Espinoza's Family Landscaping is a small family owned business. We work hard to provide you with beautiful landscaping work at reasonable and affordable prices! Our business works year-round so we are available for any season, event, or job needed. Our business also does cleaning services, where we remove any unwanted furniture from homes or garages. Perfect for the Spring cleaning time! Checks are most preferred.

"I would never use this company (Espinoza’s Family Landscaping) again. I initially laid out a detailed statement of work including types of trees & bushes. Original estimate was $700 but the day of work it became $1,500. Majority of work was done by one laborer because the owner was continually getting materials. Business owner changed tree selection because he had no knowledge what was available even though he initially said he could give me everything I requested. Didn’t supply the right stone or add the weed deterrent cloth. Requested cash each initially and during work and after work done. Items supplied were of lesser quality because they were all bought from Home Depot (tags attached). All trees & bushes allegedly had a one-year guarantee. I paid the final bill with his promise that he’d return and correct or add what he forgot. Never came back after numerous emails & phone messages. He also was informed much of what he planted (trees – bushes) had died but he also ignored replacement notifications."

Driveway Gates questions, answered by experts

Double gates come with the same gaps as single gates, with hinges taking up a quarter of an inch of space. The difference is that double fence gates also have a center gap, which needs a little more clearance. Space the center gap at half an inch instead of the usual three-eighths of an inch for a single gate. 

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

It might be possible to install your own manual driveway gate rather than an automatic one, but we don’t recommend it. Driveway gates are large, heavy, and bulky, and getting them to your house and maneuvering them for installation can be dangerous. It’s also challenging to install the gate and balance it perfectly so that it functions as expected, and wiring any automation mechanisms for your gate is also dangerous and requires help from an electrician. We recommend leaving the work to a professional driveway gate installer.

The obvious disadvantage of an automatic gate is that it runs on electricity. If the power goes out, it won’t open or close unless there’s a manual override. Many homeowners will need a backup generator so they don’t get stuck on either side of the gate, particularly when looking to park a vehicle. Automatic gates are also much more complicated than manual gates, with tech-heavy components that make them more expensive to repair.

Redwood and cedar work well for gates because they resist decay and severe weather conditions. Redwood is considered more elegant, though cedar is more affordable. Other options include oak and treated pine. Avoid softwoods like pine and spruce for outdoor projects, as they are susceptible to water, rot, and sun damage.
