Question 2

Jane's backyard consisted of about one acre, with one side bordering on her neighbor's property and the remaining two sides bordering on national forest property. Jane walked the chief designer for the landscaper around her backyard and showed him what she thought her property boundaries were. The landscaping company began its work and in the process of building the fence along Jane's neighbor's property destroyed shrubs that were actually on the neighbor's property, cut down two of the neighbor's trees, and damaged a portion of the neighbor's grass. Who is liable to the neighbors for the damages?
 A) Jane is liable because of her failure to verify the boundaries of her property.
 B) No one is liable - these things happen with neighbors.
