"I used this company for a couple of months. The owner was extremely professional, however, his work staff wasn't as attentive to details as needed. Missed spots, inconsistent weed eating areas, grass not cleared from driveway and/or street, etc. I spoke with Mr. Balderas numerous times, it just didn't improve (I honestly feel he tried his best, he even adjusted his work crew membes). I had to move on to another service."

"Valdez landscape and fence did an absolutely awesome job!! Enrique and his crew were very professional, efficient, good communicators, and even were able to accommodate my wife and I on some particular custom requests we had for our fence. Everything turned out better than I could’ve envisioned. Truly a great company! Hire with confidence!"

"David and his crew performed the installation of a driveway gate for us. I procured the gate, posts, automatic openers, accessory systems, wiring, etc. ahead of the installation. It took us a while to find a quality contractor that was willing to perform the “labor only” and didn’t force us to purchase the gate materials as part of a package. We appreciated David’s willingness to take on this type of working arrangement. We consulted with David along the way right up to the installation date. He was courteous responsive with his guidance. Overall, we found the timeliness of work and pricing to be very reasonable. We had a some subtle changes to the work scope along the way; however, David was able to maintain his original estimate. We needed to trench about 300’ of wire from the house to the road. David and his crew were willing to pick-up, use, and return our rental equipment for us – we appreciated this. In the spirit of full disclosure, here are the reasons I’m unable to give an “A” rating. (1) The cut in the driveway is not parallel to the gate … so it’s a slightly diagonal cut. Recommend snapping a chalk line, etc. Measure 2x, cut 1x. (2) Burial of the 300’ of wire was done somewhat quickly and the wire was a little taught … I’ve had to take time to re-bury several sections, (3) Misalignment of holes drilled into the gate posts (off by 3” … this is a lot) … this was done in haste by a crew member, not David. I did have to plug/paint the area for aesthetics and rust avoidance. The posts are 100 pound, 4”x4” steel which I had procured separately … more care needs to be taken with the accuracy of measurements."

Driveway Gates questions, answered by experts

When choosing a driveway gate, consider the fence material, whether you want an automatic gate or a manual one, and property limitations like the slope of your driveway. We recommend speaking with a professional driveway gate installer to see what types of gates will work on your property based on your fencing or home’s exterior. Keep in mind that driveway gates should range between 10 to 12 feet wide to ensure cars can easily maneuver through the gateway.

Other mechanisms can help you keep your gate securely shut. Secure gate latch types will do the job, such as magnetic or spring-loading, self-closing lever varieties, or automatic gate openers. However, they won’t control the speed at which the gate closes. You can purchase slam plates that use rubber buffers to reduce noise and the potential damage-inducing impact of a fast-closing, heavy gate.

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.

Installation typically takes 1-3 days, depending on the gate type and site conditions.

In addition to a doorbell camera, you can upgrade your home’s security with several different features. Backyard security, for instance, may include a mix of security cameras, lighting, and fencing. Additional security cameras around your property, as well as a total smart security system with an alarm connected to your smartphone, are also advisable. This could well be worth the cost for the peace of mind alone, but home security systems also lower home insurance costs.
