Fence & Gate Company in Garland, TX

A new residential fence starts with a walk of the property. Garland lots vary from one street to the next, so we look at where the existing fence line runs, where it meets the house or a neighbor's fence, and how much of the yard needs to be screened. Cedar privacy fencing is a frequent request for back yards, and other wood styles can suit a front or side yard that doesn't need full screening.

Gate openings are planned at the same time as the fence, so side-yard access for mowers and bins still works once the fence is up. Landscaping, trees, and any masonry along the line can affect where posts go. See our fence installation page for more on how we approach new fences, or our Garland wood privacy fence planning guide for cedar and wood fencing specifically.

Many fence problems are localized: a few damaged boards, a leaning section, a post that has worked loose, or a stretch where the wood has deteriorated while the rest of the line is fine. In those cases we repair the affected area rather than the whole fence. See our Garland fence repair guide for local detail, or our general fence repair page.

A gate can be a simple walk gate beside the house or a wide gate across a driveway entrance. For driveways, the width of the opening and the clearance around it guide the layout: a swing gate needs room to open into the drive, while a sliding gate needs space to travel along the fence line. We keep that comparison simple at the estimate and recommend what fits the entrance. Our sliding gate options page explains how those gates work.

Many driveway gates can be manual now and automated later if power is planned for early. Read more about gate installation and driveway gates, or see our Garland driveway gate planning guide.

An automatic gate pairs the gate with an operator that opens and closes it, plus the controls people use to get through. Depending on the entrance, those controls might include remotes, a keypad at the drive, or an intercom. We help match the operator and entry controls to how the gate will be used. See automatic gates and access control for an overview.

The right combination of fence and gate depends on the property. Privacy goals decide height and style; the shape of the lot and existing fence lines decide the layout; and the driveway configuration decides whether a gate belongs across it and what type fits. Some properties have side-yard access to keep open, mature landscaping to work around, or masonry features the fence needs to meet cleanly.

Where applicable, City of Garland rules or HOA guidelines may affect height, style, or placement. We recommend checking those requirements before work is scheduled.

Gates tend to need attention more often than the fence around them. Common issues include a gate dragging on the ground, a gate that doesn't open or latch correctly, operator or control concerns on an automatic gate, and damage to the fence sections next to a gate. Our gate repair page covers what's involved.

We serve homeowners throughout Garland, including areas such as Firewheel, Duck Creek, and Camelot, as well as neighboring cities.
