Did they clean it up some or what?

Not really. She's covered part of it with black plastic, which I'm not fond of, and she says she's going to plant a hedge on it.

I'm going to have to go along that fence line with the weedwacker... I want to cut and smooth it enough that I can still get at least a mower width. I may work on that this week.

I've talked to her... I'm not sure if she's actually putting in a greenhouse, or just a big garden. She brought in a bunch of topsoil, and she's planting lots of shrubs and things in the dirt... she said it's her livelihood, selling trees and shrubs and things... not sure where she sells them.

She might get me a good wholesale price on some evergreen hedge for us, to plant between us and the store. We'll see :~)

A shrubbery? One that looks nice - and not too expensive?

Too bad I can't plant hugh shrubbery or ivy over those pumps and such...

I'll bet not! I'm sure it's real fun for the horses when the wind gets under it and it flaps around. But it'll keep the weeds down until she gets something planted on it, so there's that. And like you say, if you can get out there with a shovel and a garden rake and smooth it down enough to get a mower between it and the fence, it'll make your life much easier, even though it's a real pain that you've ended up having to do it in the first place. They shouldn't have done that THAT close to the fence! :-/
