Advice on the new neighbors
Okay, so I just moved into the neighborhood about 6 months ago. The people next to me just moved in about 1 month ago.

How do I tell them, I've never met them by the way, that they need to mow their backyard without coming across like a dickhead neighbor. Having never met them, I don't want to start things off on a bad foot, but their lawn is shin high and it's starting to piss me off.

Interestingly, they have mowed the front lawn twice.

Quick call to police and our town does have an ordinance on lawn height. Still don't know what it is yet and haven't decided whether or not to do it myself or let the Popo deal with him, but the code guy is Option 3.

Yeah... that's part of the problem. I'd rather be upfront about it, but I don't want the first time I meet them to be, "Oh, and by the way, your yard looks like crap. Can you mow that shit or what?"

We had the same problem when we got a new neighbor.


I ended up mowing their back yard, and when he came over to apologize/thank me I just told him,"You just moved in, you are busy, this is our way of saying 'Welcome to the Neighborhood'". We proceeded to have a beer together.


The guy never let his lawn grow high again. People are strange, they would rather please a person they like/respect then apease an asshole next door.

I'll give you another option.

I'm looking for a career change.

Asshole for hire.

Pay expenses and a small fee, and I'll tell your neighbor.

Why have you waited so long to meet them and introduce yourself?

They're rarely home when I'm home. Just hasn't happened. We met the other folks very early on.

That's a pretty good solution.

---- search for grass, it's the top option


Sec. 12-61. - Overgrown grass or weeds prohibited and declared a nuisance.

It shall be unlawful and declared a nuisance and injurious to public health, safety and general welfare for any occupant, owner, lessee, or person in control of any property within the city or any occupant, owner, lessee or person in control whose property abuts city streets to allow an abundance of overgrown grass or weeds to exist if any of the following conditions are met: (1) the grass or weeds provide breeding grounds and shelter for rats, mice, snakes, mosquitoes and other vermin, insects and pests; (2) the grass or weeds attain such heights and dryness so as to constitute serious fire threat or hazard; (3) the grass or weeds bear wingy or downy seeds, when mature, that cause the spread of weeds, and when breathed, irritation to the throat, lungs and eyes of the public; (4) the grass or weeds are capable of hiding debris, such as broken glass or metal, which could inflict injury on any person going upon the property; (5) the grass or weeds are unsightly; or (6) if not grown as ornamental plant growth, the grass or weeds exceed 12 inches in height. Said property shall include, but not be limited to, sidewalks, city right-of-way strips, alleys, parking lots, driveways, grounds, fences, walls, property lines, privately owned storm drains, and vacant lots within the city.



EDIT: If their grass violates any of these, it's breaking the law.

I'll tell you what, tell the cops i saw a rat come out of their yard. There, now it's against the law.

I agree...introduce yourself, welcome them to the neighborhood, then ask them if they need any help with anything like mowing the lawn, etc....

Assume much?

These new neighbors being "habitual offenders wherever they go" is only 1 of about 648 reasons that their lawn could be long.

Instead of playing psychic for a day, he should just go and ask them. You'll be amazed at what human contact can reveal.
