"I contacted Rocky the week of June 3, 2103 and told him of tree to be removed and he came by on June 10th while I was gone and surveyed the tree and property.  I spoke with him on June 10 th and he gave me the price and I said ok, let's get it done.  He said he would be there within the next couple of days....didn't show or call.  I called him end of the week and he said he would be there 17th or 18th and would call me to confirm, when I didn't hear left him a message to let me know which day.  No response and no show.Called him again and left message expressing we wanted the tree removed and that we may consider other work as well.  He returned call on the 25th and said he would break away and come by that day and look at what else we may want and price and do it all same day.  He didn't show.We called again July 1 asking when he would get this taken care in a message.  He called right back and said he would want to look at other work to combine all in one day as he was going to be bringing a crew of 6, my response was to tell him we would need some dirt brought into the back yard and leveled out, he said well if that was all he would have to come by to give a price.  At that point having been told that story before and it not happening I said let's just stick with the original plan to remove the tree as agreed on June 10th for the price quoted.  I asked when would he would schedule that, he said July 3rd or 5th, I said OK and he said he would call July 2nd to confirm that  (as I had been told on previous occasions and no call  came )  Today again was a no show nor no phone call.
I would have to say I could not recommend to anyone.  Integrity is all important in running a business and keeping your word as to work date is the basis of success.  I would be completely flexible if a phone call when have been made to tell me something has prevented me from getting there a certain day.  Rocky doesn't operate that way.  There has been 4 no shows to date.  Guess he has too much business."

Driveway Gates questions, answered by experts

The best direction for a gate to swing depends on its location and purpose, but swinging inward is the general rule. An inward swing is often considered safer, prevents the gate from opening into public spaces like a sidewalk, and may be required by local building codes.

There are exceptions and specific considerations. If your property is on a slope, an inward swing might not be possible. For a deck gate, it's safest to have it swing away from any steps. In a backyard, the direction can be a matter of preference, though an inward swing can be helpful when carrying heavy items like a wheelbarrow into a garden.

Regardless of direction, ensure the gate can open fully without hitting any objects or blocking spaces. While an inward swing is standard, a gate that can swing both in and out offers the most flexibility if your setup allows for it.

Many contractors offer warranties for materials and labor. Confirm terms before hiring.

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.

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.

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