"Our driveway gate was outdated and difficult to use we decided to replace it. The installation crew arrived on time, worked efficiently, and paid attention to every detail. The final result is strong, secure, and beautifully finished. We couldn?t be happier with the service"

"Right Way Garage Doors did a fantastic job replacing the torsion spring on our garage door. We had worked with this company about 12 years (when they were called Chandler). They did a great job then and a great job again. Their technician (Aidan) arrived on time, knew what he was doing and did a great job. These folks really know what they are doing, they inspire confidence and trust and have very reasonable pricing. If we ever need help again, these guys will be the first ones we call. These guys stand behind their work because they get it done right the first time."

"The work took a day and a half - start to finish. I spoke with Vince Buggiano the day prior and detailed the work needed to be performed.  He also had the chance to speak to my neighbor regarding the job, given that there were branches that extended out onto his property, and my neighbor expressed  what he would liked done.  I was only present during the two mornings  while the work was done. After the first day, the majority of the work had been performed. The property was as "picked up" as possible but not a mess. It was clear that they had already moved a lot of the cuttings  By midday the next day, Vince called to let me know that they had finished. I drove to the house where Vince met me and we reviewed the work. Everything had been picked up - all the cutting plus all the tree "garbage" from the job and then some.  The yard was spotless.  In speaking with the neighbor who had been present during the day he said that there was a lot of branches and trimmings  (even on his driveway) and that he was pleased at how well they cleaned everything up. In addition he express his pleasure that the branch he wanted removed had been removed.  He said he would definitely call them when he needed tree work.  Since I was not present during the day for the work, I was pleased at how responsible the workers were.  It was clear from the first day that I did not need to be concerned at not being present.  Although I would have like to have seen the guys cutting the branches off from up high!  FOOTNOTE: I had tree maintenance performed about 5-6 years ago with another individual. Cost me about $2000 for 3 trees, the cuttings were left on the sidewalk curb for green pickup, and I still needed to do additional clean up after the work had finished. With that comparison, I think ABout Green Lawn Car gave me an excellent deal and service.

Used About Green again to remove two stumps. His crew was in and out in a matter of minutes is seemed. Workers came in did the job and were out. Areas were clean after the job.  No stumps anymore, Yay!"

"After having worked with Nathan previously on deck and driveway, we decided to remodel kitchen. The work was efficient, the crew was very good at what they did and courteous. Nathan is very easy to get in contact with for questions etc. Any small hiccups were accommodated and made up for. All of the work looks and works very well.

Driveway Gates questions, answered by experts

Yes, most electric and automatic gates can be opened manually. They are equipped with a manual override or release mechanism that detaches the motor from the gate, allowing it to be moved by hand. This feature is essential during power outages or other emergencies.

To activate the manual override, you will typically need a specific key or tool. In some cases, you may also need a screwdriver to remove a cover to access the release mechanism. The use of a key is a common security measure to prevent unauthorized individuals from manually opening the gate.

Because every model is different, it is highly recommended to consult your gate's user manual to familiarize yourself with the specific procedure before you need to use it. Keep any necessary keys or tools in an accessible location. Be aware that automatic gates can be very heavy, so opening and closing them manually may be difficult.

In North America, electric gates are also subject to the UL 325 Standard for Safety, which includes provisions to allow emergency responders to access the property.

The best direction for a gate to swing depends on its location and purpose, but swinging inward is the general rule. An inward swing is often considered safer, prevents the gate from opening into public spaces like a sidewalk, and may be required by local building codes.

There are exceptions and specific considerations. If your property is on a slope, an inward swing might not be possible. For a deck gate, it's safest to have it swing away from any steps. In a backyard, the direction can be a matter of preference, though an inward swing can be helpful when carrying heavy items like a wheelbarrow into a garden.

Regardless of direction, ensure the gate can open fully without hitting any objects or blocking spaces. While an inward swing is standard, a gate that can swing both in and out offers the most flexibility if your setup allows for it.

Installation typically takes 1-3 days, depending on the gate type and site conditions.

If you only use your gate as a pedestrian, walking through without a vehicle, you’re fine to stick with a single fence gate. If your fence opening needs to accommodate vehicles of any kind, from cars to trucks to 4-wheelers, then a double fence gate will suit the space much better and give you more freedom. 

While there’s no hard evidence to support this idea, driveway gates at least provide an additional obstacle that may deter crime. After all, a would-be burglar or trespasser would have to break into the gate and the property itself. The extra work could encourage them to move onto a house without a driveway gate.
