I also decided that my yard needed to be fenced off, not so much for pigs as for stray dogs. But after an estimate of of approx. $10,000 for a 5 foot high chain link fence with gate....I decided to do it myself, but not with fencing....with rock. I had my backyard ripped many years ago and decided to use the rock to build the wall. Took me about 9 months by myself to build a four foot wall around my 1 acre property in HPP. Of course being retired I could devote all my time to the job. Looks pretty good if I do say so myself. Total cost for the job....$1500.00 which was mostly cement and a couple of gates to bordering properties.
