The concrete wedges of his curbstones are actually about 15-20 cm on our property. But I don’t care, dirt will be put on top and the root probably won’t be disturbed.
I also felt disturbed by this matter-of-factness or thought to myself that one simply doesn’t do this without asking. Meanwhile, it’s out of my head and doesn’t bother me. However, I still maintain that I basically find this intrusive and that it should be addressed in good time if the neighbor will be affected in any way.
That’s my wishful thinking in social interaction. I think that will quickly pass for you as well.
But just out of interest, how would it be if I wanted to put up a fence there myself? You can’t simply remove the wedges... as I said, we had considered putting up a privacy screen about 3-4 m near the house, that will at least be different than expected now. Could you drill into the concrete wedge for fixation?
With that, you can tie courts up for years through several instances, wasting time and money. Provided it was the only suitable option, I would of course drill into a concrete block located on my property. The question is rather to what extent you can “use” the neighbor’s pushing ahead for yourself without annoying him. He has now built a fence, which is not a disadvantage for you; I would consider the underground concrete wedges there irrelevant. I think there are many options that do not disadvantage either side or open a new can of worms.
If needed, post a picture and more ideas will come.
