Fence dispute question

I have a customer who's neighbour decided to rip out the dividing hedge on my customers side and put up a fence, the fence is concrete posts gravel boards and fairly heavy duty panels.The fence seems to be very poorly installed not straight and some posts not level with some panels packed with thick timer to hold panels in.Now this fence has been put up on my customers land with the remains of the privet hedge on the neighbours side still, my customer has been though all legal action and been paid out to replace the hedge on there land.My question asked to me by the customer is how can they add some sort of support / defence to protect there new hedge from being damaged when this fence decides to give way. They only have a small amount of space in this area to plant the hedge so can't be anything too hefty to support any movement from the fence, does any one have any suggestions? If you can make any sense of my rambling on.I thought some long stakes and thick wire.Oh and they don't want to actually do anything that will be physically fastened to the fence as they don't want to kick all he'll up again.They are wanting to plant yew for the hedgingThanks to any one that can offer any help

  • the hedge is likely to survive better than the fence, even if goes over on it. unless they want to put spurs on their side that are not actually touching the fence but will prop it if there's any movement

  • Is there a reason why the fence is staying if it has been erected on your customers land?

  • Id to for hawthorn if possible, wildlife friendly, tough and resilient, relatively low maintenance. So long as its not running alongside a path or where people/pets may be pricked by thorns
  • Cheers for replies they have the option of takin the fence down and giving it all back to the neighbour to re erect but this could cause all manor of upheaval with this neighbour again so they are just wanting to hide it and forget about it and live in peace. The neighbour by the sound of it has caused nothing but problems with all the property's that join her garden and is very much disliked in the area. I will feed back your replies to my customer thanks for your help
