Our team provides leaf, operator and sensor packages sized as a set, delivering a quiet, reliable gate for homes and a continuous-duty system for both residential and commercial projects. Backed by 17 years in business and our 18-month workmanship warranty, we've completed over 1,483 projects, from a single walk-up keypad gate to paired estate leaves with soft-stop drives.
From weighing the finished leaf before a hinge is ordered to running the entrapment test with you watching, our team handles every detail. Serving Cedar Park and neighboring Round Rock, Leander and Georgetown, we build each automatic driveway gate so the steel, the motor and the sensors work as a single machine.
Request a free estimate, and we will measure your opening, weigh the leaf on paper and price the whole system before any part is ordered.
What you can hold us to
Hollis, Buttercup Creek, Cedar Park
A corner lot owner who wanted the drive closed for two dogs without losing guest parking
Investment and duration figures are estimates. Your written quote sets the final price and schedule.
Hollis owns a corner lot in Buttercup Creek and wanted the drive closed for two dogs without losing guest parking. We built one long 16 ft powder-coated tube steel leaf that opens inward on an articulated arm, with a keypad at car-window height and a phone app. The project was an estimated $3,100 to $4,300 and took an estimated 1 to 2 days on site. Guests now buzz through on a code and the dogs stay behind the line. Hollis's 16 ft single leaf on a 2000s lot is built from powder-coated tube steel. Cedar Park grew from 26,049 residents in 2000 to 77,595 in 2020, and the same Buttercup Creek design suits the tract lots built in that growth.
An automatic driveway gate is one system because the leaf weight sets the hinge, the hinge and weight set the operator, and the operator sets which safety sensors it needs. That is why we weigh the finished leaf before anything is purchased.
Crystal Falls in Leander and Forest Creek in Round Rock both have builder-era drives cut for one car width. A corner lot like Hollis's in Buttercup Creek gets the keypad at car window height, where a driver can reach it.
A complete automatic driveway gate in Cedar Park for a single swing leaf is typically estimated at $2,700 to $4,900 per system, and the leaf style, the leaf weight and the distance to power move the price most. Double leaf and cantilever systems sit higher in the table below.

Investment and duration figures are estimates. Your written quote sets the final price and schedule.
| Job | Est. investment | Est. duration on site |
|---|---|---|
| Ground-track slide gate with rack drive | Est. $1,700 to $4,800 per complete system | Est. 2 to 3 days |
| Single swing leaf with operator, keypad and remotes | Est. $2,700 to $4,900 per complete system | Est. 1 to 2 days |
| Double leaf swing entry with two operators | Est. $4,200 to $7,800 per complete system | Est. 2 to 3 days |
| Video intercom and keypad entry added | Est. $750 to $4,300 per system | Est. 4 to 8 hours |
| Trackless cantilever gate | Est. $6,200 to $9,800 per complete system | Est. 2 to 4 days |
A single swing leaf with its operator is typically an estimated 1 to 2 days of work, while a double leaf entry runs an estimated 2 to 3 days. A track slide gate with rack drive also typically takes 2 to 3 days, while a trackless cantilever gate typically takes 2 to 4 days. Powering a swing leaf you already own is an estimated $1,900 to $3,700 for the operator, with about 4 to 8 hours of install work. A video intercom and keypad entry is estimated at $750 to $4,300 and also typically takes 4 to 8 hours. A walk gate set beside the drive is an estimated $650 to $1,450, so the family can skip the main leaf. A pool barrier with self-closing gate is typically estimated at $32 to $44 per linear foot, and an ornamental tube steel fence line beside the leaf is typically estimated at $52 to $83 per linear foot. A quarterly gate service plan typically takes 1 to 3 hours per visit.
Treat every figure in this section as an estimate that can change with the leaf weight, the operator rating and the distance to power, because the written quote prepared after our measure is what sets the final price and the install schedule.
