Q: What is the most secure type of driveway gate?

• <div><p>If increased security is your bag, you may want to steer away from a simple wood gate. After all, it&rsquo;s pretty easy to cut through wood. Instead, go for a metal gate with an advanced locking system. Even better? Install a high-tech automated barrier system similar to those found at commercial facilities. However, you&rsquo;ll pay handsomely for the privilege.</p></div>

Q: Why does my gate keep sagging?

• <div><p>There are a few possible issues that are causing your gate to sage. The hinges may be bent, or the screws holding the hinges to the post could fail&mdash;causing the gate to sag from one side to the other. The gate itself may also have come out of square due to failing supports, causing it to sag. On the other hand, it&rsquo;s possible the gate isn&rsquo;t the issue at all. The post holding the gate aloft may lean inward, causing the gate to sag.</p></div>

Q: Can electric gates be opened manually?

• <div><p>Electric gates have a manual override switch that detaches the motor from the opening mechanism. For most gates, this requires a key as a deterrent to thieves or trespassers forcing open your gate. Be aware that many automatic or electric gates are very heavy, so it may be difficult to close the gate if you are fine with manually opening it. </p></div>

Q: Can thieves open electric gates?

• <div><p>Thieves can open almost anything with enough time and the right tools, but they also prefer easy targets that are unlikely to get them caught. Forcing open gates is loud and difficult, and to be able to open one electronically requires extensive knowledge of the system, which most thieves don't have. Electric and other <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/types-of-security-gates.htm">security gates</a> are great deterrents because the thief will move to an easier target. If the thief is determined to enter your property, they will most likely find a different entrance point.</p></div>

Ernie was hired to install a fence around our property as part of a larger landscaping project. It was installed in October 2024, but was missing two of the gates we had requested. He assured us it would only take a couple of weeks to get in. Fast forward to April 2025 where, after months of...

I was approached by owner Patrick. He was very kind and professional. Patrick power-washed my exterior sidewalks and driveway. He did an amazing job and I would recommend him to any person looking to cleanup their house/business.

After the driveway sat for a few days waves or ripples appeared in the driveway. There is also a low spot. I had excess gravel in my driveway that had to be removed. My guess is these guys were in a hurry because they could have used my own gravel to fill in the low spot, but that would have...

I have a relatively flat driveway but there is a low spot in the middle. The company came and grated my gravel driveway, removing the excess, compacted what was left and paved it. I noticed the next day, after a hard rain, there was a low spot where water accumulates. I wish this had been...

It went well. Tom came in with his skid loader and graded the driveway of so that it will drain instead of puddle. He spread #3A limestone and then tracked it in with his machine. Instead of a wet, sloppy driveway, I've got a solid dry driveway.
