Custom iron driveway gates designed for security, curb appeal and daily use.
Estate Entrance Gates
Estate Entrance Gates That Set the Tone Before Anyone Reaches the House
Grand custom ironwork for long drives and gated properties, designed with the opener and finish from the start.
An estate entrance is the first thing a guest sees and the last thing you pass on the way out. It sets the tone for everything behind it. A gate here has to look the part and hold up to heavy, daily use.
We design estate gates as a complete entrance: the ironwork, the posts, the opener and the finish planned together. Three generations of fence building in South Louisiana shape how we do it, and every custom gate is eligible for the Magnolia Service Membership.

Our process
How Your Estate Entrance Gates Project Gets Built, Step by Step
Walk the property with us
We look at the entrance, the approach and the style of your home or grounds, then talk through what you want guests to see.
Draw the entrance
We design the gate, posts and opener as one piece and review the plan with you before any iron is cut.
Fabricate and set
We build the gate to your approved design and set it with the posts, opener and wiring. You receive an installation schedule up front.
Care after the install
Magnolia Care keeps your entrance in good order, with maintenance visits and a yearly paint touch-up.

Choosing the right entrance for a large property
Estate entrances come in many shapes. These are the choices we walk through with you.
A pair of tall gates gives the grand, classic look many estates want. They need strong posts and a well-matched operator to carry the weight.
A slide gate can suit a long, level fence line and keeps the swing area clear. It needs open room beside the entrance.
Masonry pillars add mass and a stately look. Iron posts keep the entrance lighter and open. Either way, the posts carry the gate, so they get close attention.
A standard gate is built to common sizes. A custom estate gate is drawn for your opening and your property, so the whole entrance feels planned.

Built for south Louisiana
Estate gates planned for the conditions here
Large gates take more punishment from the weather. We plan for south Louisiana before the first post goes in.
Shifting clay soil
Clay swells when wet and shrinks when dry, and that can move heavy posts. We plan the posts so a large gate stays aligned.
Hurricane and tropical storm winds
A tall gate has a lot of surface for wind to push on. We design the ironwork, hinges and posts to handle those loads.
Humid air and rust
Moisture sits on iron for much of the year here. The finish is planned with the design, and your Magnolia paint touch-up each year helps protect it.
