Keep peace in the neighborhood with a very simple action — talk to your neighbors, before heavy equipment arrives. Let them know what kind of work you’re planning. They’ll naturally want reassurances from you about noise, debris, whether it might affect their property, and how long you think the project might take.

Some neighbors are as territorial as some dogs about their own places. Be sensitive to how your changes may affect them. Before you plant a row of 12-foot (3.6 m) evergreens or put up a privacy fence, consider whether you’ll be blocking their view or creating a shade problem for them. Put yourself in their shoes and determine whether your improvements will be a positive thing for them, or your neighbors will be left staring at the ugly backside of your new fence or swatting mosquitoes attracted by your garden pool.
