At first glance that seemed like a good idea to me too. I moved here 6 years ago and had the visual barrier planted. Bad idea. Water use is very expensive. Generally $90/month. After you water them you have to trim them. It never ends. But it sure looks good. After a couple of months of my 3 dogs escaping I got the Invisible fence. My dogs wear their collars all the time when we are home. One of the dogs ran across the line in the driveway the first week we had it. She was so scared she ran right back in. The others saw that and they never have tried to cross again unless they need new batteries. We I added a room to my house I had the fence moved so they wouldn’t get near the construction. Worked perfectly. After construction I had the fence moved back. One of my dogs is deaf, but with the training and flags and watching the other two dogs she has never had a problem. Hope this helps.
