Sounds like an easement to me which means you can't do anything on or over it--it's like they own it--which they do. And if you do put it up they have the right to tear it down and charge you for it. And if fact you could be prosecuted for trespassing.

 fencing

I think using landscape timbers for fencing is a bad idea. Timbers just are not rated to be submerged in wet conditions. The open end grain will wick water up like a straw. Ever pick up a timber that's been in contact with the ground for a season? It'll have earthworms and other bugs under and in it.

Murf these posts that you plant are they from seed or transplant?

Seriously though, the utility co's here simply drill a 4 foot hole a bit larger than the post and drop them in with little to no tamping. However on the Gulf coast where there is nothing but sand where they drilled post holes they use expanding foam as backfill.

The pea gravel idea sounds good on paper, but what if you have a high water table (as little as 12"Wink yeah right like we do here? It would seem no gravel should be used otherwise it will create a soup bowl.
