Mowed a section of land on neighbors property

[Hay Dude]

Moved to our property in May of 2017. In 2019 my wife and I decided to cut a walking trail around our 45 acres of woods.
I started the trail on what I thought was my side of the neighbors barbed wire fence.
After looking at my survey a year later I noticed that my neighbors property extends 10 ft on the other side of their barbed wire fence toward my property.
So now that part of the walking trail is on their property and I keep it mowed and limbs off of the barbed wire fence. Nothing has been said and I doubt they even know. I'm just not saying anything as it hasn't been an issue.
The only future problem I could see is that I could have acquired 10 feet more of property through adverse possession.

Send him an invoice. Maybe he will pay you for mowing the outside of his fence?

I think it's only a few posters on this thread worrying about the big nothing burger. Relax! Life goes on and no one really cares.

As I told another member on this forum, I’m glad you’re not my neighbor. We would have problems.

Does their fence hold in livestock? Just wondering if it’s serving a purpose.

OP, did you grow up in a city or suburb? You come off like a city guy.




Why are you such a coward you can't knock on your neighbors door? That's all it is, you are too nervous, scared whatever, and are acting out like a little boy who was told he can't hit his little sister with your replies here.

Be a man, knock on the door. Your neighbor won't care, and you will cement yourself "as the good neighbor" you think you are.

I saw one horse in the pasture but that was months ago. They use to also have dog pens which I believe were use as a kennel but they removed them about a year into when we move in.

And your response is why I'm not even bringing up this nothing burger to the neighbor.

If the neighbor decided to tell me not to trespass on that narrow strip I would tell him I need it clearly marked where his property ends.

I'm missing something here.
