Especially natural ones like hedges. I posted a while back about the benefits of planting Leyland Cypress, which can literally grow 3 feet per season. In no time you have a formidable (and attractive) natural barrierCa1v1nhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05637831959213080411noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3947497.post-83588277916534999502009-02-16T20:04:00.000-05:002009-02-16T20:04:00.000-05:00Its clear reasoning has got you no where and the a...Its clear reasoning has got you no where and the authourities are politely trying to tell you they have better things (in their opinion) to do than to resolve the dispute with your neighbours. <BR/> You really have only two options, increased security combined with vigilance (cameras etc) and hope they move...or just move yourself. Sure you may always end up with crappy neighbours if you move but whats the chance you end up with ones as bad as you have now? <BR/> Years ago my wife and I were weighing the pros and cons of renovating our existing house or building. Some jackasss moved in behind us and in 3 months made our daily lives very difficult. We decided to move. 6 years on its still a decision we have never regretted.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3947497.post-60453689611365710722009-02-15T14:49:00.000-05:002009-02-15T14:49:00.000-05:00Reasoning with them has gotten you nowhere and the...Reasoning with them has gotten you nowhere and the authorities don't seem to care about intervening. So confrontation and continually involving the cops won't work.<BR/><BR/>The next step would be to put up as many physical barriers as possible. Fences and bushes work wonders. I'm not sure about the layout of your yard, but if you can invest in some tall arborvitae, place as many between you and them as you can. It might also cut down on them traipsing across your yard to get to their cars. <BR/><BR/>Fences also work wonders. Hire someone to survey your property and then hire someone to build a six foot high fence. It won't prevent them from letting their dog poop on your lawn, but it will give you some control.<BR/><BR/>Also, Bamboo. I don't know where you live but if you can grow running bamboo, plant some right near the line. <BR/><BR/>Just remember no matter where one moves to there will always be at least one set of awful neighbors. If you move you are most likely going to run into a new set (And they could be even worse). <BR/><BR/>Good luck!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3947497.post-35810069023069281682009-02-14T13:02:00.000-05:002009-02-14T13:02:00.000-05:00Maybe police don't act because they know that half...Maybe police don't act because they know that half the time it is one person's word against another in these things. Have you considered CCTV? A camera and DVR are quite cheap and you can view recordings on your TV.

There is no strength or power except in God. Rather turn to Creator than to creation for help. He has control over all hearts. He can change a arch enemy into bossum friend. Ignore their gimmicks.He will subdue them. A thought may be passing your mind "that it is easily said than done". I'm telling you out of my experience.<BR/><A HREF="http://www.thedynamicnature.com" REL="nofollow"> http://www.thedynamicnature.com </A>Mahmood Syed Faheemhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06625037159131436398noreply@blogger.com
