Gate Installation in Four Square Mile comes down to one thing most contractors miss: the ground under the gate. This unincorporated pocket of Arapahoe County, ZIP 80231, is packed with late-1950s to 1970s ranch homes on tight lots, and their original wood and wrought-iron gates hang on posts set decades ago in bentonite clay that never stops moving. We’re gate-only specialists. We don’t sell fences or fix garage doors. Whether you need a new driveway gate hung on properly footed posts or a 1970s privacy gate that drags every January repaired, call (855) 677-8291. We answer 24/7. Fast dispatch from 7am to 7pm.
Why Four Square Mile Homes Are Different
Four Square Mile sits inside the Front Range freeze-thaw cycle, which brings roughly 150 days a year with a freeze. Each one lifts and drops the soil, and that alone would be enough to shift a gate post. What makes it worse here is the expansive bentonite clay. It swells when it’s wet and shrinks when it’s dry, so a gate that closes perfectly in June will drag on the concrete apron in January. Posts were never set deep enough for that movement in the first place.
Add the housing stock and the picture gets clearer. These are compact, mid-century lots with shared fence lines, so one heaved post throws off two neighbors’ gates at once. Driveway gates here are often heavy wrought iron with hinges rusting at the weld, or original cedar privacy gates that have been re-screwed a dozen times. The fix is rarely the hinge. It’s the post, and it’s the footing under it. Because Four Square Mile is unincorporated Arapahoe County, we always tell owners to call the county about permits before a new gate goes in, especially where a shared line or an easement is involved.

Our Main Four Square Mile Services
Nearly every call we take in Four Square Mile falls into one of two buckets: a gate that’s failing and needs repair, or a new gate that needs installing from scratch.
Gate Repair in Four Square Mile
Most repair calls here start with a post, not a hinge. We pull the gate, dig out the old concrete, and re-set the post in a deeper collar that reaches below the active clay layer, then re-plumb the leaf, hinges, and latch. Heavy wrought-iron driveway gates with rusted hinge welds are the other common job. The usual trigger is a gate that drags on the apron or won’t latch without a lift.

Electric Gate Repair in Four Square Mile
Automated gates in Four Square Mile fail for two reasons: the operator, or the post under it. When a post heaves, the gate leaf binds, the opener strains, and eventually a control board or gear fails. We test the operator first, then check the mechanics, so we’re not replacing a motor that was fine. Systems we work on include LiftMaster and Linear operators. See our page on Electric Gate Repair in Four Square Mile for the failure signs we see most.
Gate Installation in Four Square Mile
New gates in Four Square Mile are planned around the soil, not just the driveway. On these compact mid-century lots, a gate post set the way it was in 1968 will heave again within a few seasons, so every install starts with a footing dug past the active clay layer and poured to hold. We measure the opening, pick the swing or slide direction around the existing apron and fence line, and set the posts before a single leaf goes up. From manual swing gates to fully automated electric systems, Gate Installation is a measured, ordered job, and we quote it in writing before any work starts.
Driveway Gate Installation
Signs you need it
You need a driveway gate install when the old gate leaf is sagging beyond hinge adjustment, the posts are visibly tilted, or you’ve never had a gate and want to close off the drive.
What it costs in Four Square Mile
A driveway gate installation typically runs in the range shown for gate installation on this page, and the written estimate sets the final price once we’ve measured the opening and checked the soil.
How we do it
We measure the opening, dig footings below the active clay, set and plumb the posts in concrete, hang the leaf, and adjust hinges, latch, and clearance to the apron.
Electric Gate Installation
Signs you need it
You’re ready for an electric gate when you’re tired of getting out of the car in the cold, when a manual gate is too heavy for daily use, or when you want access control on the drive.
What it costs in Four Square Mile
Electric gate installation prices depend on the operator and whether power has to be run to the post; the typical range on this page covers the work, and the written estimate fixes the price before we order anything.
How we do it
We set the posts and gate first, then mount the operator, wire the power and safety edges, program the remotes and keypad, and test the reversal and limits before we hand it over.
What Gate Installation Costs in Four Square Mile
| Item | Typical range in Four Square Mile |
|---|---|
| Manual swing gate installation (measured on site) | Quoted per job by written estimate |
| Driveway gate installation with new footings | Quoted per job by written estimate |
| Electric gate installation with operator and safety edges | Quoted per job by written estimate |
Can you install an electric gate in Four Square Mile if the post keeps heaving?
Yes, and that’s the right order to do it. We set the post in a deeper footing that reaches below the active clay layer before mounting the operator, so the gate leaf stays true and the motor isn’t fighting a moving hinge.
Do you handle the power run and the safety edges on a new gate?
We do. A gate install includes mounting the operator, running power to the post, and fitting safety edges and reversal testing. That’s why it’s scheduled rather than same-day, and why the free measure comes first.
Brands We Service in Four Square Mile
We work on the brand you already own. That includes LiftMaster, FAAC, BFT, and Linear operators, plus the rest of the major systems on our brands page. Because we do nothing but gates, we carry the common boards, arms, and remotes and can usually tell you the turnaround on the first call. We’re independent, not tied to one manufacturer.

What Four Square Mile Customers Say
"Repair is holding. He was quite a bit later than the window I was given, and the office didn't call me about it, I had to call them. The work itself was done well once he got here."
- Tara Padgett"Fixed the immediate problem. He was honest that the operator is near end of life and I should budget for a replacement, which I appreciate even if it wasn't what I wanted to hear."
- Daniel Gallagher"Gate stopped halfway and sat there for two days blocking the driveway. He found a dead capacitor in the operator, had one with him, and we were moving cars again in under an hour."
