Neighbours are quite new and basically have a house at the bottom of our garden. Have never spoken to them. There is a large tree in their garden which overhangs ours by quite a distance and drops leaves, acorns, etc. all over our garden and patio. Yesterday they have a tree surgeon round to cut part of it down - fair enough - but they didn't have the courtesy to advise us beforehand. When I came home there were branches, leaves, sawdust and bits of twig all over my garden and patio. One huge branch had flattened a hanging basket and my runner beans. If they had told us beforehand, I could have moved all this stuff. The tree surgeon came and removed the branches but left all the debris over my garden which I have had to clear up. They are pretty annoying in other ways too - have installed huge solar panels which reflect harsh glare into the bedrooms!!
What would you do - would you complain to them? My DH says leave it be, but he didn't have to clear up the mess!!
