Driveway Gate Designs & Ideas by JDR Metal Art
Totally Transform Your Property Entrance in 2022!
Having a custom driveway gate designed and built is usually a once in a lifetime event. In our experience, most gate buyers are first-time gate buyers, although on a regular basis we work with our repeat customers as well as experienced gate buyers. Whatever the case may be, it’s a special event and we understand the importance of each and every detail to our clients.
We delight in meeting and often exceeding our client’s expectations. We strive to make the gate design process affordable and easy, and to put you in a position to get exactly what you want! JDR Metal Art is here to help you put together a one-of-a-kind driveway entrance gate design.

Endless Design Possibilities – The Sky is the Limit
Whether your need a brand new traditional, modern or plasma cut driveway gate design; we take the information you give us about your entrance and get to work creating a new design that everyone (especially you!) will love. We provide you with copies of the artwork as it progresses. With your guidance we revise if necessary and provide you with a final draft for approval. We provide artistic renderings to you in the common jpeg file format via email, text message, or snail mail, whichever you prefer.
Notice to fabricators and those in the gate industry seeking ready made designs: We only provide artistic renderings of our new gate designs for clients. We do NOT sell or provide .CAD files, .DXF files or any other computerized design drafting file formats.
How to Begin Designing The Best Driveway Gates
To begin with, we will need to know about things such as the width of the entrance, whether you will be mounting the gates to stone or brick columns or steel (or aluminum) posts, if you want an arched or flat top, and the general desired theme.
For our plasma cut gates, a photograph of your entrance or the desired background area is very helpful:
Photographs of the proposed installation site of the gate, while not totally necessary, are the #1 thing that will help us design a gate that fits the area surrounding the gate site. This is more important for some properties than others, depending on the requested design theme and the surrounding landscape.
We can actually take the pictures you provide of your entrance and superimpose the proposed design onto the picture so you can see exactly how your entrance will look before we proceed to the fabrication stage.
Once we have gathered all the information we need, we design a gate frame template and fill in the “canvas” with a few basic rough drafts. From there, you choose which gate designs fit your tastes and we work with those until you are ready to proceed with a “winning design” which we further modify to finish out the design process.
Design Timeline
It generally takes 2-3 weeks to see the design process through from start to finish, and we have yet to see anyone disappointed!! More complex projects can take longer depending on our current work load.
