fence dispute
Property line conflict
A fence dispute is a disagreement between neighboring property owners about a boundary fence—its location, maintenance, cost, or condition.
These conflicts are notoriously common and often escalate beyond their apparent significance: The fence dispute between the Hendersons went on for three years.
The phrase sometimes appears figuratively for any petty territorial squabble between neighbors or colleagues.
