Our team provides material samples and tested hardware, delivering gates that pass review for homes and for both residential and commercial projects. A pedestrian gate and a bronze arched pair like Nadia's both count among over 1,187 projects from our 12 years in business, and a 2-year workmanship warranty stands behind each.
From reading a recorded guideline to matching a finish sample, our team handles every detail. Serving Barton Creek and neighboring West Lake Hills, Lakeway and Steiner Ranch, we start with one question: which section does the lot sit in.

Nadia, estate lot off Barton Creek Boulevard, Barton Creek
The architectural review committee wanted the arch to stay low and the finish to read brown.
Claudia, stone home off Barton Creek Boulevard, Barton Creek
A dark wood door had faded on a west-facing entry, and the owner wanted more light in the foyer.

The short version
Nadia wanted an arched pair with a bronze finish that the review committee would accept. We built the arched dual swing gates in iron, took the drawing through the ARC and finished the leaves in bronze. Nadia's Barton Creek pair came to an estimated $6,200 to $8,000 over an estimated 2 to 3 days, under our 2-year workmanship warranty on our welds, hinges, footings and operator installation.
Claudia wanted an iron entry door for her Barton Creek home, with scrollwork that matched the fence outside. We fabricated the door in the shop, hung it in one visit and finished it to match. Claudia's door was an estimated $7,500 to $12,500 over an estimated 1 to 2 days.
In the Estates of Barton Creek, all fence materials, colour, design and size go to the ARC under the Architectural Guidelines dated 4/14/16, item 16. A fence must be 6 ft and may reach 8 ft. We prepare the drawing so the ARC sees material, colour, design and size on one sheet, and the finish is TGIC polyester powder coat at 3 to 5 mils, oven cured, picked from physical samples.
The Estates guideline allows no new wood fences, so a Barton Creek owner who wants a new fence builds it in iron. Existing wood may be repaired but not rebuilt, which means a rotted section can be fixed in place while a full replacement has to change material. No chain link or wire is allowed except vinyl-clad court fencing, which must be green or black and screened.
Barton Creek Southwest, Amarra Drive Phase 2, Sec 2.6.13 (recorded December 2013), prohibits front yard walls, fences and gated driveways. A Phase 2 owner therefore does not get a front driveway gate at all, and we say so on the first call. A motorcourt may be gated if its walls do not reach in front of the facade, and the gate there is built to sit behind that line.
Phase 2 fencing is brown or bronze wrought iron style pickets, 6 ft above natural grade. Flat-top rails and brown or bronze finishes are stocked for neighborhoods whose design rules bar spear points or black, so Barton Creek bronze is a stock finish for us. Our picket spec on a run here is 3.5 to 3.875 in between pickets, and 1.5 to 2 in puppy pickets are on request.
On a golf-course lot, fencing stays 50 ft off the facade line. That sets where a Barton Creek fence can start, so we measure from the facade before we mark a post. Grade is shot across the full swing or slide path, and bottom rail clearance is set from that measurement, so a sloped Barton Creek lot is checked before the pickets are cut.
A gated motorcourt in Barton Creek still needs safe operators. A powered estate gate in Barton Creek carries monitored photo eyes and edge sensors, each one tripped at handover to show the gate reverses. Those operators are 24V DC brushless motors with battery backup, sized to leaf weight, length and duty cycle, and hinges are ball-bearing pairs rated from 500 to more than 1,500 lbs, matched to the weight of the finished leaf.
A dual swing gate in Barton Creek is typically estimated at $4,000 to $8,000, and a hand-forged fence is typically estimated at $85 to $130 per linear foot. Barton Creek's median owner-occupied home value is $2,000,000 and above (ACS 2020-2024 5-year, top-coded).

Nadia's arched pair, an estimated $6,200 to $8,000, sits in the upper half of the dual swing row. Every figure here is an estimate for Barton Creek and is subject to change. Section, guideline and opening width decide what can be built here, so the written quote that follows our site visit is where your final price and schedule get fixed.
Barton Creek owners usually choose dual swing gates for a motorcourt, wrought iron fencing in bronze, and an iron entry door to match the fence.
Our Barton Creek location manager covers Barton Creek, West Lake Hills and Lakeway, and reads the guideline on each lot before a post hole is marked. Whatever shade the Barton Creek guideline asks for, G90 hot-dip galvanizing or a zinc-phosphate and e-coat base goes on before any color. Frames use 14-gauge tube for standard leaves, 11-gauge to 3/16 in where a long or tall leaf has to hold its line, and post footings are 24 to 36 in deep and 10 to 12 in wide, poured in 3,000 to 4,000 PSI concrete, checked against the soil found on site.
Barton Creek sits roughly 36 minutes and 23 miles from our shop, well inside our 35 mile service radius, and our crews work the streets by Barton Creek Boulevard and St. Michael's Catholic Preparatory School. Jobs just outside Barton Creek have their own West Lake Hills and Lakeway pages, and our gate service area map shows every other place we build.
Barton Creek jobs often pull in gate operator installation behind a motorcourt, pedestrian entry gates at a side path, or gate replacement when an old leaf has to change.
