Get the property surveyed. If his fence is in your yard then you have a right to remove the fence or plant what you want by it or give him the option to move his fence to his property.
I’m sorry, I meant his fence is inside of his yard. He doesn’t want us to put anything on our yard in that general area, but on our side of the fence. I told him to move his fence according to a survey. That is when he yelled at me about having to pay for a survey. Of course he doesn’t talk to my husband like that.
We put a very tall hedge up while we were constructing because he was always running over as soon as he saw us, and then making indirect disparaging remarks. “My windows cost a hundred thousand, what exactly are you having put in there?” He’s just very annoying and arrogant. My husband disliked him immediately. We always tried to be cordial. When my house ended up dwarfing his, he started complaints with the city. They indirectly told me he’s got issues.
It is really bizarre.
