In order for delivery personnel to access my driveway, they have to back in and in doing so the trucks sometimes go off the road onto the grass on the side of the town road. The property across from mine is simply a tangle of woods and weeds. The owner is allegedly (neighborhood rumors!) annoyed aat the truck tires going onto his property. Is there an amount of land in front of a property that allows for this kind of thing? I don't want to get into it with my neighbor but the trucks can't get in without going off the actual dirt (narrow one lane) roadway by a few feet. Any suggestions?:confused::confused:

You would need to check with your local town regarding road right of way. In my subdivision they own 20' each side of the centerline. Most roads have an easement or right of way so likely that grass is not really his property but he takes care of it. However, if this happens repeatedly you should be taking steps to prevent it. Where are you located, in most places trucks can not leave the roadway because things are too tight.

I am located in rural Florida. The road is dirt (we pay a neighbor to grade and fill in the holes every year) and it is about twelve feet wide. I need hay deliveries and I am not sure how this can be done if the truck can't make the turn into the driveway frontwards or backwards! This does no damage to the front of the other property. I am confused as to how to get the hay in without angering the neighbor(who seems to be just angry in general)...

There is normally "right of way" along all roads, where the property line is set back. You will need to look at the plot map from the deed office as to where the property lines are.

I'd think that you can alter your driveway and make the entry more of a sweep/arch than a 90 degree turn. You said the truck tires went onto the grass on the guys property, doesn't this cause some damage? He may not have a legal claim to the grass on the right of way, if there is one, but why get into a wee wee match with a skunk, alter your driveway should not be expensive since it sounds like its just graded dirt.

I can't change it due to the fence line and the tree line. There is very very little "damage" unless you think flat grass for a few hours is "damage".
