"They were outstanding! They came in and got the job done, didn't bother anything or anyone, didn't use any foul language. 450 ft of fence was done in 2 1/2 days. The owner's wife, Cindy, is a very sweet person, very personable yet efficient. I would highly recommend them!"

"Hired Aquabear services to handle some simple projects around our house. Expected a professional manner ,but found myself having to initiate calls to them due to no shows for them to say it was due to someone being sick. I understand sickness, but it would be nice to RECEIVE the call from them. I was told they would arrive first thing in the morning and no one would show until after noon... multiple times. Lastly, we now have an unfinished patch on our house because no one ever came back to finish. I’’ve learned my lesson on paying in advance since the services requested were not fully completed; even after contacting Dave . Pool services may be the better quality service of this company, but for anything else, you have to have time and money to spare. Very disappointed. Very Good people, not so good professionalism."

Driveway Gates questions, answered by experts

Wood, wrought iron, aluminum, and steel are common materials. Choose based on durability, aesthetics, and maintenance needs.

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.

Your gate should be 3/4 to an inch smaller than the opening. The opening size that you need for your gate can vary depending on your hinge type. You may also need to add reinforcing braces if the gap between your gate and the fence is not uniform from top to bottom.

While spring gates close gently but firmly, they’re not a foolproof solution for securing your yard to prevent pets or kids from escaping or unwanted guests from entering. Installing a gate latch that is sturdy and lockable with a self-closing mechanism is more effective, especially when used alongside other methods for keeping your home safe, such as cameras or motion detectors.

The best under-gate dog barrier is one that extends to the ground. This effectively keeps dogs in and won't give them room to squeeze through. However, dogs that dig can still get under the barrier. Deter digging by paving the ground beneath the gate or filling it in with rocks or gravel. Be careful using wire to extend dog gates, as the sharp ends may cut or hurt your dog's paws.
