Grammar
divide/separate our garden from theirs
A fence divides our garden from theirs.
A fence separates our garden from theirs.
Do both of the above two versions mean about the same?
In addition, could a fence be either made up of trees or concrete steel? Thanks.

Hi Angliholic Yes, both are OK although I personally prefer 'separates'. I would not refer to a line of bushes or trees between two gardens or yards as a 'fence'. You might say that something like that "serves as a fence".
