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.
Swing and slide gates
Single or double swing for most driveways, slide gates where the drive is short or the grade runs uphill.
Iron, cedar, or combination
All-steel frames, cedar infill, or the iron-and-wood look — arched or straight top.
Ranch entrances
Overhead archways with a cut-steel name or brand, set on pipe or stone columns.
Posts set right
Steel posts set in concrete to depth, because the posts are what fail first on a gate that sags.

Why people call about this.
You want the property closed
Livestock, dogs, and kids stay in; traffic off the road stays out.
The old gate drags
A dragging gate is almost always the posts, not the gate — we reset both.
The entrance looks unfinished
A built gate changes how the whole place reads from the road.
MIDLOTHIAN, TX
Custom Gates in Midlothian: what’s different here.
Midlothian is a fast-growing city in northwest Ellis County, about 25 miles southwest of Dallas where US-67 meets US-287, up from 35,125 people at the 2020 census to an estimated 41,000 in 2023. It is the center of the North Texas cement industry, with three cement plants and a steel mill, and new master-planned subdivisions have spread across the prairie around the older downtown, with Joe Pool Lake to the northwest. The City of Midlothian requires a fence permit with a site plan showing property lines, easements, right-of-way and existing buildings (Building Inspections, 215 N. 8th Street, 972-775-7161), master-planned subdivisions typically add HOA guidelines, and Texas811 locates come before any digging.
Gates & Operators in Midlothian
Midlothian drive gates are mostly side-yard gates on subdivision lots that need HOA approval and enough width for a trailer, plus entrances on larger lots at the edge of town, and gate posts set in shallow rock have to be socketed into it rather than sat on top so a heavy gate stays plumb.
The ground
The Austin Chalk escarpment runs north to south through Midlothian, so depending on the side of town a post hole can hit shallow limestone within a couple of feet or go down through heavy clay, and rock often has to be augered or broken to reach full depth.
Homes and lots
Mostly newer single-family subdivisions such as Lawson Farms, Villages of Walnut Grove, Massey Meadows and Hawkins Meadow, a smaller stock of older homes near downtown, and larger lots and acreage on the edges of town.
