Is a Stone Wall (with some cement) a capital improvement to property for purposes of adjusting basis?

Question

We added a long stone wall to our property. The stones have some mortar to hold it together. Is this a capital improvement, such that it can be added to the cost of the house when calculating basis upon sale some day?

Answer 1

Anything which is a permanent fixture on a property is considered an improvement in terms of calculating basis, whether or not said improvement actually results in an increased value to the property.

Answer 2

Yes it is.
