We replaced some rotting fence panels and decided to raise the new fence up off the ground to prevent rot.
The neighbour landscaped their back yard which left the level of their grass about 8 inches lower than ours. With our raised fence we find there is nothing retaining the dirt in our yard. I've used some clay roofing shingles to temporarily bridge the gap under the fence. Furthermore, we now have a dog who loves to dig under the fence if she sees a gap.
I'm looking for something esthetically pleasing that I might use to butt up against the fence to retain our dirt and lawn. The wife is quite unhappy with the dishevelled look of roof tiles stuck in the ground under the fence.
We considered railway ties/sleepers, but at =A325 each, we'd need to spend =A3100 to do the 40 feet length of fence. It'd be nice to find a cheaper solution.
Thanks in advance for any suggestions.
