Not every neighbour dispute starts with a major landscaping project - more often than not, it's the everyday garden habits that annoy neighbours. From mowing the lawn at the crack of dawn and letting hedges creep over the fence to installing outdoor lighting that shines into your neighbour's garden, small oversights can quickly become recurring irritations.
