Super gross that you’ve mentioned multiple times that you think your neighbor is autistic as if your speculation is relevant at all to this issue. Team neighbor just for that.

He's constantly landscaping his property. Our houses are quite close together, even though he has a lot of land. So I guess he wanted to shield his house from mine, even though there are already some trees that provide property. But I think he's just an a-hole who has a persecution complex.

I was just wondering if anyone had been in a similar situation, and how you handled it.

I gave my survey to the fence installers eight years ago, and they installed it inside the property line.

I'm more upset at his behavior than anything else. Normal people don't behave like this. He has six acres! Even if my fence were an inch or two on his property (an honest mistake in any case) why would that matter to him? If the situation were reversed, it wouldn't matter to me. And he has shown me no proof whatsoever that the fence is on his property. He just claims it is as an excuse to not pay to repair my fence.

I don't get it.





He doesn’t like you and doesn’t care what you think. Honestly I don’t know how you get through the day if you get so worked up about something like this. Just let it go.

But if you must do something, I suggest investing some resources in figuring out whose land the fence is on. If you are going to live next door to a neighbor, you should know where the property line is.

Ok, but if you're considering taking him to small claims court over $400, you really, really want to make sure it won't result in you having to move the entire fence at your expense.

Shouldn't the landscaper have paid for the damage they cause?

This. Your issue is with the landscaper. You should have asked your neighbor for their information so that you could speak with them about the damage. They're supposed to have insurance for these types of things.

I'm not rich, ha ha ha. My neighbor is rich. He owns six acres, I don't.

Normal people don't post here complaining over $400 when they own that many acres and are rich, don't name call and diagnose. It is not ok if your fence is on his property and you need to move it.

Re-read what she wrote. Ya ding dong.


What is wrong with you? The landscaper broke the fence so you ask them to fix it but may have been broken prior.

Get over his delivery of what he said. Let go of that. Ask to see his survey! So what if he has six acres - how many acres do you have?

If he won't give you a copy of his survey, go to the building dept. & FOIL for it. There may be useful information.

Post a pic of the damaged old fence so we can see.

find out whose property the fence is on first.
