A frustrated homeowner posted a surveillance video on the r/lawncare subreddit that showed a car driving through the poster's expansive green lawn, onto their driveway, then entering the road.

"This is beyond disrespectful," one commenter said.

Neighbor decides to drive around his house through my lawn and driveway

The original poster explained that the driver of the car was their neighbor, and that the car was blocked on the side and rear by another car. Instead of moving one of the cars so he could exit the driveway, the neighbor drove around the side of his house and through the OP's front yard toward the road.

There were visible tire marks in the OP's lawn, and they were upset because they put a lot of work and money into their lawn and found their neighbor's actions very disrespectful.

To repair the damage, the OP will likely need to use resources they otherwise wouldn't need to. 

It is unfortunate that difficult neighbors can sometimes act as a barrier for homeowners seeking eco-friendly home solutions, and often that includes yards and spaces between homes. 

One common point of complaint is that trees that have branches that overhang onto another property. While the neighbor has the right to trim a plant or tree and remove any part of it that is on their property, they cannot legally remove the entire tree. They may go as far as removing the tree illegally, causing conflict between neighbors. 

It can also be frustrating if you have a neighbor who plants invasive species in their yard that can overtake property lines above and do damage to your yard or home.

Neighbors' children or pets can also accidentally damage neighboring yards, causing frustration for homeowners whose lawns, gardens, or flowers are trampled or picked. 

Even adults can struggle to understand respectful behavior when it comes to neighboring yards, as was the case with the OP's neighbor.

Another advised, "Talk to them like a reasonable person … explain you don't appreciate it."
