Neighbors twice weekly place their trash butted against my property line. The trash ALWAYS blows/comes in to my yard. The man has come on to my property and cut limbs out of my trees (at the trunk) so his flailing shrubs can get light--after I told him NO. Their cat comes in my yard and there is a leash law in our subdivision. And, finally, their children (they have 3 ages 1-12) throw toys in my yard. I've put up a no trespassing sign but they took it down off my fence. I'm really at my wits end here. I've asked them to stop putting trash in my yard and now they're rude ... they think they're not doing anything wrong. The driveways to our homes are relatively close so I always hear them coming and going. They don't have a patio so they use their driveway as a patio and have placed their children's toys out there for them to play (BIG basketball goal). I'm praying they move..... what can I do to protect myself from these awful neighbors? Help

Fences make for good neighbors.

If nothing else I'd imagine there's some action you could take against their cat coming in your yard - I had a neighbor once who caught my cat in a carrier and threatened to take her to the pound, thankfully we talked her out of it (it was killing her "pet" squirrels)... so if you want to get dirty, that'd be the way to do it... it's mean, but it's one way to show them you mean business. Not to say I want the cat to be killed or anything, but you know what I mean. :( Sorry to hear you have such crappy neighbors, I know the feeling but not to the extent you describe!

looks like you don't want any relation with these neighbours, and why would you, they're mean to you also. so just screw whatever they do, if you see toys in your property throw it out, if they throw trash at ur property go do the same (tit for tat) n if you dont want to be rude, just go tell them politely time n again.

They don't sound that bad to me, in fact you sound a little picky. You can put up a fence Honey if they bother you this much, about four feet high, make sure it meets the County and sub-divisian guidlines and County zoning.
