As long as the fence is structurally sound, there generally are not laws about ugly, especially since that is a matter of opinion. There are sometimes ordinances about the height, the material, or blocking vision of roadways. Also, if you have a home owner's association, they will sometimes have rules that they can enforce, even if the police or government cannot.

An ugly fence is only illegal if it has no other purpose but to intentionally annoy the neighbors. This is called a spite fence. Louisiana does not actually have clear spite fence laws, like many other states do. If it violates other codes or laws, such as being too tall, on your property, or too close to a roadway, it can be approached from that angle.

Can planting be placed right next to a neighbors fence?

If the plants are on your property they may be planted along your neighbors fence. However, climbing plants that will grow over the fence cannot be planted along your neighbors fence. Caveat: Make sure your neighbor has not installed the fence "inside" their property line so it lies a short distance FROM the property line. That is the practice in some areas and is required by the city ordinances in some areas. In that case, the land along the fence would belong to your neighbor. You need to determine where the property line is located and not assume the fence is on the property line.

Land owner next to you intentionally put a fence up 12 inches over your property line before you bought your land and will not pay to move it to the property line or go half on it. What to do?

It is a trespass and if it is not removed upon your request, you can have a court order it to be removed. If you ignore this long enough, the neighbor may eventually be able to claim the property line has moved to the fence, and you will lose valuable land rights. On the other hand, you can also provide the neighbor with a "limited license" to use that strip of your property, and propose that he pay some nominal rent until such time as the fence is removed or other mutual agreement is made. That way the fence is no longer evidence of "hostile exclusion" which would be necessary for adverse possession.
