"Much better than I could have ever hoped for. Damian and his crew were so awesome. Such attention to detail! And I'm Type A so that matters a lot to me. I had some special needs because I'm a gardener and some of my gardens butt up against the fence. I begged for them to be careful...not one leaf was damaged!!! I had San Diego Fence out for an estimate. They did not even want to touch it because it wasn't going to be something they could just slap up. Damian hooked me up with the solar driveway gate guy. He was also great! A few of the best things...Damian is on site the entire time, they listen, they get done quickly, they stay till it's finished (no 7-3 like so many others), super easy to work with, and best of all...way cheaper than anyone else. I guess the best review would be how many people keep stopping by to admire it AND Damian got 4 extra jobs from neighbors. I just can't express how impressed and thankful I am to the guys at GD Fence!"

"I had hoped that the project would be complete after 3-4 days. Unfortunately, the painter became ill and we lost a couple days of work. That said, I would still recommend them to anyone looking for professional and what I would consider very reasonably priced painters. When I drive up my driveway, the color is very dramatic and, even the white trim pops."

"Tom was an outstanding contractor.  His team worked diligently for 2+ months.  They were flexible, incorporating needs as the project evolved.  We did a TON of work.  Demo: removed patio, 14 trees, and existing greenery.  Fence work: repaired and refinished fences around entire perimeter.  Hardscape: built large new stone patio and sitting wall in back, extended front steps and built new stone walkway in front.  All new greenery (trees, plants, sod).  Redid drainage including large collection drains.  New irrigation.  New lighting including two transformers.  Driveway stain.  Everything was done professionally.

"Nice people, they claim to give a lifetime warranty including resealing seems or any problem at all. They showed up as scheduled, took a bit longer than expected. I was very happy with the way it looked when they were finished. Im still happy with the way it looks. After they left I noticed they had drilled a hole in my concrete walkway and pounded in rebar to mount a gate post but they didn’t plan it right and I believe they called the owner out who decided to put the post in a more suitable place. Unfortunately the cracked concrete with a flush cut piece off rusty rebar remains as an eyesore. After a month or two the gate post on the opposite side began pulling out of the stucco on the side of my garage. I took it apart to find they used cheep plastic anchors so i just went and replaced them with metal concrete anchors myself so its never coming out again. I figured despite the warranty id just get it done. Fast forward to present June 2019 and i noticed that 2 of the base plates of the fence are not fastened to the concrete on one end allowing them to swivel out of place when the neighbors gardener does yard work it pushes them out of place. I contacted Sonrise and was given a date two weeks away that they would show up but they could not give a time. Sounds stupid but fortunately I’m retired and can sit home all day waiting for them to show up because hey what else do i need to do right? never showed up. I emailed again and the Forman called and apologized said he’d be out the following Friday. Never called never showed up. I emailed again and its been a week and a half with no response. so much for that lifetime warranty. I am really happy with the way the fence looks but cutting corners on simple stuff has me a bit confused because when you say lifetime warranty to fix ANYTHING wrong. Well you’d expect no short cuts because then you’d have to come fix the problems ... Unless... you have no plans to fix anything at all. I don’t care to write a review like this but when you jerk a customer around then just ignore them what else is left to do?"

The construction went very well with no disturbances and the workers left the site tidy and clean every day. All the staff were very responsive. We highly recommend the company."

Driveway Gates FAQs, answered by experts

Yes, professionals can install gates with locking mechanisms and access control systems for added security.

Each has its use, depending on the scenario. Security doors are primarily intended to keep people out of the home, while storm doors are used to protect the home from extreme weather. Both tend to be made from heavy-duty metal and may include glass panels to allow light to enter the home. Storm doors can feature mesh screens, just like screen doors, to allow for increased ventilation and to keep out pests. Security doors rarely, if ever, have mesh screens.

When building an outdoor or deck gate, it's crucial to use durable wood that can withstand harsh weather conditions like sunlight, rain, wind, and snow. Redwood and cedar are excellent choices as they naturally resist decay. While redwood is considered more elegant, cedar is a more affordable option. Other suitable woods include oak and pressure-treated pine, which is specifically treated to resist rot. Although some softwoods like pine are popular, untreated softwoods such as pine and spruce should generally be avoided for outdoor projects because they are susceptible to damage from water, rot, and the sun. Ultimately, it's wise to consider your local climate when selecting the right wood for your gate.

Ideally, a gate should be able to swing both in and out. However, if it can only open in one direction, it is generally best for it to swing inward. This is often the safest option, especially for deck gates near steps, as you'll want the gate to swing away from the stairs. An inward swing also prevents the gate from opening into a public space, like a sidewalk, and can be more convenient when carrying heavy items like a wheelbarrow into a garden.

There are exceptions, however. The layout of your property may require a different approach. For example, if your property is on a slope, the gate may not be able to swing inward. You should also ensure the gate can open fully without colliding with any objects or blocking access to other areas. For a backyard garden gate where public access isn't a concern, the direction it swings is largely a matter of personal preference. Finally, always check your local building codes, as they may have specific requirements for which way a gate must swing.

Electric gates can be forced open if someone applies enough force to the edge furthest from the mounting bracket. You can reduce this risk by adding an electric lock to your gate opener. However, automatic gate openers generally help deter intruders, especially when paired with outdoor lighting and security cameras. Other home security tips include trimming trees surrounding the area for added visibility and installing motion sensors in your yard.
