Yes. EFC will need to dig holes for your gate posts, pour concrete pads for your gate operator, control box and certain other accessories. We will also need to trench for conduit from power source to operator and certain accessories.

If your application requires cutting into your asphalt or concrete driveway to run conduit from one side to the other, EFC will patch the driveway affected but not guarantee it to match the existing driveway in color or overall appearance. If you have a specialty driveway material i.e. stamp concrete, pavers, etc. EFC will add the cost to bore a hole under your driveway to run our conduit from one side to the other.

EFC will work to minimize landscape disturbance. We will patch the driveway with either asphalt cold patch or concrete depending on type of driveway being cut. We will fill the conduit trench with the dirt that was displaced (homeowner will need to replace sod, grass seed or any other beautification to these areas at their own expense).
