CATTLE GUARDS · WAXAHACHIE
Cattle Guards in Waxahachie, TX
Steel cattle guards set at the entrance on a proper base, with wings to the fence — so you can drive in without opening a gate and the stock stays put. We work across Waxahachie — North Grove, Saddlebrook Estates, Sunrise at Garden Valley and the surrounding area.
SCOPE
What this service covers.
Only the work we actually do — no padded list. If you are not sure whether your job fits, send a photo and we will tell you straight.
Steel cattle guards
Pipe or flat-top guards sized to the width of the drive.
Bases that do not settle
Concrete or steel bases set level so the guard does not sink or rock in wet clay.
Wings to the fence
Welded wings on each side so stock cannot step around the ends.
Paired with a gate
A walk-through or bypass gate beside the guard for moving stock or wide equipment.

Why people call about this.
You open the gate a dozen times a day
A guard means every trip in and out is a straight drive.
Somebody keeps leaving it open
A guard cannot be left open.
The old guard has sunk
A guard sitting low in mud stops working. It usually needs a new base, not a new guard.
WAXAHACHIE, TX
Cattle Guards in Waxahachie: what’s different here.
Waxahachie is the Ellis County seat and one of the fastest-growing towns on the south edge of the Dallas–Fort Worth area, up from about 41,000 people at the 2020 census to an estimated 50,000 in 2025. It is known for its blocks of Victorian and gingerbread-style houses around the Ellis County Courthouse, with master-planned subdivisions filling in around the older town and acreage beyond them. The City of Waxahachie requires a fence permit (it publishes a Fence Permit Submittal Guide and takes applications through its online portal), most new subdivisions add HOA approval on top, and many households commute north on I-35E, which shapes when crews can get into a yard.
Gates & Operators in Waxahachie
Subdivision gate work in Waxahachie is mostly a side-yard drive gate wide enough to back a trailer or boat through, while acreage off US-287 and US-77 calls for a full entrance with a solar operator out at the road and remotes for households that leave early on I-35E.
The ground
Waxahachie is on Blackland Prairie clay that swells when wet and shrinks and cracks in summer, which is why builder fences set on shallow posts start leaning within a few seasons.
Homes and lots
Historic Victorian and Queen Anne homes in the West End and around the courthouse square, newer HOA communities such as North Grove, Saddlebrook Estates and Sunrise at Garden Valley, and few-acre properties off US-287, US-77 and the county roads.
