AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

[0005] The general idea for the invention came from I, myself, the inventor noticing the problem of ground foilage such as grass, trees, and weeds growing in fence lines. With the invention, this problem can be solved by stopping sunlight from reaching the ground and by covering up a 12 inch wide path of ground directly underneath the fence with a rigid plastic. The invention will lay directly against the ground and run in line with the fence. The invention being made of a 0.045 inch thick material by 12 inch wide by 8 feet 6 inches long polyethylene plastic and being dark in color will accomplish the goal set forth to stop growth of ground foilage in a fence line. An advantage in the invention after it is installed properly is it will allow a person to use a lawnmower to get the growth of foilage next to a fence because the invention will stick out 6 inches each side of the fence and lay flat on the ground. No weed-eating. This will save a person a great deal of time with their lawn and property care and upkeep. IDENTIFICATION OF DRAWINGS
