LOUISVILLE KY

Artisan Wood Gate Builder

The crafting of garden gates starts with the belief that a gate can be more than just a means of entry and egress. A garden gate whispers a hint of the intimate space that lies behind it. I think of a gate as being a symbol of the mental and emotional shift that occurs when we cross the threshold between a public space and a more private one. Where we find respite from a busy world and recall the familiar embrace of the natural world. 

Here you will find different designs that reflect the unique spaces and individuals they were made for. Have a garden gate idea for your special place? Let's chat.

  • "I used Mike years ago and loved his quality of work and work ethic. So, when it was time to upgrade, couldn't go with anyone else. The pride in his work is exemplified through the workmanship of his final product. He's like 'the' elite artist of fencing in Louisville. He's very professional, thought provoking, and truly a stand up guy...a man of good character. Would recommend him a thousand times over!"

Michael was also a real pleasure to work with, a true gentleman who shows nothing but respect to his client. I will recommend 'The Fence Guy' to anyone looking to build a fence."

  • "Working with Michael was fantastic. He responded very quickly to my quote requests and treated us like we were important even though our job was "small". Excellent craftsmanship on the fence. Was very meticulous in his work and selective of the materials that went into the job. Great turnaround time, great work, great fence and gate. Use this guy!!"

  • "We worked with Michael on our new fence (Fall of 2019), and we are absolutely elated with the finish product. The communication was extremely timely from the time we requested the quote all the way through the finished product. I know we exchanged 40 emails through the process, met to confirm the request and get the quote (which was a totally transparent and easy to understand process), met throughout the construction, and at the end of the project to confirm we were totally satisfied. The particular finishing we requested at the top of the fence was put in extremely well, and we have a very high-quality fence now. Put simply, we are extremely happy & satisfied with the work Michael did. If I could change one thing, it would only be for this company to offer more products since I know I can rely on them 100%. Thank you!"

Reasonable price, individualized service according to what we wanted done, friendly guy, professional & high-quality job in all aspects.

Would certainly recommend him to anyone who needs a great-looking wood fence."