The leaf layout decides the operator, and the operator decides how people get in.
| Leaf layout | Operator we pair with it | Best entry device |
|---|---|---|
| Single swing leaf | Linear actuator or articulated arm | Keypad or phone app at car-window height |
| Double swing leaves | Two linear or arm operators | Loop detector for exit, video intercom for visitors |
| Ground-track slide | Rack-and-pinion drive | Keypad on a pedestal beside the track |
| Trackless cantilever | Rack-and-pinion drive on roller carriages | Intercom and long-range remote for heavy daily use |
Every automatic gate is tested for entrapment before we leave. Our gate automation technician sets the photo eyes across the opening and pressure-sensitive edges on the leading frame, then trips each one with the operator running to confirm the gate reverses.
Fire access depends on which city you are in, and we confirm it before the gate is ordered. Round Rock's Fire Marshal guidelines call for a city-approved Knox key switch on access-controlled gates and an acceptance test before the gate runs. Lakeway asks the owner to give gate codes to police and to install a key switch for Travis County ESD #6. For a Cedar Park gate, we ask the fire department having jurisdiction and write the answer on your quote.
The leaf material sets the weight, and the weight sets the operator, so material is part of the system decision. Our steel gate material guide covers the galvanizing and powder coat choices, and custom driveway gate design covers the picket patterns.
Our estimator measures the opening, the grade and the post locations himself, and the same technician who wires the operator runs the final test. In 17 years we have set more than 1,483 projects, and the 18-month workmanship warranty covers welds, hinge set, footings and gate travel on every system.
We install automatic gates across a 40-mile radius from Cedar Park, with jobs in Leander, Round Rock and Georgetown, plus Lakeway, Steiner Ranch and Volente on our service area page. Cole's Crystal Falls leaves in Leander open on linear operators, with a loop detector for exit. Jerome's gate on Andice Road in Georgetown works 900 ft from the house with solar charging and a long-range remote.
Leander and Cedar Park drives usually take a single swing leaf, and that job typically runs 1 to 2 days. Round Rock and Georgetown lots with a short apron often suit a rack-and-pinion slide, typically 2 to 3 days on site. Lakeway and Steiner Ranch hillsides push owners toward trackless frames, which typically need 2 to 4 days. Footings on Yvonne's Lime Creek Road lot in Volente were rock-bored into the ledge, so the auger crew carries rock bits there. Rollingwood and Shady Hollow owners should expect a city or fire check before the leaf is ordered, and The Hills adds association approval first. A sloped drive like Beckett's in Great Hills gets its swing arc checked against the grade, with the leaf cut to clear it.
An automatic gate often pairs with gate access control and intercoms for visitors, a solar gate operator where power is far away, or operator retrofits for a gate you already own.
A single swing system is typically estimated at $2,700 to $4,900, a figure that firms up only once the leaf is weighed on paper.
Most systems take an estimated 1 to 4 days on site, depending on the leaf style, and your written quote sets the schedule.
Yes, every operator we set carries battery backup and a manual release, so the gate can be opened by hand.
Ours get photo eyes across the opening and pressure edges at each pinch zone, and both have to reverse the leaf before we sign off.
Yes, a Forest Creek gate in Round Rock or a Wolf Ranch gate in Georgetown gets the same operator and sensor package as one at a Cedar Park home.
Operators carry the maker's parts warranty, usually 1 to 5 years, and our 18-month workmanship warranty covers welds, hinges, footings and travel.
Request a free estimate, and our estimator will come out, measure the opening, weigh the leaf on paper and itemize the leaf, the operator and the sensors in the quote.
Start to finish
An estimator walks the opening, reads the grade and marks where the leaf or the slide run has to clear.
Steel gets cut only after you sign off on a scaled drawing that names the tube, the coating and the opener.
Our Cedar Park welders build it, the steel goes for galvanizing and powder coat, and it ships finished.
Posts cure, the leaf goes up, the opener gets wired, and you watch each photo eye and edge stop the gate.
