OP, have you called the Sheriffs office? There are trespass laws if you choose to pursue the issue.

I agree to get down between 99% houses you have to trespass on neighbors property. Some you can’t even turn around push mower with out encroaching.

Do I really have to get legal and take both the neighbor and the landscaper to small claims court? Seems like good manors would dictate they ask if any damage was done and just repair it. Is there any venue to report this at the villages?
Definitely ! A little common courtesy, decency, respect would go a long way, same with dog poop, taking care of damage you do like the sod ruined, ruts, even broken sprinkler pipes over and over from the neighbor's lawn people who simply don't care. Some people on here disagree, but, it has NOT always been like this, things/people have definitely changed. Do any of you still have villages where you get together every Friday night , or other night, on someone's drive, informally visiting on a regular basis like we used to ? I know we hardly know our neighbors any more, let alone the way people came immediately to our door when we moved in, offered all kinds of help (I remember we had a few day with nothing we could put up to cover the windows, someone on the block was knocking on door with the most unique "temporary" blinds to loan us. What changed, it's not all the virus, this less friendly home town did not start just with the virus.

Also spoke to landscaper - first time he said he would slow down and be more careful - he did - one time! Next time he was right back driving on the irrigation line and dissed me when I pointed it out to him.

Since we are snowbirds there is not much we can do from a distance. However...my lawn cutter has promised to install short flagged/decorated pieces of metal rebar alongside my irrigation line several feet apart making it necessary for the offending lawn cutter to avoid the line or suffer the damage to his equipment. We're fortunate that my lawn cutter does not mind having to weed whack that rebar - but he resents being blamed for the rut by my offending neighbor! We are also fortunate that we live on the historic side where deed restrictions are not as restrictive as other villages! Am thinking that when we return we will design some type of planting between the properties [with the assistance of ARC] that will be pleasant to look at.
I'll help you out. Lemme know if you need help. I gotta a guy, he's from back home. I know it's not funny. It sucks when adults act like children and don't respect! He'll offer some corrective incentive to them. He yelled at you? We can't have that now, can we?

True but if you dont try and talk to them, youll never know. Start out as an adult and try and resolve it before running all over the Villages contacting people to come to your aid

To the person who suggested not calling on Villages staff to enforce the rules I ask: When you politely make an attempt to explain to the offender that an encroachment needs to be fixed and the neighbor absolutely refuses and threatens you with physical violence you can either call "Deeds Restrictions" or the police. I personally try "Deeds Restriction" first. I realize that some of these chronic offenders always need to "win" and will remedy the violation for a week and then do the same violation again and fight with the Deeds Restriction employees who are only doing their job. I hope the offenders realize that after 3 complaints about the same thing they will get fined. How would you handle this?

A large part of the problem with many of the suggestions is that people lose track of what the goal is. What winning is. Wining is not trying to teach people a lesson.
Winning is having the damage repaired, you cannot undo the damage Wining is also
getting it done without creating a hostile relationship. There is a great skill in doing this.
Sometimes it is impossible to do.

As I read through posts on any topic one where the person says, I did not realize I was wrong and how and why it is important to others.

Hmmmm... knowing my hubby this landscaper would have ONE chance of changing their habit of using our lawn to get to the other person’s property. We don’t have shared property with our neighbors and I am allergic to trespassers in general. Utility workers etc of course have clear easy access.

There is conflict everywhere. As a friend has said people do not get better as they get older they get worse We have choices.

Before moving to the villages, I became aware of an island you could buy off North Carolina. We did not look but the house looked to be in good shape. It came with a small herd of wild horses. It was several acres, I'm not sure how they measure that at high or low tide. It was one million dollars. Far different than the villages. Potential neighbor disputes. He might get a boat.

Thank you for agreeing with me on this! I hope that you are getting a lot of topspin on your strokes!
