Our team provides column layout, sight line checks and footing design, delivering a finished entry for homes and a gated approach 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 simple pair of piers to a full wall-and-column entry.
From the column footing to the last uplight, our team handles the masonry tie-ins, the gate and the lighting circuit. Serving Cedar Park along with Lakeway, West Lake Hills and Leander, we plan the columns, the gate and the lighting together so the entry reads as one piece.

What you can hold us to
Maribel, Rough Hollow, Lakeway
A lake-view home with new limestone columns and a gate that had to pass the flat-top rule
Investment and duration figures are estimates. Your written quote sets the final price and schedule.
Maribel has a lake-view home in Rough Hollow, Lakeway, with new limestone columns and a gate that had to pass the flat-top rule. We set a flat-topped leaf pair, bolted into columns tied to deep footings, with soft-stop operators. The 16 ft opening between the limestone columns, in steel with oil-rubbed bronze powder coat, was an estimated $6,400 to $7,900 and took an estimated 2 to 3 days. It is a quiet, formal entry that clears the current fence ordinance.
An estate entry is the gate, the columns, the walls beside it and the lighting, drawn together on one plan. A gate hung on columns that were built first often ends up with the wrong width, so we plan the opening before the masonry is poured.
Maribel's lake-view home in Rough Hollow has new limestone columns that frame the flat-top pair. On an entry closer to the road, the columns and the lights carry more of the first impression.
The gate pair and operators alone are an estimated $4,200 to $7,800, and the opening width, the leaf weight and the column footings move that number most. The columns, walls and lighting are priced separately on your written quote.
Two leaves on heavy hinges for a wide drive with level swing room behind the gate
One leaf, one operator, keypad and remotes, for a narrow suburban drive
Roller carriages and a counterbalance tail for sloped drives and heavy use
Pedestal or column entry device tied to a phone app and resident codes
A single person-sized leaf with a keyed or magnetic latch

