There may be gravel or river rock along the fence that has been buried

Probably a footing under the fence. Concrete would be my guess

I have this same issue. The concrete base of the wall is only about 3 inches deep, and is wider than the wall. Makes it hard for the bermuda to root. Super aggravating.

Or heat reflecting off the wall.

Probably a buried footer or radiant heat from the wall or both. If you can selectively get a bit more water on this area or just increase watering overall it should help. You could also try spot treating with hydretain. Stuff works wonders on localized dry spots.

Footing / concrete overflow means theres less depth to the soil. The wall is heating up during the day and its just cooking the roots. Burns all the moisture out quicker.

Looks like you have dog(s). Do they like to squeeze the lemon there?

sun reflecting off of the fence heats the grass up too much. You either need to water it a LOT, or put down some colorful gravel there.
you will see Espalier shaped fruit trees planted on such walls, for the same reason…a longer growing season.

If you use a string trimmer against it over and over again you might be taking too much off at a time.

Are we just calling giant cement walls “fences” now?

It appears that wall was browned, covered in concrete, it very well could be the wash out, spilled concrete when doing the work.

I roundup the edges to limit trimming, this guy must have been wasted

Game trail? Cats, dogs walk that path?

Do you have a dog? Are they walking the fence line?

Do you own a cheetah that roams the perimeter?

Heat from the wall

The wall’s footer isn’t allowing for water retention the way soil does. Maybe.

I think it’s the fence concrete footing grass has shallower roots probably only a couple of inches of dirt above that footing

ahh yes, i know this one. This is the heat reflecting off the wall on to this close grass.

Does water pool there after it rains? I’d imagine the concrete stays wet longer after a big rain and soaks that spot?
