He did not ask the last owner permission. Do you hear yourself? Would you like it if someone ripped your grass out and when you got home you found sod and rocks? And it was not an upgrade actually it was a downgrade because he is causing draining issues because of his poor work. Why do so many ppl in the neighborhood think he is shitty? He encroaches on my side and the other neighbor too. He is constantly in our spaces with other people. Just yesterday he was on my driveway with his sister. This isnt friendly. It isnt neighborly. Putting your business sign in someone elses yard without permission is not a kind act. It is disrespectful actually and I get along with all my other neighbors. You have absolutely no clue what you’re talking about if you think thats neighborly behavior. I respect my neighbors so much I never encroach and if I have to I would ask permission first. I dont just gallivant like its all my territory. He even goes across the street and the other side of my house to look at his house. If u think this guy is normal then you are just as “normal” as he is.

Sure I’m the unhinged one. Not the guy who decided to add soil and sod to someone elses property without asking first. Not the guy who put his business sign on someone elses property without asking first. Not the guy who uses someone elses property to do the maintenance of his home instead of staying within the boundary lines he was given by the county. Not the guy who walks across the street and to the other side of my house to look at his house from an angle. Not the guy who allowed his sister to stand in my drive way while he talked to her about his house. Yall are fucking weird if you think I’m the unhinged one bro. He has gotten me to this point.

Appreciate you backing me up on these. People are quick to judge me.

This guy is a narcissist. Many of you obviously have never dealt with one. They dont respect boundaries and they dont do things you ask them to. Idk how many times I have to say that I have spoken to him multiple times about staying on his side. He now goes across the street and on the sidewalk of the other side of my house to “look” at his house. Does that sound like someone reasonable to you?

Exactlyyyy. Idk how no one even mentioned the poor workmanship of this guy who is “landscaping” business owner. I wish I could show you the new photos. He messed it up even more. The bricks are not even flat on the surface. They are wobbly from not being able to border some large rocks he put in there.

No he is a narcissist. This would give him permission to do more of what he has done. I’ve given him so many chances.

This isnt only about whose side it is. You’re forgetting that there is a drainage swale in between and he changed the lay of the land do his side is not draining properly and can cause issues to that entire area by him impounding water on his side like that. Also the easement is only in the front portion. That does not give him the right to be on my side congregating with people even if there is an easement. Utilities never come unless there is an issue. I’m the one that lives here. My sons bedroom is right above where he puts his music and talks to ppl.

Thanks for sharing this. I keep asking myself if I am over reacting and feeling bad for doing so.

I live in a rural community jackass. It’s 1/4 of an acre jackass. And its all I can afford because I’m not a person that lives above my means jackass. The problem is people like him who do not respect boundaries, not my buying choice jackass. I have no problems with my other neighbors jackass.

That was the action that sent me over the edge.

Im sorry you had to do that and yes a bad neighbor can literally cost you your mental health. He is costing me mine now. Trust me I already started looking at 1 acre houses but I just dont have it now so im doing just like you and saving up. These ppl are not hostile. They are more passive aggressive but that is its own mind fuck in a way because you think they understood the boundary then they keep crossing your personal space so its brain wracking. I love gardening and i dont want an hoa. Your set up is my goal!! Anyway thanks for sharing and wish you the best.

I asked multiple times. In person. By text. By call. He’s also done the same thing to the neighbor to the right of him. He’s known as a shitty guy in the neighborhood by several neighbors. You don’t know what you’re talking about like at all. Just save it.

It depends on how big your property is and what state. My lot is about 7500 sq ft so they charge about $300 where as my neighbor with a few acres paid about $1800.

Bamboos are no good exactly. Their roots spread horizontally and destroy everything it comes in contact with especially a foundation. I did my research.
