That is the common shape here, and yes. What decides it is not the address but whether a machine can reach the back and turn once it is there. The gap beside the house, the gate and the softest part of the lawn are usually the constraint.

It depends which machine ends up on the job, so the opening, route and turning space get measured rather than guessed from the road. Note the narrowest point between house and line, the gate width, anything overhead. One small enough to squeeze through can be too small for what is back there.

That is the reason to do it selectively: the head works on what has grown between and beneath the trunks while the canopy stays. Care goes into not wounding bark, and into where the machine sits and turns.

A band of chipped material where the growth was rooted, stumps at or near grade with the roots still in, and a line you can see and walk. Whether the fence survives depends on what grew into it: a stem that swallowed wire rarely comes out cleanly.

Something comes back, because the roots stay. Privet in particular resprouts hard from the root crown however cleanly it was ground, and on a boundary it also depends on what grows the other side of the wire. Treat one pass as opening the ground, not closing the subject.

It does not change theirs, and theirs is a real part of what happens to yours. A strip opened beside a field that is worked or mown stays open with modest upkeep; the same strip beside brush closes faster. Worth knowing which edge you own.

Near a public road the planning is about traffic rather than vegetation: which way material is thrown, where the machine can sit, and where the right of way begins, often further onto the property than owners assume. What is required there varies with who holds the road.

Brush is the honest default: the method is built for small-diameter material, and a mature trunk is felling and removal work, priced as tree work. Both get assessed on one visit, so a fence row holding privet and two dead hardwoods needs one opinion.

Three things. Where your boundary genuinely runs, because a fence is not proof of a line. Which trees you want left standing, ribboned so they land in the written scope. And what the ground has to do afterwards: mowable, walkable, fenceable, or just visible.
