I plan to remove a chain link fence from my back yard. I have read
plenty of posts suggesting different ways of doing this, and sense I
cannot get a vehicle into my back yard, I plan to dig out the posts.
However, I am concerned about the holes that will be left behind. No
one seems to mention the best method of refilling these holes. What
is the best practice for refilling the post hole? Should I use dirt,
sand, a combination of both, or something else? Thanks for your input.


Topsoil should work well if you are planting something on top. I'd
fill these holes as soon as possible to prevent injury or liability.
You might advertise your fence for a low cost (or even free) but the
buyer must remove it--that will save you some work.
