Adjoining gardens

Options
My new nextdoor neighbour is choosing to neglect his garden which joins my driveway. It looks bad, is full of weeds and overgrown bushes. Am I within my rights to tidy this part of his garden or am I dependent on his goodwill to take care of it?

    Yes talk to him. He will let you spend time and effort doing the work. As you posted in the "Local Money Saving. Spotted a local bargain? Let local MoneySavers know!" Forum?   I am sure he will be delighted in saving by letting you do it. :D
