Why not put a fence up on your side of the property line?

This is something my wife has been suggesting since they cut the original one down. It's getting to the point where I think I will put one back up, but I wonder if it is inviting more trouble. I have a feeling the neighbors would try to cut it down again. I would be a lot more active in stopping them this time around, but it might spiral into a lot more trouble than it is worth...why pay for and work on something that is going to end up getting destroyed?

It is something I have been mulling over for a while now.

If it's all on your property, they should have any say as long as you're not violating any codes.

Fences are fun.  Was it a property line fence, or on your side of the property line?  Right down the line requires the OK from both sides...  But a few feet (check local codes) on your side needs no approval.  And, if they touch it, you call the police.  You don't get involved personally.

Looking in from the outside, it seems like this should be REALLY simple to resolve with a little bit of communication/understanding. I guess that is difficult if they won't answer the door. Perhaps offer your phone number?

I'm basically of the opinion that you both need to live next to each other. You might as well try to make the best of it.

You seem to harbor some sort of naive view that everything works out with diplomatic discussion in some idealized and perfect world where everyone gets along and nothing bad happens.  I don't know if that's because all the people around you are pleasant or what.  But that's just simply not the case with some people.  No amount of diplomacy will stop some people from being the way they are.

Vigo, fortunately I don't have the same issues as you in regards to neighbors.  Our one neighbor's yard is 100% weeds, but he's a nice guy, so whatever.  I keep my yard and do my best to keep it weed-limited.  I do have a co-worker who also has a less-than-stellar neighbor as well.  Still not nearly as bad as your situation.  Long term, best idea is to eventually move whenever you get a good chance to.

I can't remember if you've said this before in the thread, but having a surveyor actually mark out your property line, and making sure the neighbors see the resulting marks would prevent them from cutting it down.  Else they open themselves up for lawsuits.

They aren't going to stop and you have a right to build a fence I would personally build it and keep everything related to it regarding the building and the property lines and if they do destroy it take them to small claims court that should shut them up.

I would also send a letter to them advising that the fence is on your side of the property and they may not touch it just so you have proof that you have advised them.

They wont stop and I think a fence will be the best way to put them out of mind out of sight
