I had no idea council workers actually did... work? That was my thought too! I can't believe someone did that to your brothers place! It almost sounds like it was a tradie that just wanted to park there ?? I agree with Lisanne, I was thinking it may be a tradie who just decided all the other spots in the area he wanted to park were taken so he'd just make his own arrangements. Thanks for bringing this up, the house next to us is due to have tradies recommence any day now (framing just about to start) and we would like to start doing bits and pieces to the front garden (read - dustbowl ) and we thought at the very least we could do the nature strip with some seed lawn but now I'm not so sure if all our work would be 'undone' anyways... Good luck and keep us posted. We have a house in Doreen. Built the PD Kensington 24 (with Alfresco & Rumpus option). We are in...Decorating in progress...pics to come soon...

But that's what I thought too Perdita I've had different neighbours do this over the years with no problems - one in particular who didn't like the Postie's bike tracks, so staked off her lawn for extended periods of time! lisanne I can't believe someone did that to your brothers place!

Grrrrr makes me mad thinking someone thinks that they have the right to do that to someone elses hard work 'A bottle of wine contains more philosophy than all the books in the world.'

I was hoping it was just done by the strong wind last night, but I'm told it was in tact at 6am this morning. Why do people hurt other people's stuff? I'm sure the lawn will still grow Re: Is it ok to put stakes around your lawn?? 15Jan 14, 2011 9:22 pm Oh my, that's ridiculous! Why would someone do that? I would think that if it was the Council they would warn first as Erin said. Either that or place a notice in your mailbox. I think it's stupid vandalism Gee whiz. Hope it gets sorted out. Could be a camping out and sneaking a peek at the culprit, I couldn't stand it, I would want to know. (I wouldn't confront them, but at least I would know who it was ) www.themaxbuild.blogspot.com forum.homeone.com.au/viewtopic.php?f=31&t=20717&start=300 www.leahspaperpassion.blogspot.com Re: Is it ok to put stakes around your lawn?? 16Jan 14, 2011 9:46 pm How about you put some nails through it to stop the cheeky little buggers Custom European Cabinets - Melbourne Kitchen Specialist PM for business details as website currently being updated!

I don't have the time to waste on a stake out so I'll just hope they rack off of their own accord and my lush green lawn can be my sweet revenge Re: Is it ok to put stakes around your lawn?? 19Jan 15, 2011 7:27 am Maybe someone gets annoyed being forced to walk into the road because the area is roped off.

That could have happened during the build, or may be happening currently. There are water stains above a couple of windows… 2 3826 |
