can't help but
wonder what the issue is with the old lady doing some yard work? My
grandfather and grandmother raked leaves and took care of a large
property that they lived on well into their 80s. Ronald Regan was
chopping wood, clearing brush, and building fences into his 80s as
well. It's widely recognized that regular excercise is good for
anyone, as long as they don't over do it. If your big leaf problem
with the neighbor is an area 100 X 30 and a little old lady raked a
bit of it each day, she'd get some excercise and the leaf problem goes
away.

Does she have some medical problem that a Dr says makes modest
excercise unhealthy? Or is you wanting her to stop doing yard work
just a control issue?
