I'm looking for advice from the community as to what a new landowner should do regarding property borders. I have my own notion of what I should do. I'd appreciate input from the experts. These are my thoughts/assumptions:
1) After the survey is completed as part of the purchase process, I need to take advantage and hand clear my property lines such that I can run strings from pin to pin (either to/from original pins back when HPP came to be, or to/from new pins installed by survey crew where they couldn't locate originals).
2) Depending on my property, if I wish to demarcate my property lines (I do), I'll probably need a D6 or a D9 to clear a swath.
3) If I wish to plant the property line (I do), I've been told I'll need a D9 in step 2 to rip through the blue (if blue there) to make way for later soil.
4) Get soil - move/install soil.
5) Get plants - install plants - advice on plants.
I'd be interested in knowing what plants people think are appropriate for a property line. What sort of mature planting radius and spacing would be ideal for the recommended species. I want minimal to zero maintenance on the property line. At the same time I want something that my neighbors will appreciate and support and a species that makes the neighborhood as a whole look better.
Cheers!
