I wonder if there is a concrete footing under the fence? That would limit the root system. If so, you may have to plant a little farther away from the fence.
However, it may be a good idea to plant something that at maturity will only get as tall as the fence. Podocarpus grow 10 ft.+ Why set yourself up for continual struggle?
These grow faster than you think they will.
A shrub that is 10 ft. at maturity will not thrive when continually carved down to 3 ft. anyway.
If you desire inspiration, google Southern Living Plant Collection and find the shrubs section.
There are numerous shrubs that would work for your needs.
Southern Living does mail them to you (as babies) if you can't find /order them locally.
Big box stores carry some SL varieties and you can order though them. I have.
Good Luck. Stop wrestling.
