A first-person account of a neighborhood conflict over lawn maintenance and property boundaries. The speaker describes repeated incidents where a lawn-care crew (used by a neighbor) mowed a shared/split strip of grass, despite markers and caution tape indicating the property line, leading to heated confrontations and an escalating 'lawn war'.
I need to have a conversation with you. My neighbor, she uses your service. The guys are really nice, which I had an issue last summer. We shared, like, 10ft between our houses, and there's a strip of grass down through there. And I've told them over and over and over that that is not mostly her lawn. It's not. She has access by her garage. They didn't come this week, or I was going to head them off out there. And I've left a string down and markers on the property line. I've even put up one of those red caution things at the back fence so they can sit right to mow. So, anyway. And Idris. Oh, my God. I sent Lynette a text and told her, is it okay if I just go ahead and mow right across the front out here, you think? She walked outside and said, thank you. He told me to never mow her lawn again and to stay off of it. So I'm telling you that we got a little war going on here.
