We have some new neighbors and guy is push mowing the yard. He carries his stripe all the way through the property line into my grass then turns around and goes back.

I'm probably an a-hole but I think that's rude, he's not bagging either so every time he lifts the deck to turn all his clippings get dumped in my yard.

It's probably not something I'd ever say something about but damn man stay in your yard, or I'm probably just an arse

I had been trying to get some fescue seeded under the oaks in the front yard since early spring. I push mow (with bag) the front, but the back is fenced and I use the rider there.

Neighbor to my south has a big zero turn, and always comes just into my yard before flipping a 180 and returning to theirs. Long story short, I got the fescue to take- everywhere except where the neighbor turns. Frustrating.

My fatass neighbor would randomly drive his mower into peoples yards in the neighborhood. I assume he thought he was helping everybody out by mowing a couple of stripes and circles in their yard.

Problem was, this idiot weighs a good 3 bills plus and had his deck set on the lowest settting, so he was scalping evrrybody's grass. I had to go tell him to stay outa my yard.... the grumpy old man in the hood.

The neighbor on my right side had one of those eco-freindly manual push mowers. Lets just say it doesn't so a real great job of clipping the grass. Anyway I guess he liked using it because he kept cutting about 8" over the property line on to my side. Well long story short I killed his whole family.

Need some type of barrier. Even a pipe fence.

If it bothers you grab your sack and talk to the guy. You dont have to be an arse about it just go talk man to man.

Damn. Call me a hippie but if I was the first to get out I mowed my yard and Neighbor Jim's. If he got out first he mowed mine. It works really nice if you have a few beers every now and then with the neighbor. Peaceful relations are kinda nice.

You have a rider or ZTR and you are bitching about neighbor leaving clippings in your yard? Go make one pass over it.

RAed to move to OT

I'm glad I live in the country where I don't have to worry about grass clippings.

This sounds like a perfect topic for the OT.

Draw a big penis in his yard with diesel. That'll teach him.

Deep breath man.

If caring about someone screwing up my grass that I spend time and money on makes me a snowflake then oh well.

There's 627 different weed threads on this board every spring but someone messing up that grass is all cool no worries.

How great does your yard looking? Professional? I mean to complain it better be looking dang good?

What about cutting a portion of his yard so that he doesn't go into your yard? Cut 2-3 lanes deep into his so he turns around in his own yard?

I'm not really sure what using a push mower has to do with it?
