Question
what type of landscaper designs gates

Answer
Hello,

Your choice of a designer for a gate would depend on how high you want the quality of the gate to be. A more sophisticated architectural gate would require more skill to design but its design would not necessarily have to be done by an architect. Your budget may preclude the more expensive design services of an architect or landscape architect. A skilled architectural designer,other type of designer,landscape designer or perhaps even a carpenter could do just as good a job as an architect.

The design of the gate should take into consideration the surrounding landscape and the architectural character of your house. Manufacturers of driveway gates have designs that may suit your needs without having to do a custom design or the design may require only modification. Some manufacturers may also offer design services for the gate at an additional cost.

When designing a driveway gate,the security level of the gate should always be taken into consideration.

The best advantage is gained by having an independent designer. Designers who work for design/builds are always under the direct authority of the owner of the business and have to follow the dictates and policies of that business even if those policies may not always be in the best interest of the client and they are often not. Good luck. Let me know if I can be of further help.
