At 3811 Princess Ln, Dallas, TX, our scope of work included the construction of a retaining wall, the installation of a wooden fence, fabrication and installation of a custom gate, the integration of an automated gate opener system, and finally, a pergola installation.
This residential project at 3811 Princess Lane in Dallas, TX, was a complete outdoor transformation designed to blend modern aesthetics with structural functionality. The homeowner sought to enhance the property’s visual appeal while improving privacy, security, and usability across the exterior space.
To achieve this, our team was tasked with designing and installing a custom retaining wall, a contemporary sliding gate, an overhead pergola structure, and a fully integrated gate automation system. Each element of the project had to meet high standards of durability and craftsmanship while maintaining a cohesive, modern look.
The retaining wall was a critical component, not just for visual boundaries but also for managing the elevation change around the pool area. The sleek black horizontal steel gate was crafted to offer a bold, clean-lined entry while matching the architecture of the home. Over the patio, we installed a minimalist pergola to create a shaded, elegant outdoor space without compromising natural light or openness.
Finally, we implemented a smart LiftMaster CSL24UL gate opener system, offering smooth, quiet operation and advanced remote access via MyQ technology. Every phase of the project was carried out with attention to detail, ensuring the result would stand the test of time both structurally and visually.
Grade Variation: The pool elevation created complications for a level fence and required a reinforced retaining wall.
Modern Aesthetic Expectations: The client wanted all installations (gate, pergola, fencing) to match a clean, contemporary visual style.
Gate Automation: Needed a reliable opener solution for a large, heavy steel gate without compromising safety.
Tight Space Coordination: Pergola installation required precision over tiled flooring and existing architecture.
Installed a galvanized post and bracket system with horizontal treated planks.
Ensured secure drainage and foundational support near the pool deck.
Clean transitions to vertical fencing to maintain visual flow.
Having constructed the retaining wall, we installed a wooden fence.
Constructed a sleek aluminum pergola above the patio area.
Coordinated anchoring to the home’s façade for stability.
Aligned panels for consistent shade coverage without obstructing pool views.
Fabricated and installed a modern black horizontal-slat steel gate.
Integrated with custom posts and ensured smooth sliding operation.
Mounted securely on a custom concrete base.
Wired for long-term durability and weather protection.
System tested with full open/close cycles and safety checks.
