We're not going to lose our land from the edges, if that's what you're asking. It's actually causing a bit of an issue right now because our land has been retained while the beach has disappeared, so it's no longer possible to walk the beach except at lowest tide. slOne of my neighbors has requested (with a legal letter) that we remove our trees and landscape in a continuous beach.


How does that work when they send a letter telling you how to landscape your land?


In this case I laugh to myself and ask my lawyers to reply.

It's a bit more nuanced than I make it sound (https://www.ogierproperty.ky/publications/public-access-righ...), but it's hard to make the argument that I've intentionally extended my property to block the beach when the original property lines are maintained and the trees doing the work are 20 years old.

Due to erosion of artificial beaches and our access laws, my neighbors are actually losing a few feet of private land every year. I'm just kicking back and literally yelling at them to get off my backyard lawn.

I can't wait for their reaction when I get my chicken coop...

Those are my goals too :)

Hope yours goes well. I'm trying to buy land for privacy trees and small farm. Hopefully, one day..


How maddeningly shortsighted!
