The first photo shows the space between my CV and my neighbor’s. If you draw a line along the left side of the sidewalk and extend it down through the front lawn, everything to the right is my property and my responsibility. Everything to the left is my neighbor’s. That is my belief, and what I’ve been told. Easier to look at a picture than to read through technical jargon trying to describe it! I believe, too, that the bushes to the left of the sidewalk are on my neighbor’s property and their responsibility (2nd photo).
As you go through the gate toward the rear of the house (3rd photo), I believe my property line ends at the left side of the sidewalk since it’s only reasonable that my neighbor would need maintenance access to his side of the house. I don’t know if that is the neighbor’s property, ‘common’ property, or if it’s controlled by an easement. However, I do believe the rocky area with the plants is my responsibility to maintain since the sprinklers which water the plants are on my sprinkler system.
Thanks for any clarification -- perhaps it’s easier to comment on a photo than a blueprint.
