Gardening is usually simple and straightforward, but not sticking to some golden rules could land you in hot water with your neighbours, who could issue legal action against you.
Luckily, experts at Garden Buildings Direct have put together a list of the common legal pitfalls you can face as a gardener, as well as sharing ways you can be a better neighbour.
A spokesperson for the company said: “Most of us want to be good, law-abiding neighbours, but that can be difficult if we don’t actually know what the law is.
“There may be times when it would be within your legal rights to do something, but it could cause tensions with your neighbour.
“We’d always advise trying to come to a neighbourly solution first, as this is always preferable to having to call in the lawyers.
“If you brush up on the law as it stands, you may be able to avoid any sort of dispute altogether, which is always the ideal solution.”
