"Double Tree is Awesome. Eddy  is amazing in the
tree. He took down a very large pine tree that was breaking my driveway
and ground the stump. His crew cleaned my entire front yard of sticks,
leaves and pine needles. They even cleaned the driveway, walkway and
front porch. My yard looks beautiful now. They are friendly, knowledgable, professional
 and caring as if the trees were their own.I recommend them to everyone,
my family, friends, neighbors and co-workers. Very professional. I will
hire them again for future trees.

"Very well. Malik and his team were efficient and competent. Above all, he was communicative and responsive throughout the process. He planned the world closely with me and made sure that I was aware of all plans and updates. My only concern was that he didn't take credit cards, which made tha arrangement awkward and costly for payment."

"Keith had all the qualities I value in a contractor - he was on time, he communicated well and the work was very professional. My patio pavers had all loosened up. Keith not only re-laid them and put a border on them, he suggested a polymer coat to prevent them from become loose again. I would most definitely recommend him

"Mike was incredibly responsive and helpful when we asked him for a quote on our garage reno/conversion project. He was able to field all of our questions, meet us on site, and text us with examples when discussing appliances that would be included in the project. He is extremely professional and transparent, and we would highly recommend him to others, especially first-timers!"

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.

Features include automation, intercoms, keypads, and decorative elements. Custom options enhance security and style.

Your wooden gate post hole should be a third to a half of the height of the post. Also, note that the diameter of the post hole should be three times the diameter of the post. You should set the post in concrete to ensure a long-lasting and durable post that will withstand the test of time.

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.

Wood, wrought iron, aluminum, and steel are common materials. Choose based on durability, aesthetics, and maintenance needs.
