To think that people should keep their bushes trimmed!

[mother2b]

When i walk down my street there is a bush that is so overgrown that you have to walk single file past it to stay on the path, and then a couple of gardens up there is a tree so overgrown over the path i have to duck to walk under it, and in only 5,2

i just really gets my goat, i know its petty but sometimes i feel like just taking some shears and clippers down to their houses and cutting them back, or just taking a saw and cutting the whole thing down!

im just afraid of getting caught

phnarrr phnarrr

oh those bushes.

i thought you had gotton an eyeful at the pool lol!

LOL I thought this was about "ladygardens" from the title.
Get those shears out and knock on their doors and offer to do them a favour with the plants.

call the council - they will deal if it's blocking the path.

LOL at title of thread though.

If a bush is really overgrown and making difficult to get past, the council usually send you a letter to tell you to trim your bush. Maybe you should tell the council as they obviously haven't noticed yet.

There is a tree on our cul-de-sac that I have pruned because it was overhanging the pavement, but it is council responsibility so not the same as doing it outside somebody's garden.

That sounded really quite rude didn't it

I plan on getting my electric hedge trimmers to mine this weekend. I noticed it was overhanging in an unsightly manner yesterday.

rofl

I always keep me bush trim.

So did I LVoC!

But YANBU-it is immensely irritating-we keep ours trimmed at quite an expense and it annoys the hell out of me when others don't.

It really is worst in/after rain when you get slapped in the face with a wet branch.

to be serious though, the owners of the wayward hedge might be elderly and can't afford to pay a gardener at the moment? They might be waiting for a family member or frined to haev the time to help?

lol at getting slapped in face with wet branch, i laugh because it happens all the time

there bushes have been like this for about 3/4 years at least(s long as i have lived there)

i nearly put a not through their doors once but thought i would feel like a naughty schoolgirl running away in the darkness

one set are about 30/40ish with yound children and other is about 40ish with teenagers, i have seen them around(even made a point by exagerating having to duck under tree didnt make any differance(they prob just though 'stupid bitch')), theyre perfectly able, just lazy
