The concrete driveway job went pretty smooth other than weather restrictions.  Guys were very professional and explained the process to me. 

My yard had a lot of hard clay so tractor work was used to break up the yard.  We then installed the sprinkler system and laid down sod.

Everything was completed in stages and Lee, the owner was very accommodating.

"We met Mr. Haber at a local home show.  We had been searching in vain for someone to repair or install a new door. (He said he would only repair a door that he had installed himself.) He returned our call promptly, and said he could send a quote without measuring since the size is pretty standard.  He also told us about a used door that we might want., that had been in a display.  He sent us a picture of the door and we decided to take it.  It is a gorgeous Pella door with a screen, and it was half priced.
The job was scheduled, and two professional young men arrived fairly early on the date set. Our old door was very well attached, and it took a lot of patience and hard work to remove it.  They worked steadily, on a pretty hot day with no shade nearby, and were very polite and friendly.  When they finished the job, they cleaned the area well, leaving everything neat. 
I would use this remodeling service again, in fact I plan to in the near future.

Driveway Gates questions, answered by experts

A gate shouldn’t be higher or lower than the fence it's attached to. If the gate is lower than the fence, it encourages strangers to peek at your property. If the gate is higher than the fence, it just looks weird. Gates allow for increased security and aesthetics, so ensure the gate rests at the same height as the fence.

Thieves can open almost anything with enough time and the right tools, but they also prefer easy targets that are unlikely to get them caught. Forcing open gates is loud and difficult, and to be able to open one electronically requires extensive knowledge of the system, which most thieves don't have. Electric and other security gates are great deterrents because the thief will move to an easier target. If the thief is determined to enter your property, they will most likely find a different entrance point.

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.

Other mechanisms can help you keep your gate securely shut. Secure gate latch types will do the job, such as magnetic or spring-loading, self-closing lever varieties, or automatic gate openers. However, they won’t control the speed at which the gate closes. You can purchase slam plates that use rubber buffers to reduce noise and the potential damage-inducing impact of a fast-closing, heavy 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.
