Driveway Gates in New Orleans, LA
Custom iron driveway gates designed for security, curb appeal and daily use.
A driveway gate in New Orleans has to handle tight lots, hard use and a lot of weather. Many Uptown streets are lined with historic shotgun homes on narrow parcels, so we measure the drive carefully and design a custom iron gate that fits the width you actually have. Soft, settling ground can lean a post and make a heavy gate drag across the pavement, so we plan the posts and hinges with that movement in mind. Hurricane-force wind is the second concern. A swinging leaf acts like a sail, and we build the frame, hinges and operator arm to carry that load. Near Lakeview and along the lake, we also think about how humid, salty air attacks any spot where the finish chips. If you want the gate to open automatically, we install LiftMaster or Viking operators to UL325 and Louisiana State Fire Marshal gate system requirements. Every custom gate is eligible for the Magnolia Service Membership, which adds 2 years of preventative maintenance after we install it. Our crew follows a simple path: consult, design, build, install, then Magnolia care. Tell us about your driveway and we will set up a free on-site visit and a clear quote.

Finish chosen with the design

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.
