Shared fences and other property issues

I have some problematic neighbors that allow a their weed and bush overgrowth to constantly take over the shared fence in my back yard. I trim this shit back multiple times per year and am getting rather sick of it invading my yard. What's really aggravating is that five feet of my yard is on their side of the fence. Unfortunately the fence has been there since before we moved in. It's a battle I'm tired of fighting.

I'm curious what others in similar situations have done. I've tried talking to them before but none of them give a shit since the growth from their weeds is on my side. Not their problem and all that BS.

Picture attached for reference. I don't think antifreeze and aids infected needles will help here.

Pay to get your corner's found from a land survey company. This will truly determine where your property corners are. Once you know exactly where your property corners are (this is vital information) then you can move the fence to your property corners.

Now, here's the deal: if your neighbors complain about you moving the fence, tell them tough, that you have no choice, because they refuse to deal with the overgrowth. This "may" motivate them to say "ok, we will do something about the overgrowth".

Now, if the fence has been in place longer than 7 years, you may have no legal right to move the fence, even though it is not on the property line or close to the property line, because after seven years, the courts can decide that it's the "understood" boundary. Regardless, get your property surveyed, find your corners, go from there. Don't assume you know where your corners are.

The neighbors were livid. They were CERTAIN that we had violated their property line so they brought out their own surveyors. Unfortunately, they were not happy. The problem was that where our fence started - left them about 2 feet to attempt to manuever a law mower through.

So, they had to go on the other side of their house to get through.

Point? Bring out a surveyor and let HIM determine (legally) where the property line is.
We know where it is because it was surveyed before we purchased. Plus our gas meter is in their yard. Well one of the yards. I not looking to get legal, rather just to figure out how to deal with the situation civilly.

You're out of luck. You bought the property knowing the fence was not on the property line. I'm sorry, but you are kind of screwed, and your neighbors know it.

Yeah, definitely take down that fence.. it isn't helping, and it is on your property. That seems like a good first step.. then mow it all down.. then build a new fence next year.

You might be able to tear the current fence down, but I'd consult a lawyer first.

Would get it surveyed and proceed with putting a new fence up. More than likely they won't do anything once you give them a copy of the survey. Are they going to sue you? Probably not and probably won't contest it once you explain it to them. Have it surveyed while they are home so when they ask questions you and they know what's up. Or get some tordon from your local coop and cut them and spay the crap with them....tordon kills about everything long as you get it on a fresh cut stem or trunk. Just a few drops normally does it but has to be freshly cut off so it soaks in the roots.

Nope, not correct. And trust me, I know. The fence has been there too long, it's an understood boundary. In fact, 007 had it surveyed prior to buying the property, so he knows the fence is not on the property boundary line.

I have always been scared of the old fence line shit. But, after purchasing 5 properties in 3 different states I have learned fence lines don’t mean shit. It goes by the survey.
Any way it has in Missouri, Texas and South Carolina.

I never said that. I didn't have it surveyed. I only saw a copy of a survey when we purchased.

Oh, then get it surveyed first. Pay the $500 or whatever for a licensed land surveyor to find your corners and mark your corners. This "might" scare the neighbors enough to do something, maybe? But, if they know their rights, if they have been there for longer than 7 years, then they probably know that you can't just start tearing things down and putting in new fences.

Don't do tear stuff down first. That's when people go to court and they only people who come out on top are the lawyers.

Get your property surveyed, and then consult the survey company about your options. They may be able to lead you in the right direction. They may tell you the same thing I've already told you too. Land survey companies tend to deal with these types of issues, it's part of their job, because you ain't the only person with this type of problem.

Not necessarily. Depends most likely on if there is a city or county ordinance. Generally, if a fence is wholly on his property, he is free to tear it down. You, again generally, only end up in situations like you speak of if the fence resides directly on the property line, known as a partition fence.
