Can you legally stop a neighbor from blowing leaves and grass cuttings onto your property?

I don't know where you live, but where I live it's not illegal.  Gak.  If you want to start up a real feud, you could bag up all the leaves and dump them back into his yard.  \n\nOr build a fence.  Be very clear about your property line, however; you wouldn't want him to own the fence!\n\nKeep a record of what he does and when he does it.  You might have a basis for an harrassment suit.

If the grass is greener in other fellow's yard- let him worry about cutting it.

I believe the law on this could be different from state to state.  However, in both West Virginia and Ohio (the ones with which I am familiar), you can cut the portion of the tree which is on your property (and ONLY the portion which is on your property).\n\nWord to the wise--why not just ask the owner of the tree about it in the first place?  Explain your reason for wishing to cut it and see if you can come up with an amicable solution first.  Life can be rough if you have a neighbor angry with you.  It is always best to treat your neighbor the way you would like for him to treat you.  If you had an "offending" tree that you didn't realize was offensive, wouldn't you rather that your neighbor kindly tell you about it first so you could offer to make things right in the first place?

There is a lot of law on this, but it's all state- (or jurisdiction-)specific and you'd have to tell us where you are for any answer to be reliable.\n\nAs a general rule, once told of the problem the owner of the livestock has to do something to prevent them becoming a nuisance. Do you have a fence? Are they damaging the fence?\n\nThe simplest solution may be to put up a cheap electric fence of your own. Disputes between neighbors can get out of hand, and the legal costs become disproportionate to the problem. I would suggest doing whatever you can do cheaply yourself before escalating the matter as a legal issue.

I don't think you're breaking any noise ordinances...I say let them call the police and the police will tell your neighbour's that you are within the law.  Period.

The music and blocking of your driveway are illegal.  Contact the police.  They can have visitors all day and night you can't control that, you can only complain if they make "loud" noise.  Also they can park in front of your house, they just can't block the driveway.  The street is public so you can't stop them.

I am just guessing, but my stepfather used to joke about doing just this, so he would not have to mow.\n\nI can certainly imagine that a landscaper would not want to come home and mow their own yard.\n\nGod Bless,\n\nRobert

Get a property map from the county first of all.  Approach whomever is using the easement with proof of the boundaries and request that they cease activity on the easement.\n\nIf they refuse, your next course of action would have to be through the legal system, whether it be contacting police or county officials (depending on "who" is using it and for what), or through the court system.

1) Stop using the PC.  You are going to have to make phone calls to resolve this, and probably show up in person.\n\n2) If you do not own the tree involved, it's not your responsibility to fix, unless you have a contract with the owner saying so.  If you're renting, then the landlord will have to fix the defects with the property.\n\n3)  If you're elderly and on SS, then you will be eligible for legal assistance.  Many lawyers will do a free consultation, and one may even take your case Pro Bono (free).  If not, check with the county's legal aid services, or a local law school.

It depends on the laws of your state and the particular dispute you have.  You would probably serve yourself well to have the land surveyed before you attempt to sue your neighbor.  A surveyor will look at your property deed then determine where the actual "metes and bounds" of your property are.  The surveyor should also be able to give you some sort of opinion as to whether you are correct in your assumptions about your property boundary.\n\nGood luck!

It requires somewhat more than just taking care of the property. What you are referring to is called adverse possession, which by Texas law, must be "an actual and visible appropriation of real property, commenced and continued under a claim of right that is inconsistent with and is hostile to the claim of another person." Further, the true owner of the land has a period of time from the commencement of that possession to file a claim, though the time period depends on the circumstances. I would contact a lawyer and see what your options are. If you built a fence around the land and kept it for long enough, it would be yours.

its called mow & grow the technique is used to control the speed of grass growth, and even-ness they will section off areas of the lawn and treat pending on which section needs it most

Hi, if the tree roots are damaging your property (this includes the garden) technically it is classed as trespassing as it is on your property and it is also causing a nuisance.  The council should act if they own the tree or it is on their property.  Tell them you have rights under tort for nuisance under the occupiers liability acts.  Speak to the planning department.  PS This is not legal advice.

It fertilizes his fields.  He doesn't like spreading it and offending his neighbors.   He'll be done soon.\nPray that the wind changes.

The worst case I ever heard of was two guys who sued Snapper lawnmowers and won.  Apparently they thought their Snapper would make a great hedge trimmer, so they picked up the mower while it was running and one of them had his freakin' hand chopped off my the spinning blade.  They claimed that there was no warning on the mower that said they shouldn't use is as a hedge trimmer...and they won.

As long as you do the trimming on your property you can trim any part of the tree or the bush that overhangs your property.  I would, however, check any local city or county ordinances that may apply, especially as to protecting certain types of trees.
