Q: How can I protect my pets from coyotes?

• <div><p>The best way to protect your pets from coyotes is to ensure they are always supervised when outside, especially during dawn and dusk when coyotes are the most active. When walking your dog, keep it on a short leash and carry something noisy you can use to haze any coyotes you may encounter.</p></div>

Q: How deep should a silt fence be buried?

• <div><p>You should dig a trench that&rsquo;s 6 to 8 inches deep so that when the silt fence stands up, it has at least 6 inches below ground. It&rsquo;s important to firmly bury your silt fence into the trench you&rsquo;ve dug to keep water from running underneath the fence into the pile of soil you&rsquo;re containing. </p></div>

Q: How do you replace a fence post without removing concrete?

• <div><p>Ideally, when you replace a fence post, you should also replace the concrete footing. The concrete bonds to your new post, creating a secure base. If you install a new post into old concrete, it won&rsquo;t be as sturdy.</p><p>That said, it is possible. Sometimes the post will lift right out of the concrete. If not, you can use a high-lift car jack to try and lift the pole out of the footing. Put the new post into the same hole and backfill it with fast-setting concrete. Keep in mind, this won&rsquo;t work well for metal posts.</p></div>

Q: Are silt fences effective?

• <div><p>Silt fences are very effective when installed correctly and used in proper locations. However, there are places where they don&rsquo;t work as well. This includes property with a concentrated water flow, where runoff could pool or cause a flooding hazard. You&rsquo;ll also want to use caution when installing in areas susceptible to landslides. Your contractor will follow state guidelines and know when an alternate solution is more effective.</p></div>
