The neighbor has so far not complied with the request to remove his green waste from our property. I asked him again today to take care of it promptly. He then tried to argue that it came from our property and grew over to his side. However, he could not plausibly explain this when we stood together at the property boundary. Allegedly, there is at least 10cm next to the wire mesh fence, which supposedly stands 100% on our property (I am having this checked precisely now), where there is also an area belonging to us. This is exactly where the pruned wood stumps are now standing. How foolish must the former owners have been to build a fence and then leave so much space that the neighbor can openly work on their property? Then behind the wire mesh fence there is a dilapidated chain link fence which he says he does not know whether it stands on the boundary or only on his side. What nonsense all of this is!
Very annoying.
My father and I will clear the entire property boundary of all vegetation in the next few days so that nothing grows over anymore, etc. etc., and it will just be bare. Then, after clarifying the ownership situation regarding the fence and determining exactly where the boundary lies, we will install a complete privacy screen on the wire mesh fence so that nothing can grow back and forth anymore.
It will be interesting if he now does not take back his green waste onto his property as requested. I would probably just throw it back onto his property (with prior notice?). Simply crazy.
The neighbors had also observed this and told me that he simply threw stuff into our garden from his property.
