Even if you're close friends with your neighbors, there are some things that can bring up awkward situations. Take nature, for example. It's not uncommon for ivy to make its way from your neighbor's yard into your own, whether you want it there or not.
In the unfortunate case you aren't fond of your neighbor's ivy, you may be tempted to prune the ivy to get rid of it. However, doing so could land you in some legal trouble. Of course, this isn't always the case, as regulations allow you to prune your neighbor's ivy up to a certain point.
