That sucks, I hate neighbors. Nice looking grass though

My driveway was for some reason the community driveway for ppl to use to turn around and this just kept happening to the point that I now leave my car at the end of the driveway to try and prevent it.

Lady couple houses down drives a Titan and constantly flies in and out of other peoples driveways and is always driving over grass which she clearly knows she's doing but doesn't give AF

I did a complete reno last fall. May a month or so after that, we had some work get done for out front/back door steps. I went to work while the workers did their thing. Came back home and found a lot of cement all over my newly growing baby grass (they were mixing stuff in their equipment on my lawn...). It got to the point where not I've bare spots around the front/back doors. :facepalm: A lesson learned. :thumbup:

Came home yesterday to this... Some peoples kids I tell ya.



After I had irrigation installed last year, I had to fix some areas with plugs, seed, peat moss...

About a week later, the mail truck apparently drives over the hellstrip I had just fixed, and there's this rut that looks like yours. I had to dig up all the new grass that was rooting nicely by that time, and re-level the soil underneath.

I also feel your pain. This happened to me 6 months after a reno.


That was done to create a patio. I knew that it was going to happen, but it still made me sick (and still does). If I were the contractor, I wouldn't have agreed to do the work :lol:

The vast majority of that grass has recovered by this point.

ya, really feeling your pain here.

What is that from!
THAT + so much more, led to a tree-trimmers insurance co. having to shell out 4 grand that I am applying to a complete renovation of my yard, beginning in 2 weeks. Moral of the story: make sure a business stepping foot. on your property has insurance before they begin any work.
I had a somewhat similar situation a couple years ago before I reno'd my back the first time. I had a big maple in the back that the company I hired requested I let bring a truck back and guaranteed wouldn't cause damage since they used steel plates to drive on.

After running everything through the chipper and filling up the truck they tried reversing out with the chipper still attached and after several failed attempts the truck slid off the plates and got stuck to the point they had to call a big tow truck to pull from street using pulley.

As I was taking pics of damage the guy actually said some top soil and seed will fix that right up and we'll finish tomorrow. I said get the F off my property and good luck getting paid. The owner called me a few times and tried to scare me into paying him and I finally just said sue and in the end saved the 2k I would have paid.

Moral of my story, if you're going to pay to get trees cut down do it before you Reno 👍
