Courtyard Villa 'Alley'
 

Would I be allowed to install one or two of these near my side of the house but in the neighbor's alley?

Their water sprinkler is hitting my house; they are snowbirds and did not seem too keen on the idea.

thank you,

Just adjust the sprinklers or change the heads.

I guess I need to wait until I meet them in person...thank you!!

I hope you get your issue solved. I really don't think you would be out of line making adjustments to the sprinkler heads as they are impacting your villa. Good luck.

I hope it’s not stucco and has cracks? If they cause water damage they will be responsible.

That foot alley is restricted drainage area along you’re house. You’re neighbor can’t have anything touching you’re house or fill in that area with concrete slab or paver blocks, also plants can’t be touching either. File complaint see how keen they are on that idea?

In my opinion, it would not be allowed under the deed restrictions. I would suggest you read the deed restriction document very carefully. There are two sections that describe the "driveway easement" and the "side yard easement". In the case you described, your neighbor is called the "dominant tenant" and has the exclusive right (with certain exceptions) to use the property adjacent to your house, even though you own part of that property. I don't think you have the right to place anything on that part of your property. But, your neighbor should adjust their sprinklers so they don't stain your house. Also, you need to be aware that, if one of those sprinkler heads breaks off, it can create a geyser that can spray water under your eave and flood your house.

And the neighbor would be responsible for damage caused by irrigation system.

Just do this. For the same price you could switch out the head to a 180 or 90 or simply turn it so it doesn't hit your wall. If you do it right, they won't even notice.

The water shouldn't be hitting your wall, so if it is, you don't need to wait until January to fix it. Ultimately I'd get to know them enough that issues like this would never be a problem again. "Hey Tom, you have a sprinkler that blew out and was using a ton of water, I fixed it." "Thanks Jerry!, I'll make it up to you next time we're down" "Great, You buy the steaks, I'll grill 'em" "Awesome, look forward to seeing you soon"

Do your neighbours really want to waste and pay for the water. that is splashing on your house? I would ask them . Also you can re set the top of the sprinklers with a small turn and air them back to their house

How did you know they weren't too keen on your idea?
Easily remedied by the neighbor by adjusting the heads of the sprinklers hitting your house.

A nice letter asking permission First to adjust the heats .

It could be that they are using the wrong type of sprinkler head in that location. It is usually a linear strip of plants that requires a special sprinkler head that sprays in two directions, left and right, but doesn't spray toward the exterior wall or toward the sidewalk. ACE Hardware can advise you about what type of head should be used there. If they are using the wrong type, I would take a photo while the system is on and ask the owner to replace the heads with the correct type.

The sprinkler installation company places the wrong head on the outlet. They should do the replacement

You should suggest this to your neighbors. If they won't do anything, if it were me, I would go ahead and make the adjustments myself!

I saw a home on my morning walk with a broken irrigation head. Snow birds. I contacted community watch and they made contact with owners. Might be worth a try.

Sometimes the “problems” reported here amaze me. Just go and adjust the spray pattern of the sprinklers. You don’t even need a tool. It’ll take about two minutes. Don’t make mountains out of mole hills.

I agree - just do it! You have no way of knowing their reaction - why open a can of worms? You might be sorry.

That will work, if they have the correct, 2-way sprinkler heads. If not, you will be spraying your house or the sidewalk, or not watering the plants properly.

sure, go ahead.

For $5 put them in and take them out if they object!

Get a bigger sprinkler head, and i mean BIGGER, aim for the house! :MOJE_whot::a040::1rotfl:

I recommend you contact Community Standards (352) 751-3912. ANY changes or improvements to the exterior of your home or yard need Community Standards approval.

I believe the neighbor would only be responsible if you advise them of the issue IN WRITING. You might also include in your letter a couple of solutions. One that I didn't see (but may have missed), is you planting something next to your house (but don't let it touch your house), to block the water.They wouldn't be able to stop that, and I think that all areas of TV allow planting next to your house, but you should verify that. At this point, I can't see a problem with just adjusting the sprinkler heads, especially if they aren't here to handle it themselves. I can't visualize how those green things would look, or work, based on the pictures.

Is the water interfearing with your ability to lounge and relax in your yard?? Is rhe water causing ANY damage?? How often do his sprinkler go on? And for how ling? Have YOU taught your neighbor how to adjust the sprinkler? It could be a miserable life waring with your neighbor.

Slaughter a live chicken under a full moon and sprinkle the blood along the shared wall. Boom no more problem

You DO NOT need any approval from the ARC to change out an irrigation head let alone adjust one or all of them !

The neighbor might object, though.......

Wow, that would be pretty neat. I never knew they made such a thing. Thanks.

Spot on. It is really easy to adjust and or replace the head. They only cost a couple
 

This is spot on. Very easy to replace/adjust head.

Do you want to fish or just cut bait?

Fix the sprinklers or have them fixed. I imagine there cannot be more than two spraying your house. My husband will be eighty his next birthday and replaced all of the sprinkler heads in our yard.

Let it continue to spray and stain your house or use common sense. If you need a "mother may I" look up the person's phone number or ask a neighbor.

The sprinkler guard you are suggesting is small (12” x 6” x 5”) and shouldn’t be too obvious. I’m guessing that since your neighbors are snowbirds, they are not here to adjust or replace the head(s) and you don’t have access to their controller so you could do it yourself (if you had their permission). Seems like the solution you suggest could be a good short term solution until they return and you can discuss it directly with them. You do have the right to protect your house.

amen

There should be 180 degree heads in that ally , than the neighbors home would not get except if the winds blows.
Placing something on your neighbors property without their permission is not a good idea.
