"Excellent job! Started working with Archers in January/February and by early March projected was installed. They were able to meet our design requirements without a significant change in the price of the project. Very professional and easy to work with, I'd gladly recommend them to other AL customers."

"Jeff Winton and crew at Aspen are great to work with. Quality work and fair price. Last year, they installed a three-rail red cedar split rail with galvanized welded wire and three gates for our backyard (about 1/2 an acre) in a day-and-a-half."

"This company was recommended to me by Century Tile a few years back and he did some work and  I was very satisfied so I kept his name for future projects. I have also referenced them to my family and friends with everyone being totally satisfied . The work he and his crew did for me has always been very proffesional and they start and finish.  I needed to upgrade alot of things in my house, a list from my wife, and George has a lot of experience with rehabbing so he was a perfect match.  His wife, Maria, is a great inside person getting all the materials ordered and delivered on time for every project.  My wife is happy with all the upgrades and I am happy for the great bundle discount he provided! If you have a lot of miscellaneous projects this company can do it with no problem."

Driveway Gates questions, answered by experts

For homeowners concerned about security, an electric gate may offer peace of mind. Electric gates will require a code or remote to open, so you don’t have to worry about young children getting out of the yard or someone breaking onto your property by simply swinging open the gate. But because it needs power to operate, installing an electric gate will be more complex and expensive.

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.

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.

Generally, the standard 10- to 12-inch-long and 1- to 1.5-inch-diameter gate springs will work. However, if you have an especially wide, thick, or heavy garden gate, you may need to opt for a longer, broader—and pricier—model to ensure secure closure and good longevity. These typically range between 12 and 16 inches long and are over 1.5 inches in diameter.

A DIY manual wooden gate costs $200 to $600 for a basic single-swing gate. If you want to hire a pro, a manual wood gate can cost $400 to $4,000. For automated wood gates, expect to pay $850 to $8,500.

Factors that affect price include the quality of materials, cost of labor, the height of the gate, and the type of gate you need.