| Job | Est. investment | Est. duration on site |
|---|---|---|
| Double leaf swing entry with operators | Est. $4,200 to $7,800 per complete system | Est. 2 to 3 days |
| Tube steel single swing drive gate with operator | Est. $2,700 to $4,900 per complete system | Est. 1 to 2 days |
| Trackless cantilever gate | Est. $6,200 to $9,800 per complete system | Est. 2 to 4 days |
| Video intercom and keypad entry | Est. $750 to $4,300 per system | Est. 4 to 8 hours |
| Walkway or courtyard entry gate | Est. $650 to $1,450 each | Est. 4 to 8 hours |
Setting a pair between columns is an estimated 2 to 3 days, and a trackless cantilever frame is an estimated 2 to 4 days. A video intercom and keypad at the pedestal is an estimated $750 to $4,300 for about 4 to 8 hours, and a walkway gate beside the columns is an estimated $650 to $1,450. Stone type, column height and the length of the conduit run can change every one of these estimates, and the written quote we draw after the columns are staked sets the final price and the schedule.
The columns and walls carry the gate, so they are sized to the gate before they are built. The table shows what each part does.
| Part | What it does | What to settle first |
|---|---|---|
| Stone or brick columns | Hold the hinge posts and frame the gate | Opening width and leaf weight |
| Wing walls | Close the gap between columns and fence | Fence line and setback |
| Column caps and lights | Give the entry its night look | Power run and conduit path |
| Intercom pedestal | Lets visitors call the house | Sight line and car stopping spot |
Lighting is set in conduit before the masonry goes up, because it is cheap then and costly after. Uplights at the column faces and a downlight over the keypad are the usual pair. Maribel's flat-topped pair in steel with oil-rubbed bronze powder coat was an estimated $6,400 to $7,900 over 2 to 3 days. A plainer pair without masonry costs less: Cole's two 8 ft leaves in satin black were an estimated $4,600 to $6,400, and Anton's 14 ft galvanized pair was an estimated $4,300 to $5,900.
Masonry is heavy, and a column that holds a gate leaf must sit on its own deep footing, tied to the hinge post inside it. Flat entries usually take plain footings, while a lot on limestone ledge needs rock bits. Emmett's footings on the University Club side in Steiner Ranch were rock bored around buried utilities, an estimated $5,100 to $7,000. We bore the footings through the ledge where limestone stops the auger and set the steel hinge post before the stone is laid. A stone column laid first and drilled later cracks, so the order matters.
Sight lines matter at the road. The driver must see traffic from the stopping spot, and tall walls can block the view, so we check the visibility triangle before the walls are drawn.
City rules decide how tall and how close the entry can be, so we check them before the plan is drawn, and you should confirm current text with the city. Lakeway adopted a continuous flat-top rule in 2019, which is why Maribel's pair has a flat top. West Lake Hills code 22.03.173 asks for 80 percent visibility and sets setbacks of 20 ft under 0.75 acre and 30 ft at 0.75 acre or more. Rollingwood Sec. 107-34 asks for 15 ft from the curb. Fences not over 8 ft are exempt from a building permit in Cedar Park, which you should confirm with the city. Association and Village approval come first in The Hills, and part of Shady Hollow falls under the City of Austin and Austin Fire.
Steel carries the weight of an estate pair, and our steel gate material comparison explains galvanizing and powder coat. If the pair is drawn by an architect, our custom driveway gate design page covers the shop drawing.
We coordinate the mason, the electrician and the gate crew on one plan, so the columns are ready when the leaves arrive. In 17 years and over 1,483 projects, the 18-month workmanship warranty has covered welds, hinge set, footings and gate travel on every estate pair.
We build estate entries across a 40-mile radius, with jobs in Lakeway, Leander and Georgetown, and the full list is on our service area page. A pair in Lakeway or Leander is an estimated 2 to 3 days to set, and a single leaf in Georgetown or Round Rock is an estimated 1 to 2 days. Cantilever frames in Steiner Ranch and Volente run an estimated 2 to 4 days. In West Lake Hills and Rollingwood the setback and sight line are checked before the plan is final, and Shady Hollow and The Hills need fire and association sign-off ahead of any steel order. Renata's arched pair in West Lake Hills, a 14 ft opening, was an estimated $5,600 to $7,600. Sunita's stone column on the Lake Austin side of Steiner Ranch carries a stainless video intercom with 12 timed codes. Ravi's 48 in by 108 in pivot door on Hatley Drive in Rollingwood shows the same steel work at the front door, an estimated $8,800 to $13,500. Bianca's Camp Craft Road front yard in West Lake Hills got 180 lf of 5 ft panels racked with the grade, an estimated $11,200 to $14,800. Ignacio kept the masonry columns at Ranch at Brushy Creek and replaced a warped 12 ft cedar gate with a steel leaf, an estimated $2,800 to $4,000. Paige's 42 in arched walk gate in a stone wall at Hills of Lakeway was an estimated $800 to $1,300. Yvonne's 20 ft charcoal cantilever on Lime Creek Road in Volente is the answer when a lake lot's drive will not take a swing pair. Shirin's Westlake Drive gate and fence date from the 1970s and kept their cast scrolls through a new powder coat.
An estate entry often pairs with gate access control and intercoms for visitors, a solar gate operator where power is far away, or operator retrofits with photo eyes for a gate you already own.
The gate pair is an estimated $4,200 to $7,800, and your written quote carries the final price including columns and lighting.
An estate pair is an estimated 2 to 3 days on site, once the columns are cured.
No, we plan the opening and the hinge posts first so the columns match the leaf.
Yes, if each column sits on its own deep footing with a steel hinge post tied inside it.
It depends on the city and the height, so confirm current text with the city before we draw the plan.
Yes, but running conduit is cheaper before the masonry goes up, and an intercom and keypad at the pedestal is an estimated $750 to $4,300.

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.
