"Mike and his team did an excellent job from beginning to end! He went over some pricing on different types and let US decide, but also gave his advice. Due to weather, the project had to wait a little longer, but Mike kept in contact and did what he said he was going to do in the initial meeting. We have a very sloping yard and Mike wasn't happy with one of the gate placements and came back out and changed it to make it right. I definitely recommend using Tristar Landscape and Fencing!"

"I recently had the pleasure of having Mark do some work for me installing several household appliances, and I couldn't be happier with the experience! From start to finish, he demonstrated professionalism, skill, and attention to detail. Mark arrived on time and came fully prepared with all the necessary tools. He took the time to explain each step of the process, ensuring I was comfortable and informed. The installations were completed quickly and efficiently, and he even went the extra mile to make sure everything was perfectly aligned and functioning properly. I highly recommend Mark for any handyman needs. I’ll definitely be reaching out for future projects!"

"I decided not to use them again in the future because they were unresponsive.

Theydid finally call me back and said they had left me a message several days before that they couldn't make the appointment due to a family issue.  I believe them, but think they left the message on some other number as I had nothing on my machine. I give them credit for trying, but I wish they had kept trying until actually reaching me in person."

Driveway Gates questions, answered by experts

Yes, clean regularly, lubricate hinges or tracks, and inspect for damage to ensure smooth operation.

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.

In most cases, you will need a permit to install a new driveway or property gate. An exception might be if you are simply replacing an existing gate. Before issuing a permit, your local municipality may require a site plan or survey to verify property lines and prevent encroachment on a neighbor's property. Permits for a gate typically cost under $100. Be aware that corner properties may have additional restrictions on gate height or style. It's wise to confirm permit requirements with your local building department or your gate installation company, which can usually handle the entire permitting process for you.

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.

Costs depend on system type, labor rates, and additional features like smart integration or professional monitoring.
