"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

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.

When making this decision, three essential factors come into play. For budget-conscious individuals, swing gates are the more economical choice. Despite the possibility of both gate types having similar dimensions, many types of sliding gates demand a more intricate opening mechanism and additional components, requiring electrical work for motors and signaling remotes, resulting in higher installation costs.

Electric gates can be forced open if someone applies enough force to the edge furthest from the mounting bracket. You can reduce this risk by adding an electric lock to your gate opener. However, automatic gate openers generally help deter intruders, especially when paired with outdoor lighting and security cameras. Other home security tips include trimming trees surrounding the area for added visibility and installing motion sensors in your yard.

A Trex gate costs $750 plus another $200 for the hardware pack necessary for installation. By contrast, Trex fencing ranges in price from $22 to $38 per linear foot, so you may pay a lot or a little depending on just how much space you need to enclose in your yard. 

Yes, most electric and automatic gates can be opened manually. They are equipped with a manual override or release mechanism that detaches the motor from the gate, allowing it to be moved by hand. This feature is essential during power outages or other emergencies.

To activate the manual override, you will typically need a specific key or tool. In some cases, you may also need a screwdriver to remove a cover to access the release mechanism. The use of a key is a common security measure to prevent unauthorized individuals from manually opening the gate.

Because every model is different, it is highly recommended to consult your gate's user manual to familiarize yourself with the specific procedure before you need to use it. Keep any necessary keys or tools in an accessible location. Be aware that automatic gates can be very heavy, so opening and closing them manually may be difficult.

In North America, electric gates are also subject to the UL 325 Standard for Safety, which includes provisions to allow emergency responders to access the property.
