Stefan - if you live in a subdivision your property line "PL" may likely fall on the crack/seam between segments of the sidewalk. During construction the sidewalk is usually poured from PL to PL in the construction sequence of each home. It is also likely that an iron pin "IP" or piece of steel re-bar marks the property line just behind the curb or just behind the sidewalk. The IP will be below the turf but easily found with a metal detector. If you were to schedule a consultation for a fence quote the salesman would likely search for the IP in order to confirm the property line and fence dimensions. In addition to this you may also consider dividing the distance between the walls of you and your neighbors house and the "Drip Line" or overhang of each roof to find that the connected line from here to the IP is suitable for determining the property line. If you intend to install a fence or modify the Landscape then you'll want to confirm this line before construction. Also, check your closing documents for your home. A survey of the property should be included and will provide some helpful measurements as well as the surveyor's contact info who created the survey should you need to call them. Lastly, perform a Google search to see if your county/municipality has a GIS system that's available online and may provide you with GPS or other coordinates for your property corners.

Once the PL is defined any of the solutions offered above are suitable. If you choose to install landscaping be sure to allow for growth so that your new plants, in time, do not encroach onto your neighbors property.
