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>

What’s the easiest way to replace a fence post?

• <div><p>There are two things you can do to make a fence replacement easier—but keep in mind that easier doesn’t mean better. First, you can use a jack or some other type of machinery to pull the post out of the ground. If that’s not available, a digging bar can help.</p><p>Second, you can backfill the hole with gravel rather than creating a concrete footing. Keep in mind, gravel is less secure. You should only use it if you’re installing a lightweight fence or have heavier, clay soil.</p></div>

Q: Who is responsible for paying for a fence?

• <div><p>If you decide to add a fence that will border your neighbor&rsquo;s property, you should let them know in advance&mdash;but you can&rsquo;t make your neighbor pay for the fence. In some locations, like California, you both might be responsible for<a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-much-does-it-cost-repair-fence.htm"> fence repair costs</a> or maintenance unless other documented agreements are made.</p></div>

Q: Do fence posts need to be below the frost line?

• <div><p>Yes, fence posts need to be installed below the frost line to ensure stability and prevent heaving caused by freezing and thawing cycles. The frost line is the depth at which soil freezes during winter. By placing posts below this line, often around 3 to 4 feet deep or as recommended for your specific region, you reduce the risk of the ground shifting, which can lead to leaning or unstable fences. Adequate depth provides better anchoring and helps maintain the fence's integrity, ensuring it remains secure and upright throughout changing seasons.</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>
