What to do about keeping bottom of new vinyl fence clean & safe from mower blades & string trimmer?
As you can see, the fence is already getting dirty, but that’s easy enough to clean on a regular basis. What I’d like to do is put mulch or stone down about six to twelve inches out from the bottom, so any lawnmower blades or string trimmers don’t get too close to it. My plan would just be to spray that area and maintain any weeding by hand. I was told mulch might not be the best idea because it can throw color (or something - they weren’t super clear) at the fence and end up discoloring it anyway. And as for stone, it’d look nice, but it’d be A LOT of stone and I also run the risk of an errant blade or string kicking one up into the fence. If anyone knows of another solutions, I’d appreciate it. submitted by /u/hammnbubbly [link] [comments]
