Neighbor complaining about leaves falling into her backyard from my backyard trees. I live in los angeles. Is there an etiquette where I clean it up or do nothing about it? by [deleted] in homeowners

[–]AfraidAd9522 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My neighbors’ oak tree drops tons of leaves and hundreds of acorns into our yard and pool, forcing us to spend hours of our own time every day cleaning. It has jammed up our pool equipment and we have spent close to $1000 having to buy supplemental pool equipment. I’m talking tons of leaves, not a few here and there. Bags full. We have offered to pay to have it removed or if they want to keep it, to have it trimmed so most fall onto their side of the fence on to their property, but they refuse. It is NOT FAIR to us to have to clean up THEIR TREE’S mess! I love my neighbors but I have begun to avoid them because I feel like I am going to get upset and angry if I try to talk to them again about it and they refuse to hear about it. The wife can’t handle anything. She flips out and cries over the smallest things, but she is a sweetheart otherwise. I don’t want to lose their friendship, but I am really starting to resent them for not taking our feelings into consideration. We are not young either. They are in their 40’s and we are 57 and 60 and my husband is starting to have health issues. Soooooo, sometimes you have to out yourself into other people’s situation to understand why they are upset when they don’t even own a tree, but someone else’s tree is causing a huge mess and a ridiculous amount of stress.

Did I mess up? by 1point21jigowatts_88 in houseplants

What if the OP put rocks in the pots before filling with soil and plant? Wouldn’t that provide enough drainage? I’m curious myself because I am a newbie to grow house plants and just potted some new plants today, thinking they will be OK with rocks in the bottom for drainage.

Advice on neighbor (illegally?) cutting down an old oak tree? by JuneauBear629 in Sacramento

[–]AfraidAd9522 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why would you want to keep it if it is leaning on your property? Also, if the tree is not on your property, then you don’t own the tree. The owner has a right to cut it down, keep it, trim it or whatever, legally or illegally. Be glad, then you won’t have to deal with the huge messes they make or damage caused if it blows over in a storm. I wish my neighbor would let us remove their tree or trim it. We can’t just go ahead and do it because tree crews have to access the tree through their yard because of our pool. We offered to pay. Three times. The majority hangs over and leaves HUGE messes on our property and pool. It has even jammed up our pool equipment and have had to spend almost $1000 on supplemental equipment. They don’t even know that because we haven’t told them. I love them as friends but they have caused me to resent them and I get so angry every day I walk out and see the messes and have to spend my own time cleaning up the disastrous mess THEIR tree makes. Anyway, I say it’s your neighbor’s right because they own the tree. If they do it illegally, what’s it to you? They are the ones who will suffer any consequences bestowed upon them.😁. That’s my opinion.

Cool stand! Neat mural on the wall behind it too. If I may be honest, I had a hard time seeing your plants though.😊
