That should work and a good idea. See if he stays off the line.
Remember you are trying to break someone's habit--sometimes not an
easy thing to do!

The hedge seems to be the best idea. You can tell your neighbor you
plan on installing a hedge to help define the property line. Be sure
you plant the hedge inside your property and not on the line (unless
your neighbor agrees). But, I would not mention the hedge to the
neighbor unless you really plan to do it if he does not comply.


I've considered this (have one set of unfriendly neighbors), but then I would
need to leave space to go over and trim the hedge - no? Then I'd have to
maintain that....

You could put the hedge in a mulched bed that borders the property, but
allows you room at the edge of the bed to maintain the hedge and renew
the mulch periodically.

Or you could plant something that grows slowly, tall and narrow, like
arbor vitae, which needs no pruning.
