There is a row of nandina along the back fence. It was there when I bought the house almost 10 years ago (along with lots of other nandina that has since been removed. One of my goals for this spring, even before the fire, was to get it all taken out. One of the issues though is that in taking it out, I also need to put up a privacy fence because the fence there now is just a chain link one and it's got some ugly patches in it to keep Molly (one of the bassets) from getting out.
I bit the bullet today. I spent part of the afternoon (not as long as I'd hoped due to fatigue) over at the house digging it out and trimming back the cedar trees from the neighbor's yard that hang over the nandina. Still, I was pretty impressed with what I got done. I want to get a lot of it cut down before the birds start building their spring nests in it.
I never realized how much room was back between the nandina and the fence. It's going to add quite a bit of space to the yard to get it all out.
I talked to the neighbor today and asked about the chain link fence. She's lived in her house a lot longer than me and she said the fence was there when she moved in so we don't know who it belongs to. She would rather I just leave it up and put the privacy fence on my side. The benefit of this is that it will be cheaper for me as there will be nothing for them to take down.
I'm going to call my insurance agent tomorrow because my dad mentioned that he has a good fence builder. We're getting closer to moving home and I want to get it done before we get the dogs back there.
