What is the name of your state? Texas, Brazoria County, Richwood, out of city limits.
I am just about at my wits end. I do not even know where to start or even what to do about this problem. I moved to this house about 6 years ago. Since then, this company, Crawford Furniture, has exspanded and they built this huge white metal building and a big parking lot and the worse thing is they built this road for deliveries that goes right across my entire backyard. It is on his property(5 1/2 feet from actual property line) but my goodness the nuisences. His delivery drivers constantly run off the road and rut up my property, they drive like a bat out of hell down it. We have to listen to 18 wheelers idoling all night long, garbage trucks picking up the big metal bins and slamming them around at 3 am in the mornings. People driving down the road to rummage in the garbage at all hours of the night. We are constantly having to pick up his trash ( cardboard and plastic wrap) that gets blown into our yard. His employees act like a bunch of heathens back there cussing and hollering. Its just a big mess. I do not have the money to put up a fence and I want him to. I know that it will not drown out the noise but atleast I can let my children play in the back yard again and it will keep his trash out of my yard. Two weeks ago, a lady who owns the empty lot next to my house came to me and said she was giving me a chance to buy the lot because Crawfords wants to buy it and build another access road and parking lot on it. I just about died, that would mean he not only took my backyard from me but also the side yard too. I was able to come up with the money and we are in closing right now but it just makes my blood boil!!!! This man has no common courtesy towards anyone in the neighborhood and just who does he think he is? He will not talk to any of us neighbors or even try to stop the trash or the noise or do anything. I am just at my wits end. Someone told me to get a petition started...but where would I take it after I had all the signatures (I know all my neighbors would sign). I thought about putting signs up on stakes in my yard facing his business reading things like "fences make better neighbors", "If there was a fence here, your customers couldnt see this", "You are next to a neighborhood, we live here, keep the noise down", "Keep your trash, your trucks off my property", but would I get into legal trouble for doing that? I need some serious advice here, what would you do?
