I read that part before my first post. I just offered you the only solution likely to get you anywhere. They aren't going to bust their asses chopping hedge. You know how big of a pain that is first hand. They certainly aren't going to do whatever it takes to help you maintain your side of the fence, nor do i wager you want them in your backyard trimming shit anyway. Offer to pay to remove the brush problem completely and pay for a new privacy fence, or be prepared to live with the current situation.

Or hire lawyers and end up in the same boat anyway, less the cost of the lawyers. You ain't getting them to pay for that shit no matter how much you wish it.

JFC. All I want from them is to maintain their side of the fence. Because they don't do anything with the shit that is within 1 foot of the fence on their side it makes more work for me on my side. I never once said I want them to come to my side of the ****ing fence and do my work.

Or the neighbors think its his yard from the survey when they bought their house and wonder why he doesn't take care of his yard better.

I wonder what forum their thread about him is on

Why do you feel that ship has sailed you own that property. most fenceline laws that you have the right to maintain each side the fence especially if a tree is growing into your fence and likely to cause damage. In the case you own that land he doesnt seem interested to maintain your property if he did that would be open and notorious and the clock could start running on that. Anyway its your problem do as you see fit your post seemed to be asking advice though.

It was and wasn't. I was more looking for advice on dealing with the weeds issue since its the crap on the other side creating problems. I shouldn't have even mention the part where my property line was technically on the other side of the fence. It was never really my complaint. The thread took a turn there and I tried to steer it back.

I'm pretty sure if you told him you would pay for a new fence if you could move it back a few feet and you would either remove or maintain the weeds and bushes, he would probably kiss your ass and thank you removing his headache. Nobody gives a shit about 3 feet of property. He just doesn't want to bust his ass chopping hedge. Nor does he want to pay for a new fence, because that shit's expensive. And I don't blame him.

You dont own property do you? I believe its 5 feet and people go to court and spend 1000s of dollars over 6 inches of property. Its my understanding the fence was there when he bought the lot and he has a certificate showing ths the fence is 5 feet over the line into his property. That he has is piece of paper without the pins at the corners so he needs those before even considering moving the fence. The 5 foot strip is more valuable that a fence considering the price of urban property and he is paying the taxes on that land not the neighbor. I think he just doesnt want to be a dick to his neighbor but he might have to. Honestly id get a survey with fence line stakes and begin the process of moving the fence.

I do own property. I am in my third house. So your solution is spend thousands on attorneys and if he wins he still probably has to pay for the new fence and digging out that brush with a backhoe.

Or he could just offer to pay to solve the problem, and see if his neighbor is willing to let him get rid of a yard work headache he obviously doesn't want.

Other than your family your property is your most valued possession. Why do you feel he will need a attorney?

I'm just pissed you used the word "problematic".

**007** · 06-04-2018, 10:36 PM

I'm hoping to sell in 5 years anyway. The next owner can deal with the property line headache if they want to.

That isn't want I cared about here.

**srvy** · 06-04-2018, 10:41 PM

I see but I can tell that this is going to be a battle of overgrowth as long as you live there. That brush along the fence will mature into trees growing into the fence.

When that happens, I can have the electric company cut them down because we have power lines there.

why don't the Hatfields just start shooting at the McCoys?

Myself, I would go out on Sunday morning at daybreak with a Sawsall and address the fence on my property. But I would have those pins located before I did.

1COOLDOG · 06-05-2018, 04:54 PM

Harvest the weeds, roll 'em up in some big doobies, and smoke 'em in front of them. That'll learn 'em some lessons for sure!!

**007** · 06-05-2018, 10:21 PM

I've considered just putting up my own privacy fence 3 inches away from the chain link fence but have a feeling that would just cause other issues.
