Neighbor hires a contractor to enter a woman's yard without permission for hedge trimming, but the homeowner refuses and insists that all work on her property be scheduled with her first

A shared hedge has somehow become the neighbor's personal scheduling department, which is a remarkable promotion considering nobody appointed her to manage another adult's yard, calendar, privacy, or contractor accessSplitting the trimming bill is one thing, deciding when a stranger enters someone else's property is something else entirely, and paying for it does not magically convert an unauthorized plan into a favor.This arrangement had already been shaky from the get-go. For years, the neighbor scheduled the hedge trimmer without checking first, leaving the homeowner to ask him to finish the work on her side later when the timing did not suit. Now she provided roughly twenty minutes of notice, was told that the homeowner would contact the contractor separately, and then responded by booking him to work inside(!) that homeowner's yard the following day anyway. Looks like "I will schedule separately" now translates to "please feel free to schedule my contractors for me."
