The trees and old fence are the only thing in question.
Ive only been in my house for about a year and a half, the original fence thats falling down has been there prolly 30 years..... The new fence has bee there about a week...

The new fence is definitely on the inside (their side) of the old fence so it blocks the eyesore that is the old fence that is held up by the 4 foot stumps of the trees they cut down.

Without a doubt, get a survey done! Property lines are not always where people think they are, for example, skewed to the street, or not straight all the way. I have appoxmatly 1/3 of a driveway on my property because I assumed the edge of the tar was the line. Silly me. Good luck.

Or put up a stockade fence of your own on your side of the stumps. Dump your leaves over the fence in the middle in the fall.

I'd just remove the stumps and take the property, they clearly don't want it

A word of caution. While it's inviting, a pima cotton sweater vest is no attire for tree stump removal. I'd stick with double stiched cotton duck for breathability and durability.

Spence,

Go to theTiverton Town Hall where you can obtain a copy of the Plot Plan.

I ran into boundary issues as well and found help there...
