Automatic Driveway Gate Installation in Dallas

Duncan’s Fence & Gates of North Dallas builds and installs automatic driveway gates for Dallas-area homes and businesses. Choose a custom sliding or swing gate with a LiftMaster operator and compatible keypad, remote or app controls. We serve Dallas, Plano, Richardson, Addison and nearby North Dallas communities.

A complete driveway entrance, planned around your property

We review the driveway opening, gate travel, supports, power and entry controls before selecting equipment. New gate construction and operator installation are itemized in the estimate. For a combined project, we can coordinate your entrance with new cedar privacy fencing.

Automatic gates we have built and upgraded

From a 40-foot solar-powered cedar gate in Dallas to commercial operator replacements in Mesquite, these projects show the gate construction and automation work we perform.

Lake Highlands, Dallas — 8-foot cedar shadow-box fence with metal posts and dark walnut stain

Lake Highlands, Dallas · March 2026

Duncan’s Horizontal Signature fence and automatic gate

About 300 linear feet · Metal posts · Dark walnut stain

In March 2026, we removed the old fence and installed approximately 300 linear feet of 8-foot cedar board-on-board shadow-box fencing in our Duncan’s Horizontal Signature design on metal posts in Lake Highlands, Dallas. The work included the back fence and street-facing fence, one pedestrian gate and one automatic driveway gate powered by a LiftMaster CSL24UL. We finished the cedar with Hue-Miller dark walnut stain. The project took three weeks.

Swing or sliding: start with the opening

A swing gate needs room to travel through its arc. A sliding gate needs space beside the driveway for the gate to retract. Driveway slope, available clearance, the gate’s size and weight, and how frequently the entrance is used all influence the design. Photos from both sides of the entrance help us begin evaluating the layout.

Gate construction and automation are separate parts of the quote

A new gate may require fabrication, posts, support work and a coordinated fence connection before automation is added. If you already have a manual gate, its condition and movement need to be evaluated before an operator is selected. We’ll explain which parts can be reused and what needs to change.

Choose how people enter

Remote controls and keypads suit different access needs. Compatible app-based controls can add convenience where the selected system and connectivity support them. Tell us whether access is for a household, staff, guests or multiple residents so we can discuss the right arrangement.

Equipment matched to the job

Our gate work includes LiftMaster systems, with equipment selection based on the application. Power supply, backup needs, gate travel and protective devices are part of planning. Solar may be an option where site conditions and system demand make it suitable.

How much does an automatic driveway gate installation cost?

The quote depends on the opening width, gate material, swing or sliding layout, supports, power supply, operator and access controls. A new gate and automation are separate parts of the scope. Send photos from both sides of the driveway, your approximate opening width and your ZIP code for an installation estimate.

Can you automate my existing gate?

Possibly. We need to assess the gate structure, supports, movement and available space before confirming that it is suitable.

Can I use my phone to open the gate?

Compatible equipment may support app access. Connectivity, selected controls and service requirements should be checked before that feature is included in the quote.
