However that passed until I noticed today he trimmed his side of the hedge and not mine. Main concern is the wall collapsing as the breeze blocks are in no good nick Usually a communal hedge is maintained by both neighbours, if the wall is on the next door neighbours property then it will be up to them to take care of that themselves. It would be best to consult a solicitor as I have mentioned to outline the exact boundary of the properties. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NJ2 Posted June 22, 2018 Share Posted June 22, 2018 Best angle I am getting at for it And yes the grass I'm getting rid of for fake grass. The joys of a North facing back garden. No an awful lot of sunshine . Could you beat this neighbour in a fight? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IMO Every couple of meters there should be a pier(?) doubling the thickness of blocks to give it strength. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Herman Hessian Posted June 22, 2018 Share Posted June 22, 2018 have the whole hedge down to the top of the breeze blocks, get yerself an alsatian, jack the shed up and raise it permanently on substantial wooden supports, stick a searchlight on the top and - hey presto - colditz/guantanamo in your back garden - next door won't f**k with you then for fear of internment no real need for a machine gun in the "guard tower" IMO - that's just be stupid.... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That I understand however since I've been her slowly the wall ( shite wall) is slowly cracking. How does one maintain this ? My neighbours garden is higher up ( steps goes u. At there side of the hedge they have a fence with all the weight of the hedge in my garden *Buttress A few neighbours have had a similar problem and the only solution was to tear it down and rebuild. Not what you want to hear, however there was no other option. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supermik Posted June 22, 2018 Share Posted June 22, 2018 Since it needs to be trimmed from your side of the garden, you could, in a fit of utter madness, do it yourself! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know the reason for the hedge was for privacy for my neighbours which is fine however since I don't want the hedge should they fix my wall or am I just being a dick about this ? I am also worried about if the wall does decide to collapse what damage this will create on my property. I just don't know what the likelihood of this wall actually collapsing is As I said last night, you need to check with a solicitor who owns what and this will define your responsibilities. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Melanius Mullarkey Posted June 22, 2018 Share Posted June 22, 2018 The wall is probably cracking due to movement caused by the hedge roots. its a relatively wee wall tbf. Might take out a cat or a small dog but that’s it. Whip it down and suggest putting up a low fence on the provision he keeps all the hedge trimmed. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bairnardo Posted June 23, 2018 Share Posted June 23, 2018 I know you were all wondering how I got on.The neighbour trimmed my hedge n made it all pretty and for the wall he will pay for a new one.The wall I didn't ask for him to pay for it ( shat it ) however he said he will speak to someone who he knows is a bricklayer. So one presumes it's either going to be a new ane or not but he did say he would pay for it. ( dinna worry about it mate will get it sorted ).So shall see what happens however he did trim meh bush. Teckle Do you think he might mean someyhing different by "get it sorted"? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
