If you’re adding an automatic driveway gate to a lot in Manor, the work starts long before the operator goes on. Manor sits on the Blackland Prairie east of Austin, where expansive clay soil shrinks and swells with every wet-dry cycle. That means post footings, swing clearances and operator mounting all have to be planned for ground that won’t stay put. New subdivisions on the east side of the metro are filling in former farmland with ornamental metal and ranch-style entrances, while older properties still run wooden driveway gates. We’re a dedicated gate specialist, not a garage-door company that also touches gates, and we install electric or manual systems across nine brands. Call (888) 853-0490 for a free estimate.
Why Manor Homes Are Different
Blackland Prairie clay is the defining fact of gate work in Manor. This soil absorbs and releases moisture dramatically, and after a heavy rain, posts set in that black clay can swell and lean within days. We often return to the same Manor properties each spring to re-set posts that shifted over the winter. In the limestone hills to the west, ground movement is gentler; here it’s part of routine upkeep.
Housing in Manor splits along two lines. Older single-family homes and remaining farmland properties tend to have wider entrances and heavier wooden gates. The fast-growing subdivisions on the metro’s east side bring newer ornamental metal gates on tighter lots, often with access hardware and safety edges from the start. Long, hot summers followed by periodic heavy rains mean hinges, latches and control boxes take a real beating. Before any installation, ask the city about permit requirements for the post depth and electrical work, and check with your HOA on gate style, height and setback from the property line.

Our Main Manor Services
Manor customers call us most often for two things: getting a damaged or shifting gate repaired, and getting the electric side of an automatic gate diagnosed and fixed.
Gate Repair in Manor
Repair work in Manor usually starts at the ground. Expansive clay heaves and tilts posts, which throws off swing gates, drags slide gates off their track and throws latches out of alignment. A sag that looks like a hinge problem is often a footing problem. We reset posts in active clay, repair hinges and latches, and correct track and roller wear. Heavy gate panels can crush fingers and hands, so we recommend a trained technician for anything involving a leaning post or a jammed panel. For help here, call us about gate repair in Manor.
Electric Gate Repair in Manor
Electric gate repair is its own trade within gate work, and it’s a named service for us here. We troubleshoot motors, control boards, safety sensors, loop detectors and access hardware on both residential driveway systems and commercial access gates. After a stretch of heavy rain and summer heat, control boxes and wiring connections are common failure points in Manor. Operator wiring and power have real shock and electrocution risk, so that side is always handled by a trained gate technician rather than a do-it-yourself project. If your gate won’t open on its own, call us about electric gate repair in Manor.
Gate Installation in Manor
Installing a gate in Manor means engineering for ground that moves. Our gate installation work starts with footing depth and drainage suited to Blackland Prairie clay, then builds outward to the gate type and operator that fit your entrance. Older farmland properties and the newer subdivisions on the east side call for different approaches: wider ranch-style entrances sit differently than a newer ornamental metal gate on a tighter lot. Electric or manual, we handle both. Because we cover both repair and new installation under one roof, you’re not handed off to a second contractor if an existing gate turns out to be past saving. We cover Viking, Ghost Controls, DoorKing and Elite operators, and we work with you on a free measure and a written price before anything is ordered.
Automatic Gate Installation
Signs you need it
You’re tired of getting out of the car every time you arrive, or your existing gate has become an electrical headache that no one seems able to sort out.
What it costs in Manor
An automatic gate installation in Manor is an ordered, scheduled job estimated in the written quote, with the final price set by the written estimate after we measure the entrance and confirm grounding and power.
How we do it
We assess the entrance, set or confirm footings in the clay, mount the gate, install and wire the operator, sensors and safety edges, then test the full cycle and walk you through controls and manual release.
Driveway Gate Installation
Signs you need it
Your driveway entrance is open to the road, you’re adding a new entrance on a lot that once ran as farmland, or the old gate no longer matches the property.
What it costs in Manor
Driveway gate installation in Manor is quoted per job, with the written estimate covering the gate, posts and any operator you choose.
How we do it
We measure the driveway and set post positions for the clay and drainage, install posts to proper footing depth, hang the gate and check swing or slide clearance before adding an operator.

Can you install a gate on Manor’s clay soil?
Yes. We plan footing depth and drainage for the expansive Blackland Prairie clay before installation, then check the gate’s swing or slide clearance as the ground moves seasonally. The written price is agreed before work starts.
Do you handle the power run and the safety edges?
Yes. We install and wire the operator, safety sensors and safety edges as part of the job. Power and wiring carry real risk, so it’s done by a trained gate technician. Call (888) 853-0490 for a free estimate.
Brands We Service in Manor
We work on your brand across the market, whether that’s a DIY-friendly Ghost Controls or Mighty Mule system or a commercial-grade DoorKing, Elite, FAAC, BFT, LiftMaster, Linear or Viking operator. We don’t keep parts stocked, so turnaround depends on the brand and part. See our brands for the full range.

What Manor Customers Say
"Hinge post had rotted at the base and the whole swing gate was sagging into the concrete. He rebuilt the post rather than talking us into a whole new gate, which two other companies had pushed for."
- Adriana Torres"The loop detector under the driveway had failed and residents were stuck holding the button. He traced it, found the break, and had the exit loop reading cars again the same visit."
- Craig Quinn"Our slide gate had been dragging for months and getting worse. Turned out the chain was stretched and one of the guide rollers had seized. Both replaced, and he adjusted the limits so it stops properly at both ends now."
