Property lines can become a major source of tension between neighbors.

In this story, a man has a neighbor who repeatedly crossed onto his property while mowing their lawn.

They had done a lot of weird things, too, like entering his backyard without notice and storing trash between their homes.

Moreover, the neighbor won’t agree to communicate calmly and would always resort to yelling.

So now, he’s unsure of how to protect his property line from this neighbor.

Check out the full details below.

NFH mowing way over property line.

My neighbor and I share a front yard that is only visibly divided by a fence in the backyard.

Any time we’ve interacted with this neighbor, they immediately get defensive and start yelling.

When asking them not to plant a large bush less than a foot off the property line and about three or feet from our house, they went off on me.

This man witnessed how his neighbor was disrespecting his boundary.

They have had tree workers come into our backyard, with no heads up or notice, to cut down a tree on the property line.

They also stored trash between our two houses, which are maybe 5 feet apart.

They seem to be on drugs and are usually screaming at each other outside.

Talking to them is like talking to very angry children who can’t use reason.

He has finally had enough, but he’s not sure what to do with them.

After all of this, I’ve finally had enough of their crap.

I used to not be too bothered when they would mow over the line, but they do it farther and more often than they used to.

They mow over the property line up to the very edge of our front porch, so about 3 to 4 feet over.

They mow every few days or so.

How can I get them to stop mowing over the property line without talking to them directly?

Whoa, this neighbor sounds exhausting! Like, why can’t they keep a calm conversation?

Since direct communication has repeatedly gone badly, it makes sense that OP wants to avoid another confrontation.

I agree that dealing with this kind of person can make every day a living hell.

Finally, don’t let them know it bugs you, says this one.

Some neighbors just can’t stay on their own side of the grass.
