Forgiveness is a lot easier than permission. If you talk to him about it and he doesn't agree to do anything he's going to be pretty suspiscious when the vines start to die off.

Cut to the chase -- break out the Round-up and make a midnight spraying run. They ivy is going to end up destroying the fence and they're expensive to replace.

Maybe you could ask him if his yard guy can cut back ivy too. My guess is that if he's not up to ivy cutting, he probably doesn't mow his own yard either.

Talk to him and tell him is becoming a problem for you. And if there is a way that you both can come to an agreement. If he still refuses to reason with you, then make the trip! just make sure you use something that will need only ONE trip! LOL!

Our neighbor loves ivy and allows it to grow on the fence that divides our two properties. The problem is that the ivy grows up over the fence into my side of the yard. Asking my neighbor to handle the ivy is out of the question as well -- physically, he's just not up to it. It feels like I'm out there every weekend cutting it back. It's gotten to the point that I'm ready to make a midnight trip along our fenceline with weed killer.
