Is this fence a one sided fence with posts on one side and finished surface
on the other?


Correct. The posts are on my side. His side is totally blank.

Hi Don,

Since the neighbor has piled up 2 feet of dirt on his side of the fence, it
has become a retaining wall. It doesn't sound like this 'retaining wall'
was built to the proper specs to do that job. I'm quite sure that retaining
walls would have very specific specifications and requirements. Might be
that the danger of his yard collapsing into your yard, would mean that it
should be torn down and built to proper 'retaining wall' specs. While he's
rebuilding it to the proper specs, he could build it where it should have
been built in the first place.
