Where to start

Services to consider in Frisco

Swing or sliding for a Frisco driveway?

Lot shapes and setbacks vary, so the right layout depends on your own frontage. Here is how the choice usually breaks down.

Swing gates suit: Driveways with clear room for the leaves to open and a reasonably level approach. Double leaves split a wide opening into manageable weights.
Sliding gates suit: Short setbacks, sloped drives or sites where a swinging leaf would hit landscaping, a wall or a parked car. They need clear fence line beside the opening.
Either way: Plan power, conduit and safety devices early. Adding them after the gate and pillars are finished is harder.

Planning an automated gate? Ask yourself

Answering these before you call makes the first conversation faster.

Who will use the gate: family, guests, deliveries, service providers?
Do you want a keypad, remotes, an intercom or a combination?
Is power available near the gate, and where?
Should the gate work during a power outage?
Are the pillars or posts new, or existing?

Gate and pillars as one design

Brick or stone pillars and the gate between them are usually designed together. If pillars are being built by a mason, share the gate plans early so footings, hinge anchors and conduit are in the right place. If pillars already exist, we check that they can carry the gate before agreeing to hang it.

Questions

Working in Frisco: common questions

Can you automate a gate I already have?

Often yes, once we check that the gate and posts are sound. An operator can expose weaknesses in an underbuilt gate.

Do you coordinate with my mason or builder?

We can coordinate details such as hinge anchors and conduit with the people building pillars or the home.

Do automatic gates need approvals?

Requirements vary by property and neighborhood. We review them for your project.

Do you have a Frisco office?

No. We are based in Dallas and serve Frisco and the rest of DFW.
