Michael and Andrea built a house on their lot and in 1952 installed a concrete
driveway on the edge of their property that they believed to be 30 inches from
their property line with the Smiths. In the 30-inch strip they put topsoil and
planted grass. John died in 1983, and Anne hired a surveyor to survey her lot.
After the surveyor determined that the 30-inch strip actually was part of her
lot, Anne had a fence constructed adjacent to the edge of the driveway. Michael
and Andrea filed suit, claiming that they had title to the 30-inch strip.
