Question of the Week:

Mark from Texas writes,
“I am a huge fan of your show, but am only able to see it sometimes. I love that is on Amazon Prime now! We share a privacy fence with our neighbor in the backyard. They have a dog and we have a dog that likes to run beside the fence and bark at each other.

“Of course, there are bare spots on the lawn where our dog turns around. When it is wet, our dog tracks in the mud.

“What do you suggest for making it look nicer and reducing the mud getting tracked in? I’m sure many homeowners deal with this problem.”

We suggest planting shrubs to deter the dog from running close to the fence, or add a gravel or brick path to cover those bare spots.
