Yes. I did refer to it as a shared boundary because of the lack of a clear boundary that matches the folio maps of both properties.

Thanks LS400. It would have been great if the neighbour took the action of cutting the hedge before we moved in because we would not have probably even noticed. House was being renovated for 6 months so she had a chance to act then. BTW, it's not like I'm talking about a 12 foot hedge on the...
