Letting ivy and climbing vines grow on your fence might look great for your Texas garden, but it is quietly destroying your investment.
Here is exactly what those vines are doing to your fence:
• Trapping moisture against the wood
• Prying pickets apart with their roots
• Accelerating rot and structural failure
To maximize the lifespan of your fence, keep all landscaping trimmed at least a few inches away.
Protect your property line by keeping the greenery in the garden.
