"We hired Jason to do a big job made necessary by flooding in our crawlspace. We needed grading done and drains installed to get water away from the house.
Things started out really well, and Jason seemed to really know what he was doing. I love his knowledge of native plants (though I was promised a list of what he put in and where, and have still not received this). For the most part he did a wonderful job transforming our yard into a more functional and beautiful space, though we had struggles with a paver patio, which to his credit, he did rebuild, albeit incorrectly/incompletely. 
The real problems were in the follow through. Jason became more and more difficult to get a hold of as problems arose towards the end of the installation. At one point, the email I had been using to correspond with him for months suddenly and unexpectedly started to deposit messages in his junk folder, and it was only after a pushy letter from my wife that he finally popped a reply. He made a point during the contracting phase to say that he will always stand behind his work even though it is only technically guaranteed for 1 year. This may be true, if you can get a hold of him after he has decided that he is done with his work. He did come back to rebuild our paver patio as mentioned above (due to mistakes on his part), and each time the rebuild was sloppier and sloppier. I stopped asking him back for this, afraid of what the next evolution may look like. 
On a separate but related note, We also generated referrals for him with our neighbors, who ended up hiring him to do a large job in their back yard.  They reported some of the same problems with communication and follow through, and that job was ultimately not completed. They were smarter than I was and did not pay him until the job was done. Very upsetting as this made me look bad since it was my recommendation that lead them to hire Jason.
Id say that he made it about 70-75% of the way to "complete." Unfortunately, I payed him 100%. I will be rebuilding our paver patio next summer, or paying someone else as the grade is still wrong and water ends up pooling by the house (which is the entire reason we hired him in the first place).
Im really disappointed with how things turned out mostly because I really wanted to like Jason, but Im not sure I could trust him to hire him again. This is especially true for hardscaping."

"The crew that did the paving work were excellent.  The job required some tricking draining installation as the back yard slopes towards the house.  Work was performed when promised and only took 5 days to remove existing deck and replace with pavers including the wall, bench, and fire pit, and 35 foot path to the stairs leading to the upper deck.  The upper deck work was then performed and its quality exceeded my expectations.  It is probably sturdy enough to park a car on top - before I considered it too dangerous for the grand kids to use.    The work was done when the ground was still wet so they had to bring in some topsoil to repair the yard damage.  They also repaired all of the sprinklers they damaged during construction.  The deck drains just fine and all of the sprinklers work.
While the main work was completed in the estimated 3 weeks time, the electrical installation was delayed due to their electrician moving on.  So final payment was made with some with held to cover that cost.  The electrical work was performed while we were out of town and they did not hook up the low voltage system and one of the low voltage lights was not coming on.  The job supervisor also moved on so after several calls I simply completed this part of the job myself.  The company never asked for full payment and were very compassionate when my mother passed away - sending a nice flower arrangement.  The company is local and uses locally produced pavers of high quality.    While there were some minor completion issues, I would recommend the company without hesitation based on the quality work they performed.  We did not get other bids so I am not able to comment on their pricing, but I could not be more pleased with the work performed.

"I highly recommend John. He is a true craftsman. We had him rebuild our 12 year old rotted fence and he built an excellent quality fence exactly as requested. We also had build a deck and his work is truly remarkable and outstanding. He is also a very nice person!! I expect that I won’t be dealing with replacing either the fence or deck again in my lifetime. If you need an honest straightforward and hard working guy, John is definitely the person you’re looking for. Cannot say enough about his quality an highly highly recommend him for your next deck of fence projects. Thanks again John!"

Gate Repair questions, answered by experts

Yes, you can convert manual gates to electric operation. Installing a motor and an opening device from a kit allows you to convert any gate so it can open and close automatically. Be sure to buy the correct type of opener for your gate style. For example, some openers are specific to swinging gates, while others are for sliding gates. Get familiar with your swinging or sliding gate parts before you go shopping to avoid having to return to the store for the correct opener.

To make your gate safe, purchase a gate made from strong material such as wrought iron, stainless steel, or other metals. Ensure that the gate has strong joints and bars that are welded on rather than inserted loosely. If you’re concerned about people climbing over your gate, you can deter them by installing fence spikes along the top as an extra precaution.

Yes, professionals can install gates with locking mechanisms and access control systems for added security.

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 security gates 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.

The most common cause of gate sensors not working is damaged wiring. Only a professional should diagnose this because it requires working with the system's electronics. There are safety concerns, but more than that, you don't want to accidentally short out your system or cause any electrical damage. Insects, rodents, and fallen branches are common reasons your wiring could become damaged.
