About Us

Leading Edge Fence & Gates

Leading Edge Fence & Gates was founded in 1993 by Rick and Lisa Burns as a way to provide a service to a select market by providing installation and service of automated gate systems. The typical company to offer this is usually found in a fence installation company, which is where Rick started out and learned the gate installation business. After several years in the industry he felt he had more to offer customers by focusing solely on the automated gate industry. So the business was created with specializing in automated access control systems and providing only top-of-the-line products that will give our customers years and years of dependability and that offer generous manufacturers warranties. We have built the business on strong family values, we treat each and every one of our customers like we treat our own family.

Since this is a family-owned and -operated business, this is very easy for us, WE LOVE OUR CUSTOMERS! We warranty our sliding gates and other products for one full year and provide preventative maintenance agreements to keep all of the hydraulic and mechanically driven operators working properly.

We service private residences, such as the Vice President of the United States home, military bases – Dover Air Force Base – Air National Guard – Army National Guard, as well as many state and county facilities along with manufacturing facilities. We even service many beach communities in the Lewes, Dewey, Bethany Beach, and Fenwick Island areas.

Great experience installing a wood split rail fence around a portion of my new property for a dog run. Wes helped us decide where to install the fence on the property, workable size, and answered all questions. He was even able to accommodate us moving up the proposed date to work better in line with our sooner then expected settlement date. His guys completed the fence in a matter of hours and ensured everything was completed as expected. We will use them in the future for our fencing needs.

We had 4 post and rail fence gates replaced. Along with a few other posts and rails. They did a excellent job, at what we considered to be a reasonable price. We would deft recommend them to our friends and neighbors!!

Wes and his team were a dream to work with. They were responsive and polite from start to finish. We had a bit of a hiccup with the town and an unresolved fencing permit - but Wes took care of it for us and we did not have to pay the fine! We really appreciate the exceptional customer service, which is hard to find lately. We are just in love with our fence - and so are our dogs!

My grandparents live in the Delaware area and needed to get a fence & gate installed for more privacy. They're not great with technology so they asked me to help find someone to come out. After a lengthy search, I came across Leading Edge. They had the best reviews I could find. Wesley and his team were awesome. They put together a very fair quote and were incredibly responsive to my grandparents. I'd absolutely send anyone their way that asked me for a recommendation!
