Grand entrance gates that set the tone for an estate, a long drive or a gated property.
Driveway Gates
Custom Iron Driveway Gates Built Around How You Use Your Drive
We design the ironwork, the opener and the finish together, so your gate looks right and works every day.
Your driveway gate is the part of your property you touch most. It opens when you leave for work, closes behind the school run and greets every guest. It should feel solid, look like it belongs and keep working without fuss.
We build each driveway gate to fit your drive, your home and the way your family or business comes and goes. Every custom gate is eligible for the Magnolia Service Membership, so you have 2 years of preventative maintenance from day one.
What's included
What Your Driveway Gates Estimate Covers
We assess your property on site and give you a clear quote, so you know the work before we start.
Gate design for your drive
We plan the width, the swing or slide, and the look of the ironwork around your drive and your home.
Custom iron fabrication
Your gate is built to your design in iron, not pulled from a catalog and trimmed to size.
Opener planned with the gate
We choose a LiftMaster or Viking operator that suits the weight and style of your gate, then plan the posts and wiring to match.
Safe, code-minded installation
Your gate system is installed to UL325 safety standards and Louisiana State Fire Marshal gate system requirements.
Finish chosen with the design
The finish is part of the plan from the start, so the ironwork is protected as well as good looking.
Magnolia Service Membership
2 years of preventative maintenance, LiftMaster opener protection, an annual paint touch-up and front-of-the-line scheduling.
Our process
How Your Driveway Gates Project Gets Built, Step by Step
Consult on your drive
We visit your property, look at the drive, the posts and the approach, and listen to how you use the entrance.
Design the gate and opener together
We lay out the ironwork, choose the operator and plan the finish as one system, then give you a fair, transparent quote.
Build and install
We fabricate your gate in iron, set it, wire the opener and test the safety sensors. You get an installation schedule before work starts.
Magnolia Care begins
Your Magnolia Service Membership starts once the gate is running, with scheduled maintenance and a touch-up each year.

Swing driveway gates or slide driveway gates
The right style depends on your drive, not on a trend. Here is how we help you think it through during your estimate.
Swing gates open like a door and show off the ironwork well. They need clear room for the leaves to travel, so a sloped or short drive can rule them out.
Slide gates move along the fence line and work where space in front of the gate is tight. They need room beside the opening for the gate to roll back.
A single leaf suits a narrow opening. A double leaf splits the weight between two posts and gives a more classic look on a wide drive.
A ready-made gate is sized for an average opening. A custom gate is built for yours, with the opener and finish planned in from the start.

Built for south Louisiana
Driveway gates built for south Louisiana weather
A gate here works through humid summers, storm season and heavy rain. We plan for that before we build.
Humid air and rust
Iron rusts when the finish wears through and moisture reaches the metal. We plan the finish with the design, and your yearly Magnolia paint touch-up helps keep it sealed.
Storm winds
A solid gate catches wind like a sail. We design the ironwork, hinges and posts with wind loads in mind.
Power outages
Openers need power, and storms take it away. If you want an opener, we talk through your options during the estimate.
