Yes but you really ought to do WAY more than just 4-6" (!!!). I would not personally go less than 18", and more is often necessary if you have "professional" dogs/coyotes/foxes/etc that have learned there's a chicken dinner in there. I'd usually suggest 2-4' depending on situation (the larger dimension only if you have a known fox problem).
It can be either exposed (turn the edge down so predators don't notice it and you don't catch feet or lawnmowers on it), with the turf allowed to grow up thru it, or covered over with whatever you like (rocks, gravel, mulch, dirt, pavers, concrete rubble, etc)
Works about as well as buried wire, and since burial needs to be absolutely AT LEAST 12" and preferably at least 18" deep, the apron is EVER so much easier to construct in most situations.
Good luck, have fun,
