Grass under the fence at the property boundary - do you leave it standing?

Hello,
after we slowly wanted to design our garden, I noticed how everywhere right at the fence (chain link/stake mat) to the neighbors, grass that cannot be mowed away grows tall at the bottom. Overall, it doesn’t look very attractive. The lawnmower always leaves a few centimeters of grass strip at the fence. Even a trimmer doesn’t manage to cut all the blades of grass.

How did you solve it? Or do you just let the grass/weeds grow? There are probably garden owners who place edging stones or paving stones directly at the fence edge. But of course, that could only be done directly at the fence on one’s property boundary. And our garden is unfortunately quite uneven (see photo), so we couldn’t put edging stones, it would probably look very unstructured with the uneven lawn area.

You can probably do that too. Put mulch or wood chips underneath. But you have to cut the lawn along the fence once...

I can recommend this thread. https://www.hausbau-forum.de/threads/guenstiger-garten-bei-neubau-wie-am-besten-vorgehen.43127/

When it comes to garden design, you don’t have such a strip. If you are the one who (also) just wants a neat lawn, possibly with precise "edge-cutting stones," which are not possible for you, then I recommend an edge trimmer or something similar.

Build a mowing edge. Alternatively, go through with the brush cutter every few days :p

Plant a few shrubs and a perennial bed in front of the [Maschendrohhhtsaun]! Privacy screen, nice to look at, and good for birds and insects.
