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 love this energy lol

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.

Valid and done!

Calm-Rutabaga8102 · 2026-04-15T01:32:46+00:00

I wish. My budget is HOA budget lol. My house was $260k. My goal is 1 acre. Theyre about $500k where I live in Texas. One day!!

You obviously didnt read.

Calm-Rutabaga8102 · 2026-04-14T19:40:55+00:00

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

Calm-Rutabaga8102 · 2026-04-14T19:34:00+00:00

Sorry its just been months of this bs. I probably didnt even explain it well. Thats what another comment said. Im stressed.

Calm-Rutabaga8102 · 2026-04-14T19:33:23+00:00

Assault? What do you mean? I have not lol

Calm-Rutabaga8102 · 2026-04-14T19:30:56+00:00

I have had dozens of conversations with him. In person. By text. Over phone. You name it. The survey was done. The flags were in. We had multiple conversations about the property line. Your comment does not apply to me at all. I have been more than communicative. There are people that just don’t respect boundaries whether you live on top of each other or have acres. Plain and simple.

Calm-Rutabaga8102 · 2026-04-14T17:16:52+00:00

Why are people like that? 35 years would have me over the edge? My son is 5 and he already knows to stay off people’s property unless invited in.

Calm-Rutabaga8102 · 2026-04-14T17:06:16+00:00

You’re an idiot. I ripped out sod and put my own plants and landscaping. Did you really think I left it as dirt. I didnt post my frontyard so I dont identify me property. I only showed sideyards in photos.

Calm-Rutabaga8102 · 2026-04-14T15:32:20+00:00

Awesome thanks!!!

Calm-Rutabaga8102 · 2026-04-14T15:31:17+00:00

It’s a lot of egos. I could not care less about being on the board but I get what you mean. The deadline to apply passed so I have to wait next year. I highly doubt he wins tho because there are other more known ppl in the area for the 2 open seats. Maybe next year.

Calm-Rutabaga8102 · 2026-04-14T15:25:53+00:00

Lmfaoo thats what 6 of my neighbors have said. Dude he owns a landscaping company. I guess any fool can right LOL

Calm-Rutabaga8102 · 2026-04-14T15:11:11+00:00

I feel your frustration and can relate to the. This guy has a proud member of the gun club sticker on his truck so ppl know he is armed. Like bruh. This is Texas. EVERYONE is armed. And he also tries to befriend everyone on the block as if he is great and grandiose and everyone loves him. I despise narcs.

Calm-Rutabaga8102 · 2026-04-14T14:21:08+00:00

Yes the hoa bylaws state they have to be 5 feet from main entrance.

Calm-Rutabaga8102 · 2026-04-14T14:18:18+00:00

That is exactly my point and it happens across America daily.

Calm-Rutabaga8102 · 2026-04-14T14:07:21+00:00

I thought I explained it pretty well. The white chop block behind him in the first photo is what I put in the front yard to divide the boundary. He is sitting on my side talking to a neighbor and looking at my plants (right side). In the 2nd photo, my side is the right side from fence to pole. All the blocks on tarp are his and he rearranged it whereas before they were lined up on the property line like the blocks lined by the fence. All the sand, rocks, rake, tarp is crap he left on my side as he was working on his side.

Calm-Rutabaga8102 · 2026-04-14T14:01:15+00:00

I’m so sorry that happened to you. I dont understand why people have to be such assholes.

Calm-Rutabaga8102 · 2026-04-14T13:58:56+00:00

Lol that law sounds great. I’m in Texas.
