Call today for a free estimate, and we will measure your Leander opening before a single tube is cut.
Our team provides on-site measuring and shop fabrication, delivering welded steel leaves for homes and high-duty operators for both residential and commercial projects. Fourteen years in business and a 2-year workmanship warranty stand behind more than 1,127 finished projects, which run from a 42 inch walk gate to a 28 ft opening for a loaded truck yard.
From the first measurement to the handover test, our team handles every detail. Serving Leander and neighboring Georgetown, Cedar Park, Lakeway and Round Rock, the crew that measured your opening is the same crew that hangs and wires the gate.

Marlene in Crystal Falls had a family whose driveway met a busy loop road and whose kids kept chasing balls toward the curb. We built powder-coated tube steel, a 15 ft single leaf on a corner lot, swinging inward on a linear operator with a vehicle loop and a car-height keypad. The drive stays shut during play, and the car opens it without anyone leaving the seat, for an estimated $3,000 to $4,200 over an estimated 1 to 2 days.
Lindsey in Travisso had a drive climbing away from the street, so a normal leaf would strike the slab halfway through its arc. We made powder-coated tube steel, a 16 ft pair on a sloped drive, on rise-and-run hinges, and both leaves clear the slab and meet flush at the center stop, at an estimated range of $4,500 to $6,300 over an estimated 2 to 3 days.
Anders in Rough Hollow brought a photo of a Hill Country gate and wanted the pattern drawn from the live oaks on the lot. We drew tube steel with laser-cut oak leaf panels, an 18 ft pair with arched top, and reviewed the scaled drawing twice before any steel was ordered. The HOA approved the first submittal, and the job was an estimated $5,800 to $7,700 over an estimated 2 to 3 days.
Grant in Bryson had a new pool, toddlers visiting and a builder's wood fence that could not serve as the barrier. We installed black powder-coated aluminum, 88 linear ft at 48 inches, with a separate inner barrier and a self-closing, self-latching gate swinging away from the water, passing inspection at an estimated $2,900 to $3,800 over an estimated 1 to 2 days.
Leander is a newer city, with about 85% of homes built in 2000 or later, a 2020 population of 59,202 and an estimated 74,067 residents today. Most of our work here is a first gate on a recently built home in a master-planned subdivision, plus acreage entries west of US 183. The city straddles Williamson and Travis Counties, so we confirm the county line on the plat before we draw. The estimated median owner-occupied home value is $506,200 (ACS), and the Capital MetroRail Red Line ends here on US 183.
Hillside lots in Crystal Falls and Travisso mean stepped sections more often than racked panels. Ask the Fire Marshal's Office about a Knox key switch before the drawing is signed, because the city's ordinance lists gates as barriers.
Numbers first
Frames are tube steel, blasted, primed and powder coated, with top profiles that run flat, spear, arched or anti-climb rail, chosen against the HOA book and the security goal. For a driveway, see our automatic driveway gates and sliding gates, for a pool or yard our steel fencing, and for a wide estate entry our ranch entry gates.
First comes the opening itself: a leaf that is sized for the opening but not the drive behind it will strike the slab. Racked panels on gentle ground and stepped sections on steep lots, with rise-and-run hinges for a drive that climbs, solve the grade. Clearance set from the high point of the drive arc, usually 2 to 4 inches, so a crowned slab never drags the leaf, solves the bottom edge.
Safety closes the list: our shop spec keeps openings under 4 inches on anything near a pool or a walkway, drawn and measured before the coat goes on. A Knox key switch, siren sensor or strobe goes in as the local fire marshal asks, confirmed before the drawing is signed.
Our 2-year workmanship warranty covers weld integrity, post plumb, hinge alignment and gate sag. Depending on the model, the operator maker warrants the motor and control board for 1 to 5 years, and the big aluminum panel makers give a limited lifetime warranty on finish and structure.
Our crews cover a 35 mile radius around the shop, including Cedar Park, Georgetown and Round Rock, plus Lakeway and Steiner Ranch on our service area page.
Many owners pair a new entry with gate access control, solar gate operators or gate operator installation, and a gate service contract keeps the hardware serviced.

Where we work
The order of work
We tape the opening, shoot the slope and check the HOA or town rules before anyone prices steel.
You sign one scaled sheet listing frame size, coating and operator, and that sheet doubles as your review board packet.
Frames are welded in the shop and coated before delivery, so no grinding or spray paint happens on your drive.
Footings cure, then the leaf is hung and wired, and we run each safety device with you standing there.
