Hedge trimming. It bugs me that neighbours plant fir trees and then trim their side only. This hedge must be 10ft tall as well. Loads of work and mess for muggings.

I've got hedges totalling maybe 100m around my boundaries, nowhere near 10' tall, but I'll be fecked if the neighbours expected me to cut their side too!

My neighbours trimmed their side of my conifers then chucked all the cutting in to my garden without even saying anything. I was a bit annoyed about that.

Pretty sure legally a dividing hedge must be under 6'. Leylandii should be banned, native hedging grows at a far more sensible rate and supports far more bug life. Rant over.

I guess they feel the same way as I do. I still wouldn't do that though.

That's sensible. It doesn't need to be any higher than 6ft if privacy is needed.

Actually, your neighbours were right. As the conifers are yours, legally, any cuttings are yours, not theirs.

Yeah but it wouldn't take much to knock on the door and let me know.

It’s a well known fact Tom that 11 out of 4 (11/4) can’t do fractions .
