Green waste over the fence
<p>So I moved in to a house with a rather big yard that I'm not using very often, but it is mine. Right next to the fence I have a big tree that branches of it cross the fence to my neighbour's garden but just in a bit. The neighbour is now telling me I ought to pay them for removing the green waste every fall, $1000.
They say that because of the wind most leaves fall at their side.</p>

<p>Is it my problem or theirs?</p>

<p>Theirs. Unless your tree is causing significant damage.  </p>

  autumn, you have no right to ask them to come around and sweep them
  up.  </p>
