Collin County, TX
Fence & Gate Company in Plano, TX
Morrison Gate & Fence works with Plano homeowners on new fences, fence repair, driveway gates, and gate automation. Each project starts with the property: where privacy matters, how the driveway is used, what fencing and landscaping are already in place, and where gates need to open.
Fence Installation in Plano, TX
A new residential fence has to fit the lot it sits on. We look at the property boundaries you want to follow, how much of the yard needs enclosing, and whether the goal is privacy, a defined boundary, or both. Gate openings are planned at the same time so walkways, side yards, and trash-bin access still work once the fence is up. Read more about how we approach new projects on our fence installation page.
Wood & Cedar Privacy Fences
Wood, and cedar in particular, is a popular choice for back yards where screening from neighbors or the street is the priority. Board style and height affect both how private the yard feels and how the fence looks from the house. Mature trees, planting beds, and slopes can influence where the fence line runs, and any gates should be placed so they connect cleanly to the fence on either side. The right construction details depend on the specific fence and site. For more detail, see our Plano wood privacy fence installation guide.
Fence Repair in Plano
Many fence problems are localized: a few damaged boards, a loose rail, a section that has started to lean, or a post that has shifted. Fence areas beside gates tend to take extra wear because of the repeated movement. When damage stays in a limited area, repair is often reasonable; when it is spread along long runs, replacement may make more sense. Our fence repair page explains the process, and our Plano fence repair guide covers boards, posts, and leaning sections in more detail.
Gate Installation & Driveway Gates in Plano
Planning a new entrance starts with the driveway layout and the width of the opening. From there, we consider how the gate will meet the fence line, what landscaping sits nearby, whether masonry columns are part of the entrance, and how much clearance the gate needs to open without hitting the drive or plantings. See our gate installation and driveway gates pages for more on entrance options, or read our Plano driveway gate installation guide.
Automatic Gates & Access Control
Automation can be added to a new gate or, in many cases, to an existing one that moves freely. An operator drives the gate, and entry can be handled with remotes, a keypad, or an intercom or telephone entry system, depending on who needs to come and go. Learn more about automatic gates, sliding gates, and access control. If a gate or its operator isn't working properly, our gate repair page covers common issues, and our guide to automatic gate repair in Plano explains how powered gates are diagnosed.
Fence & Gate Options for Plano Properties
No single fence or gate setup suits every Plano home. A corner lot may need a different approach than an interior lot, and a home with a side-entry driveway raises different questions than one with a front drive. Things worth weighing include privacy, side-yard access, driveway access, landscaping you want to keep, fencing that already exists, where gates belong, and any masonry features the new work needs to meet. For homes that need a gate primarily for everyday family use, our residential gates page is a helpful starting point.

Plano Fence & Gate FAQs
How should I choose a fence for a Plano property?
Start with what the fence needs to do. Screening a back patio, enclosing a side yard, and marking a boundary can each point to a different height and style. Existing fence lines, trees, and where gates need to go also shape the choice.
When should a damaged fence be repaired instead of replaced?
Repair often makes sense when the problem is limited to a few boards, a rail, or a single post and the rest of the fence is sound. If many posts are moving or long runs are worn, replacement may be more practical. An in-person look usually settles it.
What should I consider when planning a driveway gate?
Measure the opening, then look at the space the gate will need to open or slide, the slope of the drive, and how the gate will meet the fence or any columns. It also helps to decide early whether the gate may be automated.
Can an existing driveway gate be automated?
Often, yes, if the gate is level, moves freely by hand, and its hinges or rollers are in good condition. Power availability and the gate's size and weight also factor into whether automation is a good fit.
How do swing and sliding gates differ?
A swing gate pivots on hinges and needs clear room in its path to open. A sliding gate rolls sideways and needs space along the fence line beside the opening. The driveway's layout usually makes one more practical than the other.
What should I check with my HOA or the City of Plano before changing a fence or gate?
Rules on height, materials, style, or placement may apply depending on where you live. We recommend homeowners confirm any HOA guidelines and City of Plano requirements themselves before work begins.
