Our Gate Installation Process
We begin by assessing the gate location, measuring the opening, and discussing your requirements for size, material, security, and access. Gates can range from small garden gates through to large timber driveway gates, with materials selected to suit usage and appearance. Posts are either installed new or reinforced if existing posts are suitable, ensuring they can support the gate’s weight and usage.
Hinges are fitted at correct heights and angles, accounting for gate sag over time and any ground slope. Swing clearance is checked to ensure the gate opens fully without catching on surfaces or adjacent structures. Latches and locks are installed for secure, smooth operation, and all hardware is tested before we complete the work. The finished gate is adjusted for precise alignment, and we provide guidance on basic maintenance to keep it working well.
Gate Installation FAQs
How do you prevent gates from sagging over time?
We use reinforced posts, heavy-duty hinges, and appropriate bracing to distribute weight evenly. Hinge placement is carefully set to minimise stress points, and posts are installed with solid concrete foundations. This method ensures timber and metal gates remain level and operational with regular use.
Can you fit gates to existing fence posts?
If existing posts are structurally sound, correctly positioned, and strong enough to support the gate’s weight, we can use them. We assess condition and reinforce where required. If posts are unsuitable, we recommend replacements to ensure long-term reliability.
What gate materials do you install?
We install timber gates using closeboard or loglap panels for garden and driveway applications. For higher security requirements, we also fit metal driveway gates manufactured from galvanised or powder-coated steel.
How much clearance does a gate need to swing properly?
Typically, 10mm to 20mm clearance is required beneath the gate to prevent dragging on uneven ground or paving.We also check for obstructions within the swing arc and allow for minor ground movement over time.
Can you install gates on sloped or uneven terrain?
Yes. We adjust hinge positions and gate angles to suit slopes, ensuring smooth operation without compromising security or appearance. Posts are installed plumb to maintain correct alignment.
What lock options are available for secure gate access?
We offer a range of latch and lock options including padlock-compatible fittings, keyed locks, and secure closing mechanisms. All hardware is selected for outdoor durability and reliable day-to-day use.

Client Advice
Check recent and relevant feedback
Check the expected installation timescale
Ask when the company expects to carry out the garden gate installation and how long the work is likely to take. Custom-made gates, material availability, ground conditions and weather can sometimes influence the schedule.
If timing is important, ask how delays or changes to the expected installation date will be communicated.
Understand the payment terms
Confirm how and when the landscape gardening company expects payment for the garden gate installation. If a deposit is requested for materials or a made-to-order gate, ask when the remaining balance becomes due and whether there are staged payments.
Having the agreed payment arrangements recorded in writing gives both parties a clear reference.
Confirm the finished installation with the provider
Once the gate is installed, take time to check its operation with the provider before the project is considered complete. Make sure you understand how the latch or lock operates and ask about any relevant adjustment or maintenance guidance.
This is also an appropriate time to collect invoices, warranty information and other documents relating to the installation.
Check relevant gate installation experience
Ask whether the landscape gardening company has recent experience installing the type of garden gate you are considering. Timber, metal and composite gates can have different fitting requirements, while the size and weight of a gate can influence the choice of posts, hinges and fixings.
Where available, ask to see examples of comparable installations.
Ask about timber treatment and maintenance
If you are choosing a timber garden gate, ask whether the timber is supplied treated, painted or otherwise finished and what future maintenance may be recommended. Products can have different care requirements, so request guidance appropriate to the actual gate being installed.
Keeping any manufacturer's or installer's maintenance information can also be useful for future reference.

The gate closes neatly and doesn’t drag. It’s been easy to use from day one.

We’d put up with a dodgy gate for ages and I wish we’d sorted it sooner. The new one fits properly and the hinges feel strong.
It opens fully without catching on the wall and the latch works first time. It’s also made the entrance look nicer without being flashy. Simple, practical and well fitted.

Our old gate had dropped so much we were lifting it to close it. The replacement has made a huge difference.
It opens easily, sits straight and doesn’t clatter about. The latch is positioned well and it feels safer for the kids coming in and out. The fitting looked careful and the area was left clean afterwards.

We had a new gate installed after our old one had started sagging badly. Andy and team sorted it properly, including reinforcing the posts so it feels really secure.
The gate opens smoothly and closes with a clean latch without having to lift or shove it. It’s made day to day access so much nicer and the entrance looks far more finished. Everything was explained clearly and the job was handled without any hassle.

Andy installed a gate on our side passage where the ground slopes slightly. I assumed it would always scrape somewhere but it doesn’t.
The clearance is right, the gate sits straight and the latch catches neatly. The fixings look tidy and the post feels secure. We’ve had plenty of wet weather since and it’s still opening and closing nicely. It’s made that entrance feel much more reliable.

Andy and team replaced our old gate and corrected the post that had started leaning over time. They checked everything before fixing the new gate in place which gave confidence it wasn’t being rushed.
The gate doesn’t scrape, it doesn’t wobble and it closes neatly every time. The hinge movement feels controlled and quiet and it doesn’t rattle about in the wind. It’s made the side access feel secure again and it looks smart too.

Andy and team fitted a gate along a slightly uneven section and still managed to get it sitting level. The clearance underneath is just right and it hasn’t caught once.
It’s made the side access feel far more dependable.

Andy and team were easy to deal with and didn’t overcomplicate anything. They measured up, checked the opening and then fitted the gate so it sat right from the start.
The movement feels smooth and controlled and it closes with a clean catch. The gate looks good with the boundary and doesn’t feel flimsy. It’s been a solid improvement and it’s already made day to day access simpler without us thinking about it.

Andrew and team installed a driveway gate for us and handled the alignment really well. The swing feels balanced and it doesn’t catch on the ground.
The latch and fittings feel robust and the entrance looks much more finished now. Communication was clear throughout and the job ran smoothly.

We had a new garden gate fitted earlier this year and it’s been a noticeable improvement. The old one never quite sat right and always felt awkward to use.
This one opens easily, sits straight and closes properly every time. The latch is in a sensible position and the whole thing feels secure without being heavy. It’s made day to day access much more pleasant and the entrance looks more finished now. It’s one of those changes you appreciate without really thinking about it once it’s done.
