Default neighbor's fence partially on my property

Here are the two photos that you posted so far:

I assume that you mean that you will be putting up a new fence on the left
side like the new fence that you are now putting up on the right side. That
fence that you are now doing does look good.


I may put a trellis across the back. My landscape designer wants to mount
planters on the wall and a waterfall. I'd be happy with a vine. The problem
is it is too shady for a flowering vine. Being a designer he wants to do
something fancy. I don't want anything that requires maintenance, as the
back yard is the tenant's exclusive space. While the current ones are using
the backyard, I have had tenants that have put stuff in front of the door
to the outside and never stepped foot out there.

And, you will be putting a new fence on the back to the right of the fence
that your neighbors put up.


Yes.

One thing I did notice in the first picture that I am curious about is that
it looks like there is snow on the ground. Is that snow? Was there snow
there recently or is this a photo of the fence from a few months back or
more?


Actually the fence went in last November.

The reason that I am wondering is that if this is how the back fence
has been for a few months now, it seems a little late to try to undo what
they have done.


It certainly would have been better had I realized this before all the soil
was dumped in there. The problem is after I asked the workmen to move the
fence off my property I assumed they would do as I asked. To measure I have
to recruit someone to help. And I never bothered.
