Gardening Methods

Japanese garden ruined by neighbors tree.?

I created a Japanese garden with fountains, lanterns, bridges and fine gravel. I even combed the gravel and rock to give it that zen quality. However, my neighbor has this shit bag tree that sheds leaves all over it; but, even worse it has these weird nut berries that created a huge mess when they burst on the ground. How can I protect my garden that I worked so hard on? Is there a shade to cover it?

You can either ask the neighbor to trim back the tree a bit, or check to see if it is legal in your town to trim anything that hangs over your property….
