Hedge trimming at property boundary

dinosaur66

ask the neighbours first/ they might be an old couple /as it looks like a bungalow next door and they most probably cannot maintain there own garden.

that is definatley not a hedge .

 if you offer to cut down the whole lot and take it away so just garden fence is left that would be good for both of you

ask permision can you climb over the fence to work in there garden.

i have done this on many properties.and never had a single person object /all glad to get rid of the weeds and bramble /most much worse than the photos.

easy to strip back to near floor level / then use a mattock to take out all the roots / then 30 bottles of vinegar from lidl for £10 if you do not like weedkiller / look to get some half ton bags / and then off to the dump /

Thanks Grumpy_chap. Do you have a source for what you said in the last paragraph?

This reference also refers mostly to trees but does include a paragraph about climbers (which the ivy is)

FWIW, I doubt Barratt Homes will have much interest if you contact them.

As above, I would be surprised if you get any sort of sensible response from Barrett, or any response at all….
