What adds more value: a fence or a wall?

• <div><p>Retaining walls offer more value to a home if they also divert water, prevent erosion, or help support a foundation. The ROI of a retaining wall is between 100% and 200%.</p><p>Both fences and walls can increase your home’s value, but you’ll spend significantly more on a wall than you would on a fence. A <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/stone-wall-cost.htm">stone wall costs</a> approximately <i>$5,000</i>, a retaining wall costs <b>$6,100</b>, and a fence costs <b>$3,200</b> on average to put prices in perspective. </p></div>

Q: Should my fence follow the ground or be level?

• <div><p>Most people prefer to keep the fence level by &ldquo;stepping&rdquo; the fence when running a horizontal fence over a slope. Stepping involves raising each panel between the posts as the fence moves over changes in slope, giving the fence line the appearance of stair steps. While this may be the preferred method of running a horizontal fence up a slope, there&rsquo;s nothing wrong with installing your fence so it follows the undulations in the ground instead.</p></div>

Q: What attracts armadillos to your yard?

• <div><p>Armadillos are attracted to water, so a leaky irrigation system or an overwatered lawn can encourage them to move in. They especially like wet areas where they can burrow and loose soil where they can dig for grubs. They are also attracted to dense ground cover, where they can often find food sources.</p></div>

Q: Is fence post foam as strong as concrete?

• <div><p>When comparing <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/expanding-foam-vs-concrete-posts.htm">fence post foam versus concrete</a>, concrete is considered more durable and stronger. Concrete is a stronger material that can handle larger amounts of weight, making it a good choice for load-bearing posts. For posts on smaller fences or fences made with lighter materials, like vinyl or wire mesh, post foam is a good choice.</p></div>

Q: What type of fence is best for a farm?

• <div><p>Many types of farm fencing can work well for your farm, but it depends on the type of animal you need to contain and the size of your property. If you want something quick and temporary, go with a metal T-post fence. If you need something that will last forever, go with a synthetic fence made of composite material or PVC. Electric and barbed wire fences are often chosen for docile livestock, like pigs and cows. </p></div>

Excellent! Patrick pays attention to detail. Very precise with his measurements and planning. Creative ideas; good vision when I don’t know exactly what I want. I have plans to have him do some brickwork and other projects as well.
