Fence & Gate Company in McKinney, TX

Planning a residential fence begins with the yard itself: how big it is, what it needs to enclose, and what is already there. If an older fence line exists, we note where it runs and where it ties into the house or a neighboring fence before suggesting a new layout. Wood fencing is a common choice, and cedar privacy styles are often requested for back yards where screening matters most.

Gate openings are placed as part of the same plan so paths, side yards, and equipment access keep working. Trees, beds, and other landscaping can shift where posts land. Our fence installation page describes how we approach new fence projects, and our McKinney wood privacy fence planning guide goes into cedar and backyard layouts.

Not every problem calls for a new fence. Broken or loose boards, a section that has started to lean, a wobbly post, or a small area of worn wood can often be handled on their own. When wider stretches are failing, replacement may be the better route. We look before recommending either; learn more on our fence repair page, or read our McKinney fence repair guide.

Gates range from a single walk gate at the side of the house to a wide gate across the driveway. For driveway entrances, the opening width and the room around it guide the choice: swing gates need space to open inward or outward, and sliding gates need room to move sideways along the fence. How the gate sits within the rest of the property layout matters as much as the gate itself. Our guide to sliding gates covers how that style operates.

A gate can start manual and be automated later if power is considered early. See gate installation and driveway gates for more, or read our McKinney driveway gate installation guide for swing, sliding, and automated entrance planning.

An automatic gate combines the gate with an operator that moves it and the controls used to open it. Those controls can include remotes, a keypad near the drive, or an intercom so visitors can call ahead. We help choose operators and entry controls that suit how often the gate is used and by whom. Read about automatic gates and access control. If an existing gate isn't working as it should, see our guide to automatic gate repair in McKinney.

Residential lots in McKinney can differ quite a bit, so the right fence and gate depend on the specific property. Considerations may include how much privacy you want, the shape of the yard, whether side-yard access needs to stay open, established landscaping, where existing fence lines run, and how the driveway is set up. Where masonry columns or walls are present, the fence may need to meet them neatly.

City of McKinney rules or HOA guidelines may apply to height, style, or placement in some areas. We suggest confirming any requirements with the city or your HOA before work begins.

Gates see more movement than the fence around them, so they often need attention first. Typical signs include a gate that drags or sags, one that won't open or close properly, problems with an automatic operator or its controls, and damage where the gate meets the fence. Our gate repair service page explains what is involved.

We work with homeowners across McKinney, including areas such as Historic Downtown, Stonebridge Ranch, and Craig Ranch, and in nearby Collin County cities.
