What size gate spring should I use?

• <div><p>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.</p></div>

Q: Do I need a permit to install a gate?

• <div><p>In most cases, you will need a permit to install a gate or fence on your property. Before your local municipality can issue a <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/do-i-really-need-building-permit.htm">building permit</a>, you might also need a site plan or survey to identify property lines. Otherwise, you could infringe on your neighbor&rsquo;s property, leading to having to pay to take down and re-erect the fence. Permits for a gate and fence usually cost under <b>$100</b>. Luckily, your gate installation company will usually pull the permits for you and handle all of the red tape.</p></div>

Q: Should a gate be higher than the fence?

• <div><p>A gate shouldn&rsquo;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.</p></div>

Q: Does it matter which way a hinge is installed?

• <div><p>It does matter which way a hinge is installed because it&rsquo;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.</p></div>

Q: What is the best place to put a gate?

• <div><p>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.</p></div>

They redone our gravel driveway, cut down a hill in front of our house to stop the water, diverted all water around the sides of our house, put in several areas of rip rap rock.

Alberto, the owner, was very precise about pricing and timeline for the demo & replacement of a very long driveway. I also asked him what other services he offered. I ended up having new gutters installed as well as a re-do the overgrown flowerbeds. I highly recommend calling Alberto for any...

Took them almost a full year from when I placed the deposit to actual completion of the project. It was 5 months before they started installation. They dug one of the posts through my sewer line and wouldn’t cover the plumber fee (to discover the blockage), but they did relocate that post and...

They paved a new section of my driveway and sealed cracks in my existing driveway. Good guys to work with. They fit me into their schedule immediately and came when scheduled. I hope to use them again in the future to expand my driveway further, but have to wait to accumulate the funds.
