A woman has blasted her nightmare neighbour who refuses to do anything about branches falling off his tree and damaging her home.

Sharon Jackson said her neighbour was ‘pretty friendly’ when she first moved into her detached home in a quiet suburb of Toledo, Ohio.

However, the homeowner has become increasingly frustrated in recent months as he has repeatedly failed to chop dead limbs off his tree.

Speaking to 13 News, Sharon says this falling debris has left multiple holes in her garage roof.

As her neighbour is showing no signs of dealing with the tree, Sharon is anxious that she won’t be able to afford to keep fixing the damage.

She told the local news outlet: ‘I’m feeling very frustrated. 

‘I talked to the neighbour and it just doesn’t seem like he wants to do anything.  

‘I can’t afford to keep paying for holes in my garage roof.’ 

As such, the only option Sharon now has is to seek guidance from the City of Toledo’s Human Relations Commission – which offers a free mediation services to disputing neighbours. 

Raina Dawson – the chair of the Commission – said: ‘I bring parties to the table and say, “let’s talk about it.”‘

Sharon’s neighbour refused to respond to request for comment.

Last week, MailOnline revealed the shocking moment a homeowner shoves his neighbour who is using a chainsaw to cut down the huge hedge between their two properties – amid a long-running feud over who owns the giant stretch of bush.

Carole Davison, 65, who has lived on Ridge Park in Plymouth for 33-years with her husband Clarke, 68, has been involved in the ongoing squabble over the boundary hedge for months.

The defiant Davisons have refused to take down the hedge, which they claim has been standing for more than 50 years and is home to nesting birds, despite the next-door residents’ pleas to axe the ‘ugly’ hedge allegedly blocking access to their driveways. 

Taking matters into their own hands three infuriated neighbours joined forces to remove the hedge on Sunday evening, resulting in a scuffle and a 999 call to police after Mr Davison shoved his chainsaw-wielding neighbour in what was branded as an ‘absolutely foolishly dangerous’ move.

Retired NHS nurse Mrs Davison told MailOnline: ‘We were in the back garden and heard the chainsaw start, then we heard the chopping of trees and then we realised what was happening.

‘We called the police on 999 as they also trespassed on our property in order to pull it down.’

‘The police were not hugely sympathetic,’ she said adding that the PCSO ‘took the line that it was the neighbour’s hedge, and she could do what she liked with it.

‘But when the sergeant arrived it was disputed and they said it was a boundary hedge.’

The Davisons, who have four grandchildren, believe the hedge lies on a boundary line but the woman living in the house adjacent, who did not want to be named, claims that according to the Land Registry the hedge lies on her property.
