If you live next door to the wrong people, even the most beautiful property may become a pain. So, let’s be honest: irritable neighbors are every homeowner’s worst dream. This is the predicament that one woman recently found herself in. Read the story to know what happened between these neighbours and let us know how you would deal with such a situation.

Our semi-detached neighbour spoke to us recently about leaves from a bush in our garden being on her driveway.
It’s an evergreen, and the leaves she was referring to (about a handful) – contained only a few from the bush.
She wanted me to contact an expert to look at the bush, or to remove it. We’ve not done anything – the bush is fine, although we had been thinking about taking it out, prior to her complaint.
Neighbour does all manner of odd things (sprays water from her hose onto our property, anxiety about any plants from our garden – we’ve cut them all back, regularly asks/demands that workmen enter our garden to clean her property, her workman damaged our front wall and she refused to accept responsibility).
End of last week – she’s going to ask for a fence to be put in all around her front drive due to leaves. This is likely to look ridiculous as none of the other properties have fences at the front, and all because of one bush. It also feels as if she is doing it more to ‘make a point’.
DP says he could just go and remove the bush today, but it feels as if we are bowing down to her demands?
She has done this type of behaviour with various other things before, and it feels more like a control issue – than a bush issue.
So do we leave the bush and face having a ridiculous fence put up, or take the bush out and let her ‘win’?
