Cattle Guard Installation in Central Texas
A properly installed cattle guard keeps livestock from crossing an entrance without requiring a gate to open and close every time someone drives through.
Who This Service Is For
We excavate and set the guard on a properly graded base sized to the entrance width, so it sits level with the road surface and carries vehicle weight without shifting.
- High-traffic ranch entrances used daily
- Reducing gate wear and maintenance at busy access points
- Entrances where a gate would slow down regular vehicle traffic
- Pairing with an existing pipe or wire entrance
Materials & Options
- Steel guard rail sections
- Concrete base
- Graded approach

Common Questions
Does a cattle guard fully replace a gate?
A cattle guard controls livestock crossing but doesn't secure the entrance against people. Many properties use a cattle guard alongside a gate rather than instead of one — we'll talk through what fits your entrance.
What sizes do cattle guards come in?
Cattle guards are sized to the entrance width and expected vehicle loads. We'll size yours to fit your driveway or ranch road.
Do cattle guards need regular maintenance?
A properly installed cattle guard on a solid base needs minimal upkeep, though the surrounding grading should be checked periodically.
