Our mailman is not a fan of the hedge in front of our mailbox. How do I know? He will break branches off and either leave them on our mailbox or he has even thrown them over our fence. We have trimmed it so from the street it still looks a bit covered but when you walk up to it there is more than enough room for an adult human to access the mailbox. I feel like our mailman is being a bit dramatic about the whole situation..........
