Having a lawn that is contiguous with my neighbor's is tricky, I tell you. If they mow, should I hurry out and mow too so it doesn't look all messy? Do they hate it when I use the broadcast-spreader because their side gets fertilized when they don't want it to be? Is it rude to stop edging right at the property line? What if I accidently mow a row a little too far across? Eek! Not wanting to get iron stains all over the driveway I decided to use the drop spreader last time I fertilized and look what happened! Now I look like the totally selfish neighbor who didn't want to share even a sprinkle of fertilizer. Good grief.
I have edged all the way across, can't stop myself. I avoid all eye-contact with the neighbors post-edging.
You lawn looks lovely! My new neighbor is redoing the flower beds and I told her to just do whatever she wished with the landscaping, which is good because the sprinklers are bad and part of my lawn is dying, I mean really dying, but hopefully soon she will pull it all back from the brink. So edging all the way across - I say good. :)
ReplyDeleteWhy don't you have some sort of natural perimeter on your lawn, like shrubbery or flowers or other plants? That way you don't have grass right next to grass. It's their lawn so they can do, or not do, as they please. If they wanted it to look identical to yours then you'd need to have a discussion and not just assume that they'd want their lawn fertilized, edged, mowed, etc.
