Open burning of all waste (dry grass, tree cuts and other plant matter) is prohibited. As a reminder, green waste is collected every Monday from April 1 to November 30.

It is important to condition garden waste and place it on the sidewalk for collection by the service provider. Thus, the waste will become compost, which everyone can obtain for free in the recycling center.

It is in the spring that the surroundings of the properties require the most maintenance: hedge trimming, pruning of trees and shrubs, maintenance of plantations and lawns. Choosing the Property Maintenance Services Cheltenham there now.

The size of the hedges
It is appropriate for each inhabitant to trim his hedges around his property, to avoid dangerous situations (for example a pedestrian having to descend from the sidewalk to continue on his way).

Pruning trees and shrubs
Trees and shrubs must grow at a minimum distance of 2 meters from the dividing line if they are more than 2 meters high, and at a distance of 50 centimeters if their height is less than 2 meters.

If your tree's branches encroach on your neighbor's property, your neighbor may force you to cut them down. Be careful, however: he cannot do it himself, without the prior authorization of the owner or the judge. To carry out the pruning, you have a right to scale which authorizes you to go to your neighbor, in agreement with him.

Finally, know that if the branches of your fruit trees protrude from the neighbor, the fruits that grow there belong to you, your neighbor is not supposed to pick them. However, from the moment the fruits fall to the ground, on his land, they belong to him!

Note
In the absence of use or custom, the rules of the Civil Code apply… The vegetation of private individuals is in no way authorized to encroach on the public domain where it may constitute a nuisance, or even a danger, for walkers.

Salting
It is the responsibility of each inhabitant to clear snow from their doorstep.During the winter, salt and sand bins intended to deal with local difficulties as quickly as possible, are placed at various crossroads in the city. Useful for municipal agents in charge of maintaining the tracks, they are also available to residents, who can thus remove snow from the sidewalks surrounding their homes.
