'Neighbour keeps complaining about my garden - so I blocked her view with an 8ft fence'

It doesn't matter whether you live in the cheapest or most expensive part of town, there's no guarantee you're going to get on with your neighbours. That's exactly what one man came to learn after moving into his late grandfather's house set within a quiet neighbourhood.

He explained how he tried to keep on top of the garden chores - but struggled to cut the grass every week due to working a full time job. Taking to Reddit, he said: "My grandpa passed away two years ago and I moved into his house. He was pretty healthy but he let the yard go down a bit, the grass was maintained but the trees were overgrown, his pond and patio was dirty.

"Our neighbour, years ago, sold their yard to a property builder. Our properties are in an L-shape so our neighbour was using our backyard as her 'virtual' backyard. For the past two years, I have been trying my best to maintain the backyard, while also working and dealing with my grandpa's stuff."
