What you can hold us to
Renata on Redbud Trail had an architect's elevation with a slim arch that had to stay see-through from the road, so we hung two arched leaves across a 14 ft opening. It was an estimated $5,600 to $7,600 job that typically took 2 to 3 days.
Bianca on Camp Craft Road had a sloped front yard where solid fencing would not meet the visibility rule, so we built 180 linear feet of 5 ft open picket panels. That fence was an estimated $11,200 to $14,800 and typically took 2 to 4 days.
Shirin on Westlake Drive had 60 linear feet of 1970s forged gate and fence with rust at the collars and scrolls worth keeping. That restoration was an estimated $2,000 to $2,800 and typically took 1 to 3 days.
Code 22.03.173 limits fences to 6 ft from natural ground. A front yard fence needs 80% visibility through it and 80% native screening, so an open picket iron fence fits and a solid one does not. Barbed wire is banned, no fence is allowed on a vacant lot, and variances go to ZAPCO and the council. Confirm current text with the city before you order.
Bianca's 5 ft open picket panels suit a front yard here, because the city's rules favor sight lines over privacy walls. West Lake Hills was incorporated in 1953.
The setback is 20 ft from pavement on a lot under 0.75 acre and 30 ft at 0.75 acre or more, so the lot size decides how far back the gate sits. A deeper setback gives a double leaf swing entry with operators room to open, and that job is estimated at $4,200 to $7,800 over 2 to 3 days. A tube steel single swing drive gate with operator is roughly $2,700 to $4,900 over 1 to 2 days.
About 31% of West Lake Hills homes were built before 1980 (ACS 2024), so many gates here are old forged work worth saving. Shirin's collars and scrolls were kept and repaired, which is why an old iron blast and recoat, estimated at $31 to $48 per linear foot over 1 to 3 days, is a common choice. A hand-forged iron fence is roughly $88 to $128 per linear foot over 3 to 6 days.
Open picket work suits wrought iron fencing and custom driveway gates with an arch. Every frame is sandblasted, primed with zinc-rich primer and powder coated at the coater, with ball-bearing hinges on a slope.
An ornamental tube steel fence line in West Lake Hills is estimated at $52 to $83 per linear foot, and the crew typically finishes in 2 to 4 days. A trackless cantilever gate is roughly $6,200 to $9,800 over 2 to 4 days, and an operator added to an existing gate is an estimated $1,900 to $3,700 over 4 to 8 hours.
A walkway or courtyard entry gate is typically $650 to $1,450 over 4 to 8 hours, and a video intercom and keypad entry is roughly $750 to $4,300 over 4 to 8 hours. At $1,664,500 (ACS 2024), the median owner-occupied home here is the highest on our route outside Rollingwood, and 86.2% of homes are owner occupied. Figures here are estimates that can change if a 20 ft or 30 ft setback moves the gate line, and the written quote prepared after we check your lot against the visibility rule sets the final price and the schedule.
The drive from our Cedar Park shop to West Lake Hills is typically 30 minutes, so the crew that checks the setback also hangs the gate. With 17 years and 1,483 projects behind us, a West Lake Hills gate keeps the 18-month workmanship warranty on welds, hinge set and footings, and its operator keeps the maker's parts warranty.
We work Redbud Trail, Camp Craft Road and Westlake Drive, and the same crew crosses into Rollingwood and Lakeway the same week. Streets beyond these three are on our service area page.
West Lake Hills owners often pair a fence with wrought iron gates, and a quiet arrival suits gate operator installation. A modern home often picks slat gates. A pool barrier with self-closing gate is estimated at $32 to $44 per linear foot over 1 to 3 days.
