Use a 1by 6 board to nail along the bottom of your fence.
Nail some 1x6's horizontally along the bottom, ideally, I would plant some evergreens along the fence line to hide the gaps. Or, install a raised flower bed with pavers around the whole bed.
I had the same problem. Our neighbors have 2 small dogs that stuck their heads under and barked at us when we were in the back yard. I went to Lowes and bought some mini flagstone . I dug down and put gravel or you could use sand. Then laid the flagstone so they came close to the bottom of the fence. This has worked quite well. We then planted different bushes along the fence. I hope you can enlarge this picture. Good Luck.
You could buy some bark at Home Depot and spread it about 12" wide at the bottom of the fence, deep enough to hide the gaps.
Fill dirt and soil and grass seed maybe.
Have you thought about good old fashioned cinder blocks? I know they aren't that pretty but if you paint them, you can set them with the holes up and put in either real or faux flowers. When you decide what to do please post it!!
Use landscape blocks or paver blocks along the fence.
i would put monkey grass around the bottom. It is cheap, it doesn't require a lot of care and really hard to kill. It stays green year round and when you get it you can take it out of the pot and shake the dirt out of its roots. You will see there are a whole lot of single plants that make the large plant. It will multiply and fill in more each year.
Thanks for all your great suggestions! You have given me several ideas to ponder on .......... I'll have to see what I think will work best.
Good idea - I have some monkey grass that I can transplant
You could level the land and add a skirting board or add bricks or concrete edging etc.
