A Fence with a little Curb Appeal

If you are like me you might always be looking for the next best way to make your life a little easier. I love a clean yard with well maintained grass right up to a fence line. However sometimes if can be hard to get your mower up that close. You might drag out your weed eater to get in tight next to the fence. Or have items that grow under it. Well I wanted my next fence to not face those challenges.

I had a thought not long ago when I was trimming my law near my fence how great it would be to have a concrete curb the separated the grass from the fence. That way when I was mowing I could get in tight enough to the fence and get that great clean line without having to take out the weed eater.

Our latest fence project I got to test my theory and if you ask me I think it looks pretty great and is super practical. Another advantage to a curbed fence is animals cant escape. My dogs are old now but in their younger years they liked to dig their way under our fence. So if you have a crazy digging dog this would be a great way to correct his behavior.

If you are in the market for a new fence or a repair consider a concrete bottom.
We also got creative with the gates on this project by adding planter boxes and solar light tops on one and trellises on the others.
