I did some end of summer clearing up behind my house. I have not had the time to do anything in the yard much this year with my wacky work schedule as well as my wife's. The grass got cut at a bare minimum.
So the PO of my house installed the chain link fence to close to the ground so you can't cut the grass under it without snapping weedeater line on the fence itself. I decided to fix it once at for all by spraying the area with weed/grass killer.
I also purchased brush/poison ivy killer for the back of the house that is entirely shaded by a huge tree. No grass grows but tons of unwanted stuff does. I sprayed inside my yard and my fence line. I made sure not to spray outside that for obvious reasons.
The neighbors in question are on a diagonal with only their left corner touching my right corner. Apparently their weed trees sucked up the weed killer along with spreading it into the grass. I have a fence their yard is not fenced. So the tree started to brown a bit but I doubt it would have died, it was over 30ft tall. It wasn't a pretty flowering tree it was a wild weed tree. The kind you don't want in a yard. Some grass arguably did but grass seed isn't a big deal. I cut these trees down myself once before because they were growing through my fence. Nobody seemed to care then but now it is a heinous crime that I committed. The wife claiming she liked them their for privacy so why not plant some shrubs or install a privacy fence. I can't control the plants roots. It seriously is the same stuff that grows on the side of highways, not some beautiful dogwood or maple tree.
Better yet plant a nice tree nope they rather it look like a forest like the house directly behind me who does 0 yardwork and has the 15 trees to prove it on barely a 1/4 acre.
I even offered to buy some grass seed to fix the small section of grass. Nope they said it would be fine and give them a reason to do just what I suggested. They just wanted to know I didn't intentionally do it. Dunno why anyone would...I don't even talk to them that much.
Now the wife talked to my wife while I was at work saying the damage was far greater than anything they expected....um I doubt that. I think my offer to help with the grass just turned into pay for our project for us which I'll be [censored] if I am doing.
Sometimes I really can't stand living this close to people.
I'd take pics but I don't need them seeing me doing that.
