"I highly recommend Kevin Martin and his company, Hegel's Hedges. We recently employed them to build a deck, replace a bathroom floor and install a new toilet, and repair a kitchen cabinet. Kevin's quote was very reasonable and all work was done in a timely manner and exceeded our expectations. In addition, our homeowner's association employed Kevin's company to build a new dumpster enclosure and replace fencing for our 14 unit condominium complex. Kevin's bid was by far the most reasonable of the three bids that we solicited. In my experience as an HOA board member and private client, Kevin and his team show up exactly when promised and work very efficiently. I can recommend Kevin and his company without hesitation."

"I called at 8pm on Friday he was here 7:30am Saturday morning. We moved in and found out our well was no good and that we needed a new septic system. Plus some work inside that we knew about. We called a few places just to get prices because a lot of companies try to take advantage of people our age and when I tell you he showed up gave a price a lot less than what the other companies gave and told us what needed to be done not what he wanted to do unlike the other places. I would highly recommend him and his crew I already have a few of my neighbors loved the guys and came and asked for there number good luck Christopher with your company and thank you from the bottom of my heart"

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.

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.

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.

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.

Locksmiths offer keyless entry systems, high-security locks, panic bars, electronic access control, and biometric security solutions.
