If you have a valid reason for wanting an extra high structure, to block a nasty view or noisy street, apply to your zoning board for a variance.The term “fence” includes trees or hedges that create barriers.If an aging section starts to lean, shore it or replace it. Maintain and improve: It’s your responsibility to clean and maintain both sides. Put the best face outward: It’s common practice to put the more finished side of your fence facing the street and your neighbor’s yard. They have to live with your choice unless it lowers property values or is dangerous.
