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.
Rolling slide gates
Gate rides a V-groove track set in a concrete strip across the drive.
Cantilever gates
Counterbalanced tail and roller posts beside the opening, with nothing on the ground in the drive.
Wide and commercial openings
Long spans for shops, equipment yards and lots where a swing gate would be too heavy to hang.
Ready for an operator
Built with the rack and the pad in place so a slide operator can go on now or later.

Why people call about this.
The drive is too short
A swing gate that opens inward needs a car length of room you may not have.
The grade runs uphill
A swing gate on a rising drive hits the ground. A slide gate moves across it.
The opening is wide
Past a certain span, leaves sag. A cantilever carries the weight on its own frame.
WAXAHACHIE, TX
Sliding & Cantilever Gates 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.
