Should I hedge or repair my wood fence?
Which alternative is cheaper? Part of my fence (the back, spanning the width of the property) has collapsed off the cement post. It's rotten. About 8-10 feet or so and it's on one end. But the other 30 feet or so of wood fencing seems fine.
I don't know how I'd reattach new wood onto the existing post - do I need to remove it and do the cement thing again? Ugh
My neighbour's keen to fix it as well, so we'd share the cost/labour.
I have no idea how much it would cost to redo a wooden fence of 40' or plant hedges instead and take the remaining fence down altogether.
All advice welcomed. Thanks.

If your neighbor is willing to help, use it. Repair the fence. You can dig new holes 2 feet away from the existing holes and rebuild the fence. There are brackets available to attach all pieces back together. You do not have to be a master carpenter, save yourself some money and do it yourself along with your neighbor(12 pack). good luck.

It may not be cheapest but as long as you are sharing the cost how about a block wall. Wood fences always fall apart and shrubs need triming and can die.
