...My next-door neighbor keeps his yard like a jungle. Is there something I can do to make him clean it up, For God's sake I'll even help him!!
Reason why I wish him to clean up, is that we live in a tropical area and I am just concerned that we might get snakes or such because of that mess!
P.S
No, we don't have Homeowner Association

No, they are not elderly or disabled. The man is about 40 and his wife is younger, they have one daughter...Yes we are talking but we don't socialize, I mean, going out together or visit each other...Now, this is funny, he keeps his front yard spotless!!!!!

I recently changed my fence, and I also was shocked to see how my surrounding neighbors keep their yard...One of them had an old range and an old fridge in his back yard all rusted and dirty, was not a pretty picture, now what can you do..I don't know..did you try to talk to them? Offer them your help, just make sure that you know if there is a reason why they don't clean?
Disabled or sick, they might be elderly?

The city may very well have some ordinances against allowing the yard to be out of control. A quick call to City Hall will get you the answer. You have a good idea with helping your neighbor, but he might become dependent on your help in the future. How old is your neighbor, is he handicapped, or poor? Things to take into consideration.

In a nice way try and talk to him, and tell him how you feel about snakes, etc. and offer at that time to help, or maybe you can chip in and get someone to do it all for you. Depends on what kind of a person you are dealing with, these days you have to be careful not of offend anyone.

That totally stinks...and it brings down the value of your property. I feel for you. You didnt say if you were on talking terms...if you are maybe you could bring up the the snake issue...maybe you've seen one in your yard and wondering if he had the same problem since he has plenty of places for them to hide. You can also call someone in the city and ask who to complain to as well...
Good luck

If you live in a city and it has a city code compliance office, they can help.
If you're in the county with no restrictions good luck. Ask him if you can help -
if you can afford, even offer to pay to have it hauled off.
