Maintain With a Mower, Not a Trimmer — 

Mow over the edge each season, with an optional seasonal touch-up using a flat blade tool. No more weekly trimming or chemical treatments.

What Installation Involves

No specialized tools.
No construction experience required.

Installing UnderFence comes down to three basic actions: sliding panels under your existing fence, overlapping them at each post, and then securing them in place with rivets. That's it. The material naturally embeds into the grass beneath it over time, adding extra stability without any extra work on your part.

Maintaining UnderFence After Install

Mow over it. That's most of it.

UnderFence is designed to disappear into your normal mowing routine. That means no separate trimming or edging step required. A seasonal touch-up with a flat blade tool keeps the line sharp, but it's optional, not required maintenance. 

FAQs

Can UnderFence be installed on existing fencing, or does it need to go in with a new fence?
Both. It's easiest to install alongside new fencing, but the majority of UnderFence installations are on existing fences. For existing fencing, you’ll need at least ½ inch of clearance between the bottom of the fence and the ground to slide the panels underneath.
What if my fence is already touching or buried in the ground?
If the fence is just touching the ground, digging out a small amount of dirt or grass usually creates enough clearance. We don't recommend installing UnderFence if the fencing is buried into the ground.
Do I need any special tools to install it?
No. Most installs use a power drill, basic clamps, and rivets. That means no specialized equipment or construction experience is required.
Can UnderFence be cut or modified to fit my space?
Yes. It can be scored and cut to length with a utility knife, bypass shears, or a jigsaw, which is useful for smaller filler pieces or custom corner installs.
How long does installation take?
For a homeowner, most installs take about an afternoon. For larger commercial projects, a four-person crew can install roughly 1,000 linear feet in about two hours.
Do I need a contractor to install it?

No, though it's an option.

Most homeowners and grounds crews install it themselves. If a fencing contractor is already installing new fencing, they can typically add UnderFence for a minimal additional fee.
