Roundup

Spray it on the leaves on your side of the fence and it will travel back to the roots and kill the plant. Problem solved.

Y'all are some petty arse motherfrickers. File a public nuisance complaint? Tha frick? Go talk to the guy.



Yea for real, my neighbors told on me about some hedges to my landlord instead of just knocking on my door.

Agree.

Grow a set of balls and act like a man and just go tall to him. Dam.

Or maybe your problem is so small and petty that he hasn't noticed it.

Just maybe the OP's neighbor hates looking at a 100' wood fence that looks like a prison compound. I just don't see how people can look at that crap and feel that it looks good.

City people problem.

When I purchased my house it was three years old and a landscape architect owned it. It takes a lot to take care of it. He planted vines that grow up a fence between a neighbors house and my driveway. It covers the entire fence, on both sides. My neighbor has never complained. I don't know what the vines are, but they flower these beautiful flowers three times a year.

Someday, the fence will have to come down and the vines with it.

It costs me about 45 minutes with a weed eater about every two weeks to trim the crap off of my fence.
does it really take this long, every two weeks? Take a picture.

I can't believe no one has requested pics of his neighbor's bush to be posted.

It always baffles me when people come here for advice when the answer usually requires just a simple, respectful conversation between two people... Now if that didn't work, I could see you asking for help here, but honestly most of the problems people post here could be solved with a simple conversation.. Do people not know how to communicate anymore?!?


What if I don't have his cell phone number or know his last name to look him up on facebook? Then what, genius?
