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.
Vegetable garden gates
Gates into a fenced garden built tight at the bottom and tall enough to matter against deer.
Courtyard and entry gates
Arched or flat-top gates into a courtyard or front garden, in iron or cedar.
Cedar in a steel frame
Wood face with a welded steel frame inside, so it looks like cedar and does not sag like it.
Matched to the fence
Built to the same picket, rail or panel as the fence it sits in.

Why people call about this.
Something keeps getting in
Deer, rabbits and dogs find the gap under a gate first.
The yard has no real entrance
A good gate turns a gap in the fence into the front of the garden.
The old wood gate has warped
Wood gates twist in the heat. A steel frame behind the boards stops it.
ENNIS, TX
Garden & Yard Gates in Ennis: what’s different here.
Ennis is a railroad town of about 20,000 people (2020 census) in eastern Ellis County, 35 miles south of Dallas on I-45, founded by the Houston and Texas Central Railroad in 1871 and settled heavily by Czech and Slovak families. It is the Official Bluebonnet City of Texas and is growing, with new subdivisions on the edge of town and acre-plus homesites out in the county. The City of Ennis code FAQ says fences under 8 feet do not need a permit, but asks owners to call the Inspections Department (972-875-6442) first to confirm setbacks; HOA guidelines still apply in the newer subdivisions, and Texas811 locates are needed before any post holes.
Gates & Operators in Ennis
Out on Ennis acreage the drive gate usually sits at the road with the power up at the house, so it is often a wide double-swing or slide gate sized for a stock trailer or equipment and run by a solar operator, while gates in the newer subdivisions are closer to the house and simpler to wire.
The ground
Ennis sits on Blackland Prairie clay (the Kachina Prairie preserve in town protects a remnant of it), which swells in a wet spring and cracks open in August, so post depth and concrete matter more than the boards on top.
Homes and lots
Older frame houses on the streets around downtown, newer HOA subdivisions such as Prairie View, Stonewyck Farms and Christian Meadows, and acre-plus homesites off SH-34, US-287 and the county roads toward Lake Bardwell.
