Nice job, Aggie. Y'all have done alot of work! The electric fence for dogs only works when the dog has the special zapper collar on. So unless you can get special zappers on the offending dogs, the fence won't work on those dogs. I'm assuming you're talking about an invisible fence and not an electric fence to keep cows contained.

Have you thought about grasses for the part that you haven't done yet? You could extend the bed into the bermuda grass part as far as you can get away with (silly HOA! They are so concerned about lawns but don't care about dogs!). Tall native grasses are beautiful, drought-friendly, interesting even in winter, and easy to care for. I just planted a bunch (25 or so) big Panicum virgatum 'Dallas Blues' and it's beautiful. Ask your hubby if they have any at his nursery. There may be other grasses that do well in your area, too.
