What swing gate installation includes
The pro measures the driveway, checks grade and swing clearance, and sets robust posts with proper footings. The gate frame is fabricated or fitted, hung on heavy hinges, and equipped with an operator sized for its weight and length.
Safety devices, access controls, and a manual release complete the system, all tested before handover.

Swing vs slide: which is right
Swing gates need clear arcs free of slope rise; uphill driveways can block them. They are simpler, often cheaper, and look traditional. Slide gates need side space but handle slopes and tight entries better.
Your pro's site survey settles the question definitively for your specific driveway.
Drainage around the posts deserves attention during installation. Water pooling at post bases rots wood posts and undermines concrete footings over time. A pro who grades soil away from the posts and uses proper drainage gives your gate years of extra life.
What happens when you call
Describe your driveway and we will match you with an independent local professional. A free site assessment covers measurements and options.
You approve a detailed estimate before any fabrication or installation begins.
Consider how leaves and debris affect the swing path seasonally. A gate that clears fine in summer can drag in autumn leaf buildup, so plan the bottom clearance with the worst season in mind.
