After a car accident, my neighbours will be hiring someone to fix his fence. He won't have to walk in my property but I bet he does, when I am out. I have put white pegs next to the bulbs in my garden. The fibre cable also goes past there. The conduit for it was broken by the car, and I have repaired it. But if he stands on the conduit it will break and could damage the fibre. In that case it will need another 150 metres of fibre to be threaded from the distribution box along the road. That could cost a few hundred dollars.
So, any brilliant ideas on how to stop someone tromping all over my property while I am out? I'll get a Live Wires sign. Maybe some yellow tape.

Have you talked to the neighbour about your concerns? If he lets you know when fixer is coming perhaps you could put boxes or pails or some such over your bulbs and timber over where you fibre goes. Presumably the fix is only required over a short length.

The neighbour and his contractors don't know anything about plants. He usually chops everything down with a chainsaw, even native trees. He has sprayed my property with Roundup a number of times. I suppose the biggest problem is them damaging my fibre cable.

You need to talk to him rather than ask us. Communication is the key here.

I am already using one of HIS security cameras right there. Really I want people to be aware of what they are treading on in my garden. Tradesmen are often not very clever. I think I will build a temporary fence to keep them out until the other fence is repaired.

Put up a temporary fence with a notice "private property, keep out. contact owner and your phone number." and discuss it with your neighbour.

Almost every job done in my neighbourhood has some problem or other. All the work done on my house by chippies and sparkies and plumbers had the odd problem which had to be fixed. e.g. a switch wired up wrong, a crimped pipe leaking inside a wall, wrong measurements by the chippies. The concrete footpath in my street is near perfect but the gutter slopes the wrong way, so there's a constant pool of fetid water from the overflowing sewer pipe that apparently can't be fixed. There's been four power outages in a week because one phase was out of balance. The road slopes the wrong way on a corner, so there have been dozens of accidents that demolish power poles and almost all the fences in my street.

Let your insurance company know what's going on coz surely they should be picking up this mess - shouldn't they?

I have been given all the new timber that I need to fix the fence. I doubt that a carpenter would fix the fence properly. When it stops raining I will be out there with a laser. A similar fence along the road was half damaged, and was rebuilt at enormous expense. Then the owner wanted the remainder of the fence to be rebuilt to match, but the top of the fence is not level. So after thousands of dollars, the fence is crooked.
