Reputable - as in having a good reputation. They are a large and
long-standing company. If they are not fully aware of the county codes
for the industry and area they've been working in for over 2 decades
then something is wrong.

The county already deals with the weed growth along the fence line by
"dousing it regularly with weed killer" and using a weed wacker.
Again, it's not our fence.

Rolling up the fencing may be an alternative... thanks for the input.








Three other thoughts:

- You said "reputable", but they didn't get a permit. That negates the word
"reputable".

- Did you have a plan for dealing with weed growth in the 12" space, which
is now inaccessible? You could douse it regularly with weed killer, but
that's a lousy idea.

- You will probably have to start over, and if the posts are set in cement,
it's going to be expensive. Prepare to meet the contractor in court, unless
you choose one that is reputable.
