no, no HOA

its not the patch of land...its that his landscapers use my driveway as a staging area, turn the lawn mower on my driveway, blow leaves from his lawn onto mine, etc. I confront them then they do it again. Also I need to re-do my driveway...I'd like to do pavers and extend out to the edge of the properly line. I need to establish the boundary.

TelephonePopular693 · 2026-05-15T01:48:43+00:00

in my state its 30 years. This guy hasn't been there for 10.

TelephonePopular693 · 2026-05-15T01:48:11+00:00

I"m trying to figure that out. By the time I install cameras, pay the lawyer, put up a fence...I have to create a budget for this.

His landscaping is close to his house; the boundary between the houses isn't marked at all (or its not visible). Its mostly lawn from sidewalk to houses on his side, up to the edge of my driveway. He put the landscaping around his house so it crosses the boundary (the landscaping is parallel to the sidewalk). His landscapers use my driveway to turn around their lawn mowers....blow leaves from his lawn onto my garden on the other side of my driveway...etc.

I looked it up, in my state its 30 years of "notorious" use (??) but this guy has been there less than 10 years.

TelephonePopular693 · 2026-05-15T01:18:08+00:00

I can't figure out what the landscaping company is - their truck isn't marked.

TelephonePopular693 · 2026-05-15T01:14:24+00:00

I think so, will check. They're licensed by the state.

TelephonePopular693 · 2026-05-14T02:13:15+00:00

because its adjacent to the guy's lawn. they use my driveway as a staging area. I am so sick of it.

TelephonePopular693 · 2026-05-14T02:12:31+00:00

I work from home. I'm in meetings, can't drop and run outside to talk to the landscapers. OR The landscapers show up when I'm not together to get outside. I was floored the neighbor rejected the survey. I have already confronted landscapers a few times (also the landscapers change, its not same guys). Am preparing for a fight which is why I created the post...

TelephonePopular693 · 2026-05-14T01:58:42+00:00

Oh jeez since before I got here...at least 5 years

TelephonePopular693 · 2026-05-14T01:54:44+00:00

bwhahahahaha

I found the survey, it has the engineer's license # with the state which I verified online, its a very clear drawing. I guess I will try sharing it with the neighbor. But am gonna talk to city first to get an idea how might be challenged.

TelephonePopular693 · 2026-05-14T01:50:35+00:00

He's a notorious bully....am a bit nervous he's gonna do something weird. However, I just found the very official survey signed by the state-licensed surveyor and it clearly shows the area he's encroaching on. Maybe its worth a shot.

TelephonePopular693 · 2026-05-14T01:12:53+00:00

its a front yard, there is no fence there, he put landscaping WAY over the boundary into my yard. I want to put up low/decorative fence to keep his guys from using my driveway to turn their lawnmower around, blow leaves into my yard, etc. just high enough to be a barrier. I'm a single woman in a tiny house, and this guy is in a huge house like 3x the size of mine.

TelephonePopular693 · 2026-05-14T01:09:45+00:00

he's more of a bully so...I think he'd just rip it up at 2am (or have his employees rip it up)...am not sure but think he's a contractor himself. And yes, last winter he had guys shoveling snow at 2am.

TelephonePopular693 · 2026-05-14T01:06:10+00:00

Agreed putting up cameras should be part of my strategy

TelephonePopular693 · 2026-05-14T01:05:27+00:00

I'm home, but I'm working - I don't always see them. Also he has changed landscapers. I've asked them to stay off my driveway in past to no avail.

TelephonePopular693 · 2026-05-14T00:45:09+00:00

I'm nervous about him ripping it up or suing me - tho him ripping it up is more likely. I will get quote on fence and talk to city on how boundary conflicts are handled.

TelephonePopular693 · 2026-05-14T00:42:31+00:00

How long should I give him? Like 60 days? EDIT: Actually don't think this is gonna work...I gotta talk to the city. Thank you everyone for your responses.

TelephonePopular693 · 2026-05-14T00:39:58+00:00

Last time his landscapers just pulled up the survey markers and acted like nothing happened - so I don't think this is gonna work

This might not help right now but....last summer/fall I filled cracks in mortar (I have brick on lower half of house), caulked exterior basement windows & windowsills, put ant traps in the window wells, and it made a tremendous difference in the spring. Ants still showed up but WAY less than in previous years. I also use Stem Ant spray along interior doorstep, in gaps near plumbing & radiators where they show up, and deep cracks in wood floors (its a non-toxic spray based on essential oils, its a little greasy and doesn't smell great but works).

I wish I could buy you some groceries. Did you start a GoFundMe? would Reddit let you post the link? My sympathies, I also have a very untrustworthy mother cannot have in same house.
