klc said:Frillylilly that is exactly the problem/dilemma I'm having. Since it is completely on her property, I can do nothing with it. And she does come over and mow along the fence etc and keep it up, so the problem isn't that she isn't caring for it. My butterfly bush was "touching" her fence and she took clippers and trimmed it off exactly along the line...which I understand is her right, but really??!! When she did that, I considered that the last straw and started considering the second fence solution.

I have a hard time understanding how she maintains her 1ft of land on the side of her fence facing your property. How does she do that without getting on YOUR land? I would think she and her mower are more than 1 ft wide and therefore she is trespassing. I would tell her she has to find a way to maintain her yard without trespassing on yours. See what she says about that. Does your city have any laws about trespassing in a neighbors yard in order to maintain their own? I really don't think she can get away with that.
