Posting on Reddit, on the r/LegalAdviceUK thread, the man, who writes under the username @Chris-X-, titled his post ‘Our neighbour keeps coming on to our property to do garden work without permission - is he trespassing?’. He then questioned: “[My] neighbour keeps coming onto our rental property without permission to do gardening on the borders of our properties due to our poor upkeep. Is it trespassing or does he have a right to do that?”.

Eager to share some context on the situation, the dad-of-two, who lives in England in a rental house with “quite a large garden” explained that while he and his partner are responsible for the upkeep of of the garden, they have “struggled with this” as they have two young children, both with diagnosed ADHD and mental health struggles.
He shared: “We have recently made some big efforts in the upkeep and have done a lot of work to it, however we have always struggled particularly with the brambles on the border of the property. “The letting agents did send gardeners around last year but they didn't do a great job and they grew back again this year and grew over and through the fence which borders onto our neighbour's property, which is an external garage where he spends a lot of time doing hobbyist DIY type stuff. There's also a tree which overhangs onto his property.”.
