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 a gate be higher than the fence?

• <div><p>A gate shouldn&rsquo;t be higher or lower than the fence it's attached to. If the gate is lower than the fence, it encourages strangers to peek at your property. If the gate is higher than the fence, it just looks weird. Gates allow for increased security and aesthetics, so ensure the gate rests at the same height as the fence.</p></div>

Q: How do I maintain a chain link fence?

• <div><p>Regularly check for rust, tighten loose bolts, and remove debris buildup to extend the fence&rsquo;s lifespan.</p></div>

Q: What is the lifespan of composite fences?

• <div><p>One of the best features of composite fences is their long lifespan. You can expect your composite fence to last <b>20 to 30 years</b>. It lasts long because it consists of recycled plastic and wood fibers. The plastic offers durability that wood alone can&rsquo;t provide. It&rsquo;s mold- and rot-resistant, as well as weather-resistant. </p></div>

Q: How strong are glass fences?

• <div><p>Glass fences are extremely strong. You can drop 10mm thick tempered glass on concrete and it wouldn't break. Considering that certain types of glass are bulletproof, glass has the capacity to be exceptionally durable and resistant to breaking. Certain types of glass, like laminated glass, are designed to not shatter at all, but rather break into giant pieces.</p></div>

NN Fence did an excellent job. After asking for several quotes and receiving complaints regarding the land, the amount of roots and other things, NN Fence accepted the job and gave me the best price. They were punctual with the scheduled time and left everything clean. I recommend them to...

Ken is so knowledgeable and professional. He installed my electric fence and spent a lot of time training my dog ( and me) on how to work with the fence so that the dog will respect the boundaries.

I left this veterinarian due to the management of my animals. My dogs became very fearful. I took them to a new vet and didn't have these issues at all. We ended our relationship because they recommend my animals be anesthetized just for check ups. The new vet said that this was not the best...

"Ken, the owner of Northeast Dog Guard, was amazing. I have a very highly active and very fast large dog. She is 35 lbs., and we had her only 4 weeks when Ken came to our rescue. We have tried GPS collars (2 to be exact) and they were unpredictable. Our dog would run the GPS fence because one day it works and the next day it would not. The boundaries also shifted based on satellite positions. Not worth the expensive investment. Not with Ken’s and Northeast Dog Guard collar. He arrived on time on schedule, even on the rainiest day and worked with me and my large puppy to install and train her. Within 3 days she was walking the property without a leash and understood the boundaries. Now two weeks later we don't have any worries. She is safe and stays on the property even when she sees animals and other dogs. She is running and has the best time ever. I highly recommend Ken and Northeast Dog Guard. He understands and stands 100% behind his product and success. Thank you so much"
