"Davey was a pleasure to work with. He returned all communication (email and phone calls) in a very timely manner. He also arrived at my home on time each time we had scheduled a meeting. At our initial meeting I discussed with him what I would like done to the front bed. It was seriously overgrown and needed a lot of work including tearing out some very large shrubbery that had over the years intwined itself in my front porch railing. He agreed to take the job and very quickly sent me a digital design that would work for the bed. I thought the original design, while lovely, didn't really suit my personality. He was happy to redesign it & promptly sent over another design. I liked this one much better and he provided a quote. This was not an inexpensive endeavor, but they had quite a lot of work ahead of them & I am a firm believer in the idea that you 'get what you pay for.' I approved the estimate and he set up a time for his employees to come over and do the work. They arrived on time that day and got straight to work. About half way through the process, I had to leave the site for a few hours and saw that they had utilized my driveway for some yard waste they had pulled out already. I asked if they could let me out of the driveway and they were very happy to move the brush out of the way so I could leave. They were both very professional & considerate & I felt comfortable leaving my home with them there. After I left the site, I got a call from Davey letting me know that I had forgotten to turn the water on for the power washing to take place. We decided to finish the flower bed and we would address the power washing at a later time. When I arrived home after the bed work was complete, I saw not only a beautiful bed, but that all of the yard debris had been cleared away and my yard looked pristine. We had some scheduling issues (mostly due to my work schedule and the weather) getting someone to come back to do the power washing, but Davey was always available by phone or email and continued to be very communicative about when he would be able to send someone by to finish the job. Once the power washing was finished, Davey came back to my home and walked through the garden with me to ensure I was happy with how it looked and to answer any questions I had. He invited me to call or email with any questions I had in the future. I am very happy with how the work turned out & would hire again."

Driveway Gates questions, answered by experts

Instead of a security door, you might opt for a heavy-duty screen door made from durable mesh, which allows better sunlight and airflow. Additionally, you could enhance security by installing strong locks on your existing door. A double-cylinder deadbolt provides robust security; however, be aware that some local laws prohibit them due to safety concerns during emergencies.

It does matter which way a hinge is installed because it’s possible to install a hinge backward. The hinge pin should face the direction in which the door will swing, making the pin visible. Exterior doors that swing outward need a security hinge with an Allen set screw in the center to prevent someone from removing the hinge from the outside and accessing the home or business.

Many security doors come with clear and easy-to-follow installation instructions. Some even include predrilled holes and mounting hardware, making the process smoother. If you're a handy DIY enthusiast, you might find it enjoyable to take on installing a security door.

However, if you're uncomfortable with DIY tasks or want to ensure a flawless installation, you can always seek the help of a local door installer. They have the expertise and experience to get the job done efficiently and correctly.

While it is possible to install a manual gate yourself, it is generally not recommended. Professional installation is strongly advised, especially for automated or large driveway gates. Gates can be extremely heavy, sometimes weighing hundreds of pounds, which makes them bulky and dangerous to maneuver into place. Proper installation requires perfect positioning and balancing to ensure the gate swings smoothly and functions as intended. For automated gates, the wiring is also hazardous and typically requires a licensed electrician. Mistakes during a DIY installation can be costly, as materials alone can average around $1,000. Given the safety risks and the difficulty of achieving a proper setup, it is best to hire a professional gate installer.

This largely depends on the layout of your property and your preferred walking route to various entryways. Take your time figuring out the perfect spot for the gate to avoid difficulties later on. With all this said, the best place to put a gate is an area free from obstructions that offer the shortest route to your house.
