I do landscaping for a living. Hold your weed eater upside down and at an angle.

And ALWAYS wear safety glasses.

[lukeclarke]

I usually just take the fence down, mow then reinstall the fence.

This method also works when trimming along chain link fencing. Slow down the head and the string will wrap around the links getting the sneaky ones hanging out behind it.

Everyone saying he’s scratching the fence hasn’t weed whacked very many of these vinyl fences before. There is no way to accomplish what he did without hitting the fence some. String trimmers cut in circles so it can’t reach into the corner without some finesse. Plus even on a straight section you have to rub the fence a little bit to get a clean even cut. This is actually a great tip and something I discovered organically while working with my friend who owns his own lawn care business. Without doing this the corners just grow super tall and look ugly/unkept. The fact that weed eaters damage these fences over time is just one of the many flaws of these fences. You’re not just gonna not weed eat your fence to prevent damaging it.

My girl said the same thing, I need to quit jamming it in there and feather it in. This video explained what she was talking about, thank you!!

How to scratch the hell out of your fence and scalp the shit out of your grass.

You'll never have to weed eat that spot again, you scalped the life out of it!

When I was landscaping we had a trick for tight spots. In this situation we would turn the weedeater so that the bump head faced the fence, we would cut the string super short and tilt it so that we could get close to the fence without hitting it. The line would be shortened so that you could bring the tip of line to the edge of the post and move it towards you to trim the tops. I feel like a visual would be more useful for this but it's dark and raining and I'm not that dedicated. Hope this helps somebody.
This is also a legit trick but I would only do it on wood or metal fences to avoid chipping.

Now a quick tip on how to remove the grass stains along the fencing you just put there. I actually use sanitizing wipes. The alcohol in them remove the grass stains pretty well. 👍

My boss: “what’s the hold up?”
Me: “I’m feathering it”

[KWattmizer]

Thank you. Slower in the corners. Great tip. 😊

So glad i dont have to beat the shit outta my fence since i was sluck about weed and grass growth prevention 4 inches away on each side. Mower gets all of it without the need for weed wackin 😁

One day you're going to regret hitting that vinyl fence with that weed eater like that. That vinyl can't take it.

As someone who works for a company that installs these types of fences, I must say, a LOT of people end up breaking that bottom rail this way. For the record, to fix a bottom rail we charge $300..

For 40 yrs I spray both sides of fence with Diesel from a pump sprayer to kill grass. One application per year works great

[flyfish]

Use a spray so shut doesn’t grow directly under your fence….did lawn care for years and that’s exactly why we did it…so all the Milwaukee dads dont muck up a plastic vinyl fence..

[bikeman]

I had a small cordless weed wacker that was under powered. I used it to do all my fences. It worked great and didn’t damage my fences. I used to big boy for everything else.

[kinggzz]

here’s a quick tip, spray a mist of pouson along your fence three inches off the ground then spread 6 inch wide mulch bed. never weed eat again.

The real tip is to keep your line shorter to get deeper in the corner.
