"The quality of the work performed was excellent. We had our existing porch screened in with additional lighting added, added an extension our patio to include a fire pit, and had 2 new lighting fixtures installed in our kitchen. All the services were completed in a timely manner and correctly without rework. The project was completed within budget. Dave and his team were easy to work with and proactively suggested alternatives to our original design that showed his experience regarding successful outdoor projects. Our family highly recommend using DG Builders and will be using them for another project we had in mind."

All Justin's Lawn Care work is done by the owner. There is no dealing with multiple people for pricing, actual work, and billing. We offer free quotes. Jobs can be done on a one time basis or by yearly contract. Whatever you need, we can help.

"I reached out to Justin on Craigslist after I moved into a home that had been vacant for 10 years and needed TLC in for the yard. Justin was courteous and came out to see the backyard promptly and he and his team got to work. I was impressed by all that had been done and agreed to have him do my yard work biweekly. Things began to go downhill as I noticed that my yard work was not looking as good as before- hedges were not being trimmed, long weeds not being pulled, debris being left and not picked up. Also, my gate was constantly being left open, which resulted in my dog almost being hit by a school bus once she darted out. Justin assured me these things would be fixed. I had Justin remove trees in my backyard and my gate was damaged from one of the falling trees. I was told this would be fixed, but it was not. I was assured that all stumps would be cut down as low as ground level, but this was not done with some of the trees. I have since stopped having him come to the house."

Driveway Gates questions, answered by experts

Hiring a reliable gate company starts by finding an installer with at least five years of experience in your area. This method will ensure they understand local laws and regulations and are familiar with the permitting process. You can also ask the following questions to ensure a smooth installation:

  • Have you worked with my gate material in the past?

  • Do you have customer references I can call?

  • Are you fully insured?

  • Will you pull the necessary permits for the installation?

  • Do you provide any kind of warranty for the gate’s functionality?

Assuming the site is prepped and you have all the tools and materials ready, you should budget the better part of a day to build a driveway gate. This can depend on your DIY experience and which materials you’ve chosen, such as building from scratch or using a prefabricated option. The gate size and finishing touches, like painting or staining, can also add to the overall time budget.

While there’s no hard evidence to support this idea, driveway gates at least provide an additional obstacle that may deter crime. After all, a would-be burglar or trespasser would have to break into the gate and the property itself. The extra work could encourage them to move onto a house without a driveway gate.

Your wooden gate post hole should be a third to a half of the height of the post. Also, note that the diameter of the post hole should be three times the diameter of the post. You should set the post in concrete to ensure a long-lasting and durable post that will withstand the test of time.

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.
