Do you have just one variety of tree finding it's way into your fence? If so take note what time of year it sends out its seeds/nuts and make sure to get rid of any pesky sprouts early. Also if the saplings are from nuts, beware of squirrels also! I get black walnuts, maple and sumac saplings so I really understand where you're coming from.
Put down a layer of landscape fabric then put mulch over the top of it.
When the seeds blow up along fence line remove them before the open & especially before they germinate(vacuum them up,rake etc.);wet ground thoroughly then hand pull each one removing the whole tap root too don't let them get more than 3-4"s tall it'll be much harder;spray each seedling directly with Round-Up as they begin to grow. If you cut them off it just spreads the root system & they will be harder to remove . If the seeds are from your tree(s) & you can get to them remove them before they fall off/blow off tree so you can control where they are going-Garbage. Trim them off of trees before they even seed, if it's a actually flowering tree do it right after flowers begin to form the seeds.
Thank you for the helpful answers! Will try them.
