Cattle Guards for Sale in Central Texas
Texas Terrain Services fabricates and installs cattle guards for ranch entrances, property lines, and rural driveways across Central Texas. Since 1978, our family-owned team has built cattle guards that hold up to real ranch use, not just standard stock built for the easiest possible install.
If you've searched for cattle guards for sale, you've found a business that both fabricates and installs, so you're not stuck coordinating between a supplier and a separate installer.
What We Offer
Standard-size cattle guards
For common entrance widths and typical vehicle and livestock traffic, standard sizes offer a faster, more cost-effective option without sacrificing durability.
Custom cattle guards
Not every entrance fits a standard size. We fabricate custom cattle guards to your property's exact specifications, whether that's an unusual width, a heavier-duty build for regular heavy equipment traffic, or a specific fit for an existing entrance.
Installation
We don't just sell cattle guards. Our team handles the full installation, including the excavation and base work that determines whether a cattle guard actually holds up over time or shifts and settles within a year or two.
1
Assessment
We look at the entrance width, expected traffic, and ground conditions to recommend standard or custom sizing.
2
Fabrication or sourcing
Standard sizes are typically available faster; custom guards are fabricated to your specifications.
3
Installation
We excavate, set the base, and install the guard so it sits properly and handles regular use without shifting.
4
Final check
We confirm the guard is level, secure, and functioning as it should before considering the job complete.
Our Process
We keep the process straightforward from the first call to the last truckload:
Why Cattle Guard Installation Matters as Much as the Guard Itself
A cattle guard is only as good as what's underneath it. A guard installed without proper excavation and a solid base will settle, shift, or develop gaps over time, even if the guard itself is well-built. This is one of the most common reasons cattle guards fail early, and it's an installation problem, not a product problem. Because we handle both fabrication and installation, we control that entire process rather than handing off a guard to a separate installer who may not size the base correctly.
Before You Buy
Measure the Actual Entrance Width
Getting the measurements right upfront helps avoid delays or an ill-fitting cattle guard.
Think About Traffic Type
Consider heavier equipment or larger vehicles that may cross the guard, even if only occasionally.
Ask About the Base Work
A well-built cattle guard still needs a properly prepared base to perform as it should.
