Message: [QUOTE="8893, post: 3633204, member: 93"] If you mean trees/shrubbery (cue Monty Python), the prior owners tried a wall of Arborvitae, but they didn’t keep the deer away from them, so they are bare for around the bottom four to five feet. That’s what the fence will be covering. We tried to fill the gap with Mountain Laurels when we first moved it around 17 years ago but only some of them took (a few Mountain Fire varieties that we put along the side). So, we’re done with that option. New neighbors just moved in and the situation has been elevated to a priority (read: they are louder than the two prior occupants of that house). We figure we’ll put the fence on our side of the trees, so the neighbors look at the bare bottoms, and we’ll have the tops rising from the fence line. The fence guys are even more against using the wood grain PVC than they are against using wood. They say it jacks the price too high and they don’t recommend it. I want to see a quote nonetheless because now I’m curious. My sense is that wood vs. PVC is close to a wash for installation, but they tell me I’ll be replacing the wood in eight to ten years no matter what I do to it (probably in large part because the conditions are prime for decay there). But wood grain PVC may be close to twice the price. [/QUOTE]
