What can I put along the foundation of A pole building to prevent wee
The usual solution is to make a border along the edge of the wall by removing a little dirt, putting down landscaping cloth (to prevent growth,) and covering it with gravel.
In most areas you can also get coloured gravel if the 'decorator' in the family has any input.
If the gravel ends up flush with the grass, or slightly lower, then the added advantage is you can mow right over it and there is no trimming required.
Also, if there are no evestroughs, the gravel prevents erosion and mud splashing up the wals caused from rain water pouring off the roof.
Best of luck.

I think a re-read is in order.
"The usual solution is to make a border along the edge of the wall by removing a little dirt, putting down landscaping cloth (to prevent growth,) and covering it with gravel."
Without the landscape fabric, the gravel will indeed disappear in short order. With it in place, and covered, it will be many, many years before anything grows there.
I have some down in places that has been there well over 15 years, and there is still no sign of any growth.
Best of luck.

HF, no pesticides at all. Healthy turf doesn't need it.
I suspect it has more to do with "The grass and dirt was all over it." than anything else. Landscape fabric has no chemical growth inhibitors or anything in it that will stop plants growing ON TOP of it.
The weather is pretty warm here too, I'm only a little less than 300 miles north of you, and don't have the Atlantic Ocean to moderate the summer heat.
Best of luck.

HF, I know just how bad it gets, I spent some time at Quantico, it's not any cooler there.
But I do agree, there will always be some maintenance, it's just a matter of trying to keep it to a minimum.
Best of luck.
