Diagnosis first
Post, hinges and frame checked with a level so you pay for the right fix.
Racked frames squared
Diagonal bracing, or a steel frame added to a wood gate that has pulled out of square.
Hinge adjustment
Worn or undersized hinges swapped for heavier or adjustable ones.
Post reset when needed
A leaning hinge post dug out and reset, then the gate rehung level.

Why people call about this.
The gate drags on the drive
You are lifting it to swing it, and it is gouging the gravel or the concrete.
The latch no longer lines up
The gate has dropped enough that the latch misses, so it gets chained instead.
The opener strains
A dragging gate overloads the operator and shortens its life.
WAXAHACHIE, TX
Sagging Gate Repair 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.
