    Who owns the hedge between two driveways?

    Can someone tell me if the hedge is my responsibility or not? If I’m standing on my property looking at the road then my house is on the left side and theirs is on the right. They never seem to cut the hedge so I always end up doing it and I’m getting fed up so I want to just get rid altogether.

    Best way to get your garden done on a budget

    What alternatives/choices do I have at my disposal should I wish to have my garden rebuilt but I don’t have the money right now to have the job done all at once? I suppose what I mean is, is there a way to have half the job done without the garden looking like it’s half-finished? Maybe an intelligent approach could be used to achieve this?
