Hello,

My neighbor mows his grass once a month (or two) and has weeds growing rampant. They are growing underneath my fence. I spent an hour or so digging up all the weeds.

How do I prevent weeds from growing underneath my fence?

I was thinking of Master Mark Plastics Landscape Edging 6 Inch by 20-Foot https://www.amazon.com/Master-Mark-P...eywords=edging

The first pic is my driveway.

2nd pic is the rocks beneath the fence.

3rd pic is the rocks scattered.

Any suggestions?

thanks!

Spray weed killer whenever a weed shows up on your side.

Oh geez.....then have a 6' solid white pvc fence installed because in just three short months your neighbor's leaves will be blowing thru your fence onto your lawn.

Yes, you could get a solid fence that goes all the way to the ground.
That would stop leaves, as well.
Or, you could find a hobby to fill your time.

Spray Round-up weed and grass killer.

Ground Clear. It's a more potent version of Round Up.
It kills the weeds and keeps them from growing back.
The downside is that it contaminates the soil, so as long as you don't want to grow anything there at some point I would use that.

I heard Vinegar works great on weeds.
