Your grandma might have had a chance in court depending on the exact situation.
If there are tree branches growing over her property, then most of the time the neighbor is forced to cut them after is is notified about it.
If its just a few leaves getting blown over by the wind then chances are rather slim, but its still possible she would win. Depends on your jurisdiction, here it has to be a severe impairment of her ability to use the property.
It was leaves from the opposite property line blowing in the wind.
Multiple times a day she would be yelling at my grandfather to go pick them up off the lawn (which was perfectly flat and devoid of anything living except super small grass) and would often go out to the porch just to complain, loudly, about how SHE has to do all this work to “get things presentable”

Oh, so your grandmother didn’t DIRECTLY go to a lawyer, there were some (albeit awful) interactions first? Funny, it’s almost as if that was exactly what I wrote.
I didn’t say there aren’t shitty people suing others over the dumbest things, I just pointed out one of the many holes in the story OP posted.
If you think loudly complaining outside while the people whose property you’re complaining about are inside or not home is actually adressing it in any way, then I guess we have nothing more to discuss.
Yeah, I absolutely cannot relate to the nice grandmother stereotype that baked cookies and always asks if you’re getting enough food. I got the crabby irritable bitch who makes comments about your weight as an 8 year old, complains about everything to everyone, and never heard anyone compliment until her funeral.
She once complained about someone leaving shoes on their child in the house. The child in question was about 8 months old and not even walking yet.
I think I used to live next door to her. We had an enormous sugar maple in the front yard, the tallest tree for blocks around. It was also the first to turn color in the fall, a magnificent bright magenta. I could see it from a quarter a mile away.
Because it was the first to turn, it was also the first to drop its leaves, and leave its hot pink evidence all over the street, especially in my elderly next door neighbor’s yard, and she did NOT appreciate it. Every time I saw her, she ordered me to cut it down, and I would tell her gently that I would never cut down that incredible tree.
Or maybe you just don’t meet many people.
My grandmother tried to sue a neighbor over leaves falling from the neighbor’s tree.

My grandmother was just awful.

You’ve been talking to yourself or rather to your own straw man anyway. Just keep doubling down & good luck on your journey becoming your grandmother.
Yeah ok, that sounds a bit like a nutjob.

She never tried to sue me, though.
It outlived her. The tree won.
