For paved driveways: 

 

• 

When cutting across a paved 

driveway, use some sort of mark or 

guide. Ex: Chalk 

 

• 

Cut across driveways with a 

circular saw that has a masonry 

blade attached.  Sweep away debris. 

Circular saw used to cut across paved 

driveways.

 

• 

At the near side of the driveway, wrap the wire around a wooden peg and 

pound it completely into the ground.  

 

• 

Place the wire in the cut across the driveway. 

 

• 

At the far end of the driveway, again wrap wire around a wooden peg and 

pound the peg into the ground.  This will ensure that the wire is taut and 

secure across the driveway. 

 

• 

Cover the cut in the driveway with driveway sealer.   

 

• 

Continue to bury the wire around the house. 

 

5.  For wooded areas or other areas where burying the wire is difficult, place the 

wire on the ground.  Stake wire every 15–20’ and at bends to hold stationary. 

 

6.  For water-covered areas (streams, etc.) lay the wire across the bottom surface.  

Secure the wire with heavy objects.  Ex:  Bricks
