Neither scenario is good in the first, the fence may need to be replaced and in the second, the fence is removed so safety is diminished during that time. The next problem is maintenance because grass grows so either someone will have to use a grass trimmer along the fence line, which will damage and even ruin the fence when they hit it with the trimming coil, or the fence will have to be taken down during lawn maintenance. The first problem is the sagging mentioned above because it is watered to maintain the grass, which causes the soil to soften, loosen, and fence poles to eventually lean causing the fence mesh to sag. While some companies might be willing to do it to get a job, it is not recommended without installing a curb. We are often asked if fence can be installed through grass. Having two strong points in close proximity, coupled with the attachment method we use in short soil distances, makes it safe. That way the fence is strong at the deck, supported in the soil, and has a strong attachment point by the perimeter fence. For this reason, we recommend short distances when our fence transitions from primarily being installed in the deck to a small portion of soil. All it takes is the first solid rain for the soil to soften and allow the fence to become loose if installed over long distances. The reason is that posts installed directly into soil settle and sag over time making the fence look bad and possibly even creating safety concerns if neglected. Pouring a concrete curb is recommended, even required for best results, when fence is to be installed over a longer distance. Unless special measures are taken, like pouring a concrete curb, the fence should be installed in a straight line from the deck to the perimeter fence. This method works well for short distances.

Our Technicians can install a device to receive our pole in the dirt section. Installation of pool fence that passes through a planter to connect to a perimeter fence does not typically require special preparation beyond making sure bushes and other plantings do not impede the area where the fence is designed to be installed. There are several situations when installation in soil is requested including: planters, grass, slope (hillsides), and artificial turf.
