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: How long does a chain link fence last?

• <div><p>Chain link fences last 20 years on average, which is five to 10 years longer than wood fences. With proper care and maintenance, your chain link fence could last 30 years. If you purchase a chain link fence with vinyl-coated mesh or galvanized steel, the lifespan could be even longer. </p></div>

Q: Do snow fences really work?

• <div><p>Snow fences work well when they are correctly installed. This snow tool disrupts the wind flow and reduces the amount of snowdrift in specific areas, such as roads, walkways, and buildings. Of course, the effectiveness of the snow fence depends on various factors, such as fence type, height, and wind patterns.</p></div>

Q: Should I repair or replace my fence?

• <div><p>If 20% or more of your fence is damaged, pros will often tell you that it&rsquo;s a better use of your money to replace the fence entirely. Severe rotting and insect damage always call for a replacement. However, if you&rsquo;re just dealing with a few loose posts or a little bit of mildew growth, you can repair the fence.</p></div>

Q: Is it cheaper to buy wood fence panels or build your own?

• <div><p>It&rsquo;s usually cheaper to buy pre-made fence panels than to build your own. This surprises many people since DIY tasks so often save money. However, large stores don&rsquo;t have to pay the same amount per board of wood that homeowners do, allowing them to sell pre-made panels at a more cost-effective rate. Pre-made panels also save a great deal of time, energy, and guesswork. The drawback is that they are harder to customize to the shape and slope of your yard.</p></div>

"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"
