Unkept messy gardens -
Messy gardens that spoil Estates .
From time to time we have all had different levels of messy gardens - either because its an easy dumping ground for items if youre having building work done to the house, or you arent green fingered and dont know what to do with the area.
But after a time you need to clean it up or take the items to the city skip,
The messy garden photo- the family have 3 cars and the rubbish has been there for 4months at least.
How can they turn a blind eye to this sort of mess every time they leave or arrive at their house.
If they lived in a council house they would be told to clean it up or face an eviction , but as its a private house, council can just request them to clean the garden up. which can be ignored .

Messy and overgrown gardens
Messy and overgrown gardens are the bain of my life ! When customers ask me to design and create a garden with gravel and paving,
TThe next door always has a messy overgrown garden with ten foot high weeds, you lay all this nice gravel a few months later weeds are germinating and trying to grow into the membrane.. uncut garden weed spores spread, if you have a nice lawn and wonder why weeds are coming up, you might want to look at the neighbours.
mind you my front could do with a tidy lol, just waiting for scrap to collect the trailer before it ges a makeover for the summer..

dont think we need to buy a rat, there seems to be plenty wild rats runny about the estate with the open fields and latenight takeaways ,
the family who own the messy garden are really nice people , the house is spotless inside , they just need to have some pride in the front garden too,
or pay someone to tidy it up.

We had similar issues on our estate.
We were informed that the correct course of action is to report concerns to the Envirmental Crime Unit via Stoke On Call (01782 234234).
Each area has a dedicated Investigator. We were informed that action can be taken, even if the property is privately owned.

RE: the family who own the messy garden are really nice people ...
Hi dereth,
Since you view your neighbors as 'nice' which I translate to mean they are 'reasonable' people then maybe it would be much simpler to talk to them first.
Being 'nice' people I'm sure they would be embarrassed/appalled that they unintentionally caused problems for you.
At this point, tell them your worries about rats nesting in the pile of garbage and that it would involve more effort, stress, time, and expense in the long-run to clean-up if the pile gets more overwhelming in size and if the council gets involved. Let them know, that you want to maintain good neighbor relations and do not want to make the problem bigger, but if more homes in the neighborhood just allow messy frontyards, then everybody would suffer (in terms of health and reduced property value)

Mark P.
the garden in question- the
the garden in question- the photo, the same family have never done anything to the front garden - its always has been unkept for the past 20 years plus.
so having a polite word with them would not embarrasse them thinking they are causing a problem , no it would not accur to them.
the owner 2 months ago mentioned that they were going to hire a skip for the rubbish as they had just had some work done to the house-hence the building type rubbish on the garden.
everyone has a different view point of what a tidy garden is-
front gardens can be kept tidy without having to have it as a show garden,
there is a growing number of house holds on this estate that allow the gardens to become rubbish tips , because of the amount of houses now that are rented ,

I think we have a massive rubbish problem in Goldenhill there is stuff dumped everywhere latest iis a mattress just past the chicken farm on broadfield road, I canot believe that people will not take and dispose of their rubbish correctly and dump it in the public places. At least the rubbish in the picture has been left at their property and not fly tipped anywhere so that is a good thing.
Lets really hope that the fly tipping in this area can soon be eradicated, and offenders bought to book.

Last time I checked there's a tip down the road, if that person can get the materess to a secluded spot, why the hell can't they take it to the tip?!
