My ground is not level.

Panels are racked or stepped to the grade so the top line stays deliberate instead of wandering.

Can you match a fence that is already there?

Usually. Picket profile, rail height and spacing get measured off the existing run rather than guessed from a photograph.

How deep do the posts go?

Deep enough for the panel height and for the ground it is going into. That is a calculation, not a habit.

Do I need a pedestrian gate in the run?

One somewhere sensible is the thing nobody regrets and plenty of people come back to add later.

Sweetwater · Miami-Dade County

Ground is rarely level and a fence set as if it were shows it immediately. Panels are either racked to follow the slope or stepped in clean increments — both are decisions, and the wrong one is visible from the road.

City boundaries are short runs with a lot of returns. The corners and the step-downs are where a fence line either looks considered or looks improvised.

Older inland streets mix construction from several decades, so two openings on the same block are not necessarily the same problem.

Two approvals, not one

Anything structural at the property line in Miami-Dade answers to the High-Velocity Hurricane Zone standard, and that is what sets the frame and the fixings. Separately, Sweetwater runs a local review, and where a homeowners' association governs the street it generally runs one of its own. Neither is a thing to discover after fabrication.
