Gardening expert reveals vital step to keeping your lawn green and healthy during the summer heat
While some of these laws could land you with a fine of up to £20,000 in extreme cases, a friendly chat with your neighbours can usually resolve any issues.
Tree removal and pruning: If you have a tree in your garden you want to get rid of you better think twice and do your research.
The gardening experts reveal: 'If one neighbour wishes to remove or heavily prune a tree that the other neighbour values, disputes can arise over the impact on the view, shade, or privacy. "
While it might cause a row, if it is in your property boundary it is ultimately your choice, unless it has a Tree Protection Order on it.
'But, some trees may be protected by a Tree Protection Order which makes it an offence to uproot, top or destroy them, the experts warn.
The maximum fine for breaking this law is £20,000, so make sure you double check if it does have a TPO.
You can find out by contacting your local council for a map that shows this information. Alternatively, you can ask to speak with your local tree officer.
Property boundaries and fences: One of the main causes of neighbours falling out is through arguing over property boundaries and fencing.
To avoid this situation, the gardening pros recommend checking the deeds of your property to determine the correct boundaries
'Most of the time, it's easy to determine who owns the fence as the fence posts will usually be on the owners side," they add.
'Additionally, the height of fences or hedges can cause disputes between neighbours if one party feels the height has exceeded the two metre guidance.
"Hedges and fences should be no more than two metres high, and you could be asked by the council to take them down if a neighbour complains about the height.
"Luckily, standard fence sizes are less than two metres tall so you shouldn't have a problem.'
Garden structures and additions: A pergola is the perfect addition to a garden if you want somewhere to relax in the shade.
But if it obstructs your neighbour's view or violates local building regulations it could cause a dispute, as can sheds and other garden structures.
'If you're not sure, have a chat with your neighbours to let them know what you're planning and, if there's an issue, get in touch with your local council who can give you more guidance," advise the gardening experts.
Overhanging branches and plants: 'When branches, vines, or roots from one neighbour's tree or plant extend into the neighbouring property, it can lead to disagreements over potential damage to structures, blocked views, or the burden of maintenance," reveal the pros.
However, it's important to note you can only trim overhanging branches up to the boundary of your property otherwise, it could be seen as trespassing.
You can climb into the tree to carry out the work if needed, but only on your property and make sure to stay on your side of the fence if you don't have permission to enter your neighbours garden.

New plans for Midlothian split-level slope houses near site of old mill lade
Our community members are treated to special offers, promotions and adverts from us and our partners. You can check out at any time. More info Developers have launched a fresh bid to build a trio of houses on a slope in Penicuik next to a former mill lade, removing half the trees on the site. The latest application for housing on the land at Cairnbank Road, in the town, addresses concerns from Midlothian council who said there was not enough garden space and a lack of privacy. And it confirms that 17 of the 33 trees on the land which are under a Tree Protection Order (TPO)would be removed but offers to replace them with new planting. The application says: "While the proposal relies on the removal of 17 trees the applicant accepts the letter and spirit of the TPO and is prepared to accept a condition requiring replanting of two trees for every one removed." It seeks permission to also remove the former mill lade and fill it in saying: "The former mill lade has already ceased to exist in all but torrential downpours of rain. It is proposed to remove it completely by infilling a small section of the channel within the application site with rock of a hard hue and soil. "The removal of the former lade opens the whole garden to beneficial use for residential amenity." The application is the second this year proposing the three split level homes which will be built down the slope with entrance and driveways from the road above. In April planners refused permission for the houses saying they were too big, out of character and did not provide enough amenity for residents whose gardens would be overlooked by their neighbours. And they said a request for an assessment of the impact on protected trees and hedgerow on the site had not been provided. Two yeas ago applications were also refused for plans to build four houses on the site with plans to retain the former mill lade and build footbridges over it as part of the gardens of the new homes. The initial proposals were rejected and at an appeal hearing at the council's Local Review Body, where one councillor said the sloping gardens with a bridge at the bottom felt 'unsafe'. The current application says the new homes will be designed over three floors. It says: "Living accommodation is incorporated mainly in the top two levels. Together they account for two of the three bedrooms, three of the four bathrooms, the kitchen and dining space, and the primary living space. The ground floor incorporates a single ensuite bedroom and a small lounge." The application is available to view on the Midlothian Council planning portal.

People face £5,000 fine for breaking '8am to 1pm' rule on Saturdays
Our community members are treated to special offers, promotions and adverts from us and our partners. You can check out at any time. More info As the summer season draws near, Brits are being reminded to be mindful of noise laws as they spend more time in their gardens and host outdoor gatherings. UK households could face fines of up to £5,000 for breaching '8am to 1pm' noise restrictions on Saturdays. Yet nearly half (48%) of UK citizens remain unaware of these household noise laws designed to prevent excessive disturbances. Under current UK regulations, noise levels must be kept to a minimum between 11pm and 7am to ensure peace during night time hours. This restriction covers a wide range of common noise sources, including loud music, parties, barking dogs, vehicle noises and machinery sounds such as lawnmowers and even washing machines. For more property stories sent to your inbox twice a week sign up to the property newsletter here. There are also laws that regulate construction work to limit excessive noise disruption between 8am and 6pm from Monday to Fridays, 8am to 1pm on Saturdays and prohibit any works on Sundays, reports the Daily Record. If you break any of these rules, you could end up with an abatement notice - essentially an official warning requiring the offender to stop the noise disturbance. Ignoring this could result in court action and a fine of up to £5,000. These measures aim to maintain community peace and ensure that noise disruptions are kept under control. (Image: Getty Images) According to the specialists at Toolstation, a statutory nuisance is defined as noise, pollution (such as light or air), or any other disturbances that seriously and unreasonably interfere with a person's enjoyment of their home or potentially harm someone's health. If you're causing a noise disturbance and fail to adhere to the rules, your local council has the power to issue a formal warning notice. This notice provides an opportunity to address and rectify the problem. (Image: Getty Images) However, if you fail to resolve the issue after receiving the warning - and cannot provide a valid reason for the disturbance - you may be issued with a fixed penalty notice. This notice carries a fine - up to £110 for a residential property, or up to £500 for commercial premises such as pubs or clubs. Once issued, individuals have a 14-day period to pay the fine. If the fine isn't paid within the specified time limit, or in some instances, if the council decides to bypass the penalty notice altogether, they can escalate the matter to court. If found guilty, the financial penalties can increase significantly. Homeowners can face fines of up to £1,000, while businesses - particularly licensed venues - can face unlimited fines depending on the severity of the offence. In more serious cases, authorities also have the power to seize noisy equipment, such as loudspeakers or sound systems, to prevent further disturbances.
