Devoted to ensuring residents throughout the Chicago land area the finest fence installation and maintenance. With more than 20 years, we’ve gained unique experience handling thousands of jobs with expert precision. As a family owned and operated business, we've been serving the Chicago land area for the past 9 years. Offering the best quality at the best price and treating our customers the way they want to be treated.

"I had A&M Fence come and replace the wood on a fence I had installed only 3 years ago. Rule #1 *never* have a landscaping company install a fence. The old fence was weather beaten, falling apart and the metal rusting; it looked 10 years old! A&M Fence replaced the boards with new cedar, replaced and secured the bolts, removed the rust and installed decorative spikes. The completed job vastly exceeded my expectations and I am very happy with the fence. I had to wait a few weeks for the install since they are busy, but they are worth the wait. I'm going to have them do other fence work and I've recommended them to my neighbor. They are professional and take pride in their work."

Driveway Gates questions, answered by experts

Redwood and cedar work well for gates because they resist decay and severe weather conditions. Redwood is considered more elegant, though cedar is more affordable. Other options include oak and treated pine. Avoid softwoods like pine and spruce for outdoor projects, as they are susceptible to water, rot, and sun damage.

Driveway gates are expensive to install, but they are usually a worthwhile investment. Not only does this exterior feature improve your curb appeal and, by extension, your property value, but they also help keep your home secure. Driveway can keep out unwanted guests and provide additional privacy for you and your household. Plus, they can serve as a means of keeping children and pets in your yard, depending on the type of fence.

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.

The obvious disadvantage of an automatic gate is that it runs on electricity. If the power goes out, it won’t open or close unless there’s a manual override. Many homeowners will need a backup generator so they don’t get stuck on either side of the gate, particularly when looking to park a vehicle. Automatic gates are also much more complicated than manual gates, with tech-heavy components that make them more expensive to repair.

You can install manual gates yourself. However, professional installation is recommended for automated or large gates to ensure proper setup.
