  So from the looks of the image it’s an Arborvitae or similar. If it’s real he killed it by cutting back to the wood, then patted himself on the back.

    If you’re growing something next to the sidewalk that can’t be trimmed back to not block the sidewalk, fuck you and your plant

      If you’re going for some kind of moral victory, don’t kill the plant. Go to the council or whatever authority is relevant in your area and force the owners to take care of their shit through legal means. There’s probably some kind of accessibility law you can press to clear the curb of tree branches.

      Cutting up random people’s plants is an excellent way to run head first into tree law. Replacing these plants isn’t cheap. The guy did extensive damage to a bunch of hedges with no warning or communication beforehand, and got angry when approached.

      If you’re going to risk breaking tree laws, at least don’t put your name and picture in the news.

      He cut it down without communicating with the neighbours at all

      They could have found a better solution but instead he decided to be arrogant and use his “solution” instead of working with the neighbours to find a better solution

      I have linked the article in another comment of mine

    Based on the original article the guy left a trail of destruction. Clearly has no idea how to properly cut or maintain hedges.

    The original article mentions at least one address, and based on Streetview from two years ago I don’t get the impression that these people don’t maintain their hedges at all. There are clear signs of work having been done either by people who have been doing so for a while or by some kind of landscaping company.

    To me, this looks more like a “bored, grumpy old man destroys peoples’ hedges” story.

  If you want something done right, do it yourself?

    Yeah but it might be a bears favour.

    Old guy does job. Municipality don’t see the problem. Municipality don’t budget with the cost of getting the job done. Old guy stops doing it for whatever reason. Job doesn’t get done. Municipality can’t find money to do it in their budget. Job doesn’t get done.
