In Arlington, Texas, our scope of work included the installation of multiple structures. Initially, we created a retaining wall and installed a wooden fence atop it. Then, we proceeded with an iron fence and gate installation, which required an additional LiftMaster gate opener installation. View below the results of our work!
Arlington Residential Fence and Gate Installation Project Overview
Star Gate and Fence recently completed a comprehensive fence and gate installation project for a homeowner in Arlington, Texas. From planning to final inspection, our crew ensured every step aligned with the client’s vision, schedule, and budget, delivering exceptional results that enhance both security and curb appeal.
At the first phase, as an experienced retaining wall installation company, we began by pouring and finishing a sturdy concrete wall along the property’s perimeter. Once fully cured, our team executed expert wooden fence installation atop the concrete retaining wall, selecting premium wooden boards and installing them with precise spacing and alignment to create a seamless transition from masonry to timber.
Next, at the second phase, within the property, we tackled the metalwork phase, performing meticulous fence and gate installation. Both the fence and the gate were made of iron. Each section was anchored firmly into the concrete base, and the gate hinges and latches were adjusted to guarantee smooth operation and long-lasting durability. The ornamental iron design adds both elegance and protection.
To complete the system, we installed a LiftMaster gate opener on the iron gate, integrating a remote-control mechanism and safety sensors for effortless access and reliable performance. The finished fence and gate installation we performed in Arlington combines structural integrity, refined aesthetics, and modern automation, giving our client a secure, attractive entry solution that stands the test of time.
Retaining Wall installation
Star Gate and Fence completed a professional retaining wall installation around the Arlington property, starting with precise site layout and excavation to establish a solid footing.
We built sturdy plywood forms to shape the wall and installed steel reinforcement cages to strengthen the structure. Once everything was in place, high-strength concrete was poured in a continuous operation to ensure uniformity and durability.
After the concrete cured, our team removed the forms and applied a protective sealant before backfilling with gravel for effective drainage. This approach to retaining wall construction prevents moisture buildup behind the wall and extends its lifespan.
The finished wall now encircles the perimeter, providing a level base for the subsequent fence installation. By combining careful planning with quality materials, we delivered a durable and attractive foundation for any fencing system.
Wooden fence installation
At the next step, we delivered a precise fence installation atop the new concrete base, ensuring a clean transition from masonry to panel. Our team began by positioning the posts at exact intervals, using laser levels to maintain a straight line and uniform height across the entire perimeter.
With the posts secured, we moved on to the horizontal fence installation, fitting each slat carefully between the rails to create a consistent, flush appearance. Attention to spacing was critical: even gaps provide both privacy and airflow, while reinforcing the overall strength of the assembly.
Next, we reinforced all connections with corrosion-resistant fasteners, guaranteeing long-term stability in Arlington’s climate. As part of our comprehensive fence installation services, each panel was checked for plumb and alignment before proceeding to the next section, maintaining perfect continuity along the sloped wall.
Finally, our crew completed the project by trimming and sealing all post tops, then cleaning the site of debris and material offcuts. This final inspection ensured the retaining wall fence installation not only met structural requirements but also presented a refined, cohesive look—ready to stand up to daily use and weather exposure.
iron fence and gate installation
Star Gate and Fence’s fence and gate installation in Arlington began with precisely setting heavy-duty iron posts into the concrete slab, ensuring each support was perfectly plumb and aligned. This initial step laid the groundwork for a robust iron fence installation that would withstand daily use and seasonal weather.
Next, our crew assembled the custom-fabricated iron panels on-site, securing each section between the posts and welding critical joints for maximum strength. As part of the fence and gate installation, we integrated a matching gate frame, carefully measuring for smooth swing and secure closure.
For the gate itself, we installed reinforced hinges and a reliable latch system, then performed an exacting gate installation to guarantee even gaps and effortless operation. The result is a cohesive look that complements the surrounding fence.
Finally, we completed the project by testing every moving part and tightening all fasteners, delivering a seamless fence and gate installation that combines security, durability, and refined style for the Arlington property.
liftmaster gate opener installation
For the final task, Star Gate and Fence completed the LiftMaster gate opener installation by first positioning the unit on a reinforced concrete pad adjacent to the iron gate post. We secured the opener housing with anchor bolts and verified perfect alignment with the gate’s mounting bracket.
Next, our electricians ran a dedicated power line to the opener, connected the control box, and programmed the logic board for smooth operation. As part of the overall fence and gate installation in Arlington, TX, we tested travel limits and force settings to ensure safe, consistent motion.
Finally, we installed the safety sensors and remote-control receiver, then calibrated the system for reliable daily use. This LiftMaster gate opener installation delivers convenience and peace of mind, seamlessly integrating with the completed iron fence and gate.
