Fences & automatic gates.
Cedar privacy fences, ornamental iron, repairs and restaining — and swing and slide driveway gates with operators, keypads and remotes.
A fence is the first thing people see and the last thing anyone thinks about — until a storm leans half of it into the neighbor's yard.
Good fencing is mostly about the parts that hold it up. Posts set properly, in the right material, survive the North Texas wind. Posts set cheaply are the reason so many fences here lean after a few seasons.
What we build
Cedar privacy fences
Board-on-board and side-by-side cedar, built straight and finished to last.
Ornamental iron
Iron and steel fencing for front yards, pools and properties where you want to see through it.
Repair & restaining
Storm damage repaired, posts reset, boards replaced, and old fences cleaned and restained.
Automatic driveway gates
Swing and slide gates with operators, keypads and remote access, installed and adjusted.
What makes the difference
The posts. Everything else hangs off them. Set deep enough, in concrete, they keep the line straight through wind and wet ground.
Storm repair. When high winds took down part of one client's fence, the posts were repaired, boards replaced and the fence brought back upright — no full replacement needed.
Restaining. Cedar in full Texas sun greys fast. Cleaning and restaining every few years keeps the color and protects the wood.
Gate safety. Automatic gates are heavy moving machinery. Photo eyes and safety sensors that stop a gate on contact aren't optional extras — they're the part that matters most.
What they said afterward.
…They also repaired another portion of the fence that had been damaged by high winds, they repaired posts, replaced boards, and brought the fence upright. It also turned out very nice.…
Toby and his team did a great job re-staining my fence and replacing broken pavers on my back patio.
Good to know.
Swing gate or slide gate?
Swing gates suit drives with clear space for the gate to open into. Slide gates run along the fence line, so they suit short or sloped drives, or anywhere a swinging gate would hit a car or the house. Both can be automated.
Can you automate the gate I already have?
Often, yes — if the gate and posts are in good shape and the gate swings or rolls freely. A sagging or binding gate needs fixing first, or it will wear an operator out quickly.
How often should a cedar fence be restained?
Every two to four years in North Texas, depending on sun exposure and the stain used. Waiting until the wood is grey and dry means more prep and a shorter-lived finish.
