Is vegetation encroaching on your house?
Happy Easter neighbours!
With daylight savings ending tomorrow, it made me think more about light and then the number of properties I see, where vegetation is encroaching on the house.
Although being good for privacy, a nice view and a feeling of coziness and sanctuary; trees, shrubs and other vegetation growing close to your property can create a number of problems including:
- letting less light in through the windows by blocking the sun,
- creating dark, cold and damp spaces inside and out (leading to mould and mildew, lichen, algae and moss)
- damage to the house on windy days, such as painted weatherboards and guttering
- creating a bridge for rodents to access the roof and
- unnecessarily clogging up gutters with leaves etc
We can sort this for you by cutting back, topping, trimming and clearing vegatation and can then remedy issue created by the damp and dark through washing the house and waterblasting slippery paths (a good idea leading into winter).

Poll: Should all neighbours have to contribute to improvements?
An Auckland court has ruled a woman doesn’t have to contribute towards the cost of fixing a driveway she shares with 10 neighbours.
When thinking about fences, driveways or tree felling, for example, do you think all neighbours should have to pay if the improvements directly benefit them?
