Fencing

Do we really have an issue with concrete posts

Thanks all who confirmed my suspiciouns. We find in fact go with another company who managed to clear the whole area and fitted a fantastic wood and concrete fence. Hello all, we are just getting fencing quotes for a large fencing job that includes getting rid of a dying old privet hedge. The people I have contacted are all well respected so this may be a stupid question. The first chap has said that due to the hedge and the state of the area (much neglected by previous owners), and as the hedge roots need to be taken out manually, there will still be big roots. He has recommended we don't have the concrete posts and gravel boards we were looking at, but to go for wooden post and panel. He said that when they hit bad roots that they can't get out, they'd have to move the post position inwards and trim any panels, so we wouldn't get a uniform appearance. It makes sense to me but please tell me if this is wrong.
