Hi Folks,
I looked for a thread on this situation, many like this but not the same afaik.
Hedge at the back of the garden about 8 feet tall. Doesn't block light to neighbour and he has a cement back yard, not a plant to be seen.
On his side is a fence, the boundary, the hedge is on our side.
I have zero issue him cutting anything on his side of the fence and legally I believe he is allowed. Also, I would have been happy to do it for him and remove any waste.
However, today he cut from his side reached into our garden and dropped the entire hedge height by about 4 feet. I had an exhange of words asking why he was cutting my hedge, he had no answer and was "sorry".
It was grown for privacy, which has now been destroyed and also it was cut in December, I am no gardener but doubt that will help the hedge.
Other than wait for it to regrow which will take years what are my options please.
Thanks,
MAJJ
