FENCING WHICH PART IS MINE ?

maggie · FENCING WHICH PART IS MINE ?

When i look out from my Patio doors which part of the fencing is legally mine the left or the right side?

We have renewed the left with next door neighbour

The fence with the posts in your garden is yours.

It really depends on where the fence is

If its inside the boundaryline. Its all yours

If it forms the boundary its shared.

In Wales you are resposible for the fence/wall to the left of your property looking out from the back of your house

It should be on your deeds who is responsible for it. The 'post' thing isnt as sure-fire nowadays, as some folk give the neighbours the 'rough' side of a new fence.

Mother what are you up to now???

Thanks all

The fence on the right is only about 4 foot tall but would like to put a higher one up for a bit of privacy

I'm sure the fence ownership and responsibility was in our house deeds when we bought.

and then get planning permission.. for a fence that goes on to a public path.

hbrac · Scarifying

The gardener said he was going to use the scarifier on the lawn today. We have lots of moss and the spikes are meant to aerate and pull out moss. I must admit it does look a bit better. Will he have to do it again? What is the next step? He put a feed down last week then he did this scarifying and cut the grass today.

P.S Meant to put this in a new topic..DOH. Feel free to move it.

Guest1

Ah...its right enough.

The lawn will really want scarifying again in spring...after a dose of moss-killer. This will shift the dead moss, and grasses that havent survived the frosts of winter.

I was reading the gardening section in the Mail today and it was one of the jobs to be done now. It did say to put soil and sand down after scarifying but the gardener didn't. Does it matter? It also mentioned putting grass seed down. When?

Guest1

hil. the 'dressing' (soil/sand) is to basicaly level off the ground after scarifying. Its not crucial in a bog standard lawn. If you re-seed, you need to do it very quick as it will soon be too cold. The re-seeding is to cover thin or bald patches. If you havent any - theres nowt to worry about.

hbrac

Do I just buy a box of grass seed and dig it in?

Guest1

No, you scatter it like corn over thin or bald patches. You first need to add a bit of soil if the ground is uneven....or, loosen the surface with a wire rake. then go over it again with the back of the rake once the seed has been thrown, to cover it up. Then, keep it moist.

hbrac

At the mo there are black areas where there has been moss. Should this have been killed off by the scarifying? Should I put the grass seed down anyway? Is there one type of grass seed?

Guest1

Scarifying doesnt kill anything. If its black, its moss that must have been killed by the lawn treatment. There are loads of seed types. You want to get a fineish but hard wearing seed from the nursury etc. Then, do the bit with either more soil, or raking as ive previously suggested.

OK. Thanks Mick. I will go out and have a look.
