Look for sick trees. Elm trees are commonly afflicted with Dutch elm disease. As its name implies, the disease only affects elm trees, so if you see a tree with the symptoms of Dutch elm disease, you can safely conclude it is an elm.
1 The cost of repairing a fence is going to depend on the fence height, length, the materials, complexity of the installation, and type of repairs that need to be performed. 2  To give you an idea on what you are probably going to have to pay, plan on spending anywhere from $8 to $18 per linear foot for wood fence repair.
Ok, if you have a professional team come out and do your fence repair the basic costs are as follows. I called up a few different fencing companies and came up with a roughly average based on the pricing estimate I was given. To pull and replace a post is $130/each, if you have 2 posts you are looking at $260.If they have to add clips to the rails when attaching the fence back to the post it will cost an additional $15 (some places will supply this for free).he other cost associated with fixing your fence is the setup fee that several companies quoted me. A small fence setup fee was $150, essentially a built in cost to have them come out and get your fence back on the post.
