Bloody tree hating neighbours

[Gettingbysomehow]

What's wrong with people? I live in a rural town where grass is replaced with gravel in almost every garden. There are hardly any trees and new estates are being slapped over every bit of spare land.
I believe that no matter how small your garden you should have a tree and a pond for wildlife. I have a flagpole cherry and a big tree that grows up like a pencil so goes up not out and I've put a nice wildlife pond in. None of these things impact the neighbours sun in any way and the autumn leaves only fall in my garden. No over hanging branches at all due to the trees upright habit.
God the moaning.....when are you going to cut those trees down. Get some fake grass, your pond solar fountain is too noisy ad nauseum. Then I got home to find my bird feeders had been thrown into the pond.
What have people got against nature!!!!
The offending neighbour has wall to wall fake grass, no water features and no other plants. Said he can't stand trees. Always has his stinking barbecue on and his dogs bark 24/7..

I am with you op. I planned my garden around welcoming birds and bugs. I find a bit of grass and grey decking bloody depressing and don’t even go there with the plastic crap. I have a friend who has as a plastic lawn/plastic plants and actually wipes down the fence weekly to get rid of the bugs and moss. I can’t even talk to her about her ‘garden’. Nothing nicer than seeing real nature at work.

1. Moron is an ableist slur.

In that case, please choose from the following list of words to denote people who consider nature unimportant despite dire warnings about environmental disaster:

Idiot
Ignorant fool
Selfish git
Criminal

Idiot is also ableist

Ignorant, perhaps. I have knowledge of environmental issues, and I do as much as I am able to, taking into account my disabilities.

I am not, however, a fool.

Selfish git - maybe, seen by others, except that I need to consider my own needs first and foremost and I am disabled and trees and a pond don't work for me in my own garden. I need flat, and low maintenance, and my garden is very small. I would not be able to get down to maintain a pond, and if there was a large tree the roots would be problematic. If a tree was to shed leaves, I would not be able to remove them, and I would be afraid of falling due to them especially when the ground (and the leaves themselves) is damp.

As far as I am aware, it is not, as yet, a criminal offence not to have a tree and a pond in one's private garden. Therefore that is inaccurate.
