How to plan a secure garden boundary that really works

For a truly effective garden boundary that isn't just decorative, start by identifying what you're keeping in or out—dogs, deer, or trespassers. A ditch or raised berm works better than a fence for many critters, while a 6-foot chain-link with wooden slats gives both privacy and security. Bury the bottom a foot deep to stop diggers, and leave no gaps at gates. Thorny shrubs like hawthorn along the inside create a living barrier that's both beautiful and a real deterrent.
