WALK GATES · MIDLOTHIAN
Walk & Pedestrian Gates in Midlothian, TX
Walk and pedestrian gates for side yards, front walks and fence lines — hung on posts that stay plumb so the latch still lines up years later. We work across Midlothian — Lawson Farms, Villages of Walnut Grove, Massey Meadows 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.
Side-yard and back-yard gates
The everyday gate between the drive and the back yard, wide enough for the mower and the trash cans.
Front-walk entry gates
Iron or steel gates at the front walk, built to match the fence or the drive gate.
Pedestrian gates beside a drive gate
A walk gate next to an automatic gate so people on foot do not have to run the opener.
Latches and locks that line up
Gravity latches, keyed locks and padlock tabs set where you can reach them from both sides.

Why people call about this.
The latch will not catch
Almost always a leaning post. It needs resetting, not a new latch.
The gate drags on the ground
A walk gate that sags has a frame or a post problem, and it only gets worse.
There is no way through on foot
Opening a 16-foot drive gate to walk to the mailbox wears out the opener.
MIDLOTHIAN, TX
Walk & Pedestrian 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.
