Garland Gate Pros provides professional wood gates in Garland, TX for residential and commercial properties across the Dallas metroplex. Wood driveway gates read warm in a way metal never manages, and a horizontal-slat cedar gate against a modern brick elevation still beats anything else on the street. The catch is that wood on its own will not hold a fourteen-foot span square through one Texas summer, which is why every wood gate we build in Garland hangs on a welded steel frame. That is not us upselling steel, it is physics. Wood takes on moisture during a wet April and gives it back during a hundred-degree August, and a gate framed entirely in lumber works its joints loose a little more with every cycle until it becomes a parallelogram. You see the evidence all over town: a gate that closed perfectly the first year now needs a lift and a shoulder, and there is a fresh arc scraped into the concrete. Putting the load on a steel frame and hanging cedar off it as cladding lets the metal hold the geometry while the wood does what wood is genuinely good at, which is looking expensive. Species matters more than people expect. Western red cedar has real rot and insect resistance and takes a penetrating stain beautifully, which is why we default to it. We steer customers away from pine and most big-box treated lumber for gate cladding because it moves more, cups faster, and bleeds tannin through finishes in this climate. Whatever we use gets sealed on all six faces before assembly, including the end grain and the hidden back side, because rot never begins on the face you can see. It begins at an unsealed cut end sitting against a rail with nowhere to drain. Design options include horizontal slat with a consistent reveal, tight board-on-board for full privacy, vertical tongue-and-groove, framed panel, and mixed wood-and-iron where the iron carries the ornament and the wood carries the warmth. Slat spacing deserves thought, because a tighter gap looks better and catches considerably more wind, and wind load is what drives hinge, post, and footing sizing on an exposed North Texas lot. Refinishing is the part people underestimate. A film-forming finish looks superb for eighteen months, then peels in sheets and has to be stripped back before it can be redone. We use penetrating stains that fade rather than fail, so a maintenance coat is an afternoon with a brush rather than a weekend with a sander. We also rebuild tired wood gates instead of replacing them: re-slatting warped or silvered boards onto the existing frame, splicing in a new bottom rail, re-hanging on proper hinges, and welding a steel frame into a wood gate that never had one.
With 15+ years of experience, our licensed and insured team brings the right materials and equipment to every job — wrought iron and ornamental steel fabrication, powder-coated aluminum gates, truck-rated cantilever slide gates, LiftMaster, DoorKing and FAAC operators, Class I-IV operator classifications, UL 325 entrapment protection — and backs the work with a written workmanship warranty. We serve Garland and nearby communities including Richardson, Mesquite, Rowlett, Plano.

Materials, equipment and how we do wood gates
The difference between wood gates that lasts and wood gates that gets redone in three years is almost always preparation and materials, not the finish you see on day one. We work with wrought iron and ornamental steel fabrication, powder-coated aluminum gates, truck-rated cantilever slide gates, LiftMaster, DoorKing and FAAC operators, spec them to the job instead of to the invoice, and write the material grades into the free estimate so you know exactly what you are buying.
Every Garland job runs the same way: site walk and measurements, written scope and fixed price, protection of the surrounding area, then the work itself with a daily clean-up. 15+ years of gate work in the Dallas metroplex means we have already met whatever your property is going to throw at us — awkward access, older construction, an HOA with opinions.
