Our team provides measured templates and tested hardware, delivering matched work for homes and clean paperwork for both residential and commercial projects. A repaired leaf and a 70 ft pool fence both count among the over 1,187 projects we have done in 12 years in business, and a 2-year workmanship warranty covers each.
From taking the old gate's measurements to testing the latch at handover, our team handles every detail. Serving Shady Hollow and nearby Barton Creek, The Hills and Lakeway, we begin by measuring what is already there.

Ximena, backyard pool near The Park on Doe Run, Shady Hollow
A new pool needed a barrier, and the deed rules there call for pool gates that close on their own.
Jodi, home near Slaughter Creek, Shady Hollow
A leaf had sagged until it dragged, and the strain had burned out the old operator.
Neil, corner lot near Bailey Middle School, Shady Hollow
A corner lot had a sloped apron, buried lines and a covenant that sets a minimum for picket fencing.

The short version
Ximena wanted a pool fence with a gate that shuts itself. We built 70 ft of pool fence with a self-closing gate. Ximena's Shady Hollow fence came to an estimated $2,300 to $3,000 over an estimated 1 to 3 days, under our 2-year workmanship warranty on our welds, hinges, footings and operator installation.
Jodi lives near Slaughter Creek and had a gate whose leaf and operator had both failed. We repaired the leaf and the operator on site. Jodi's Shady Hollow repair was an estimated $1,900 to $2,800 over an estimated 4 to 8 hours.
Neil had a sloped apron and a covenant that set a picket minimum. We built a 16 ft dual swing gate that cleared the slope and met the minimum. Neil's Shady Hollow gate was an estimated $4,800 to $6,900 over an estimated 2 to 3 days.
In the Estates of Shady Hollow, a replacement of the same size and material needs no approval. That makes measure-and-match the shortest route: we record the old gate's width, height, picket pattern and finish, then build its twin. New frames for a Shady Hollow replacement use 14-gauge tube for standard leaves, 11-gauge to 3/16 in where a long or tall leaf has to hold its line.
When the new gate or fence differs in size or material, the Estates require written committee approval and an Architectural Improvement Permit. We prepare the drawing so the committee sees the height, the style and the finish on one sheet. The topcoat on Neil's pair, as on every new drawing, is TGIC polyester powder coat at 3 to 5 mils, oven cured, picked from physical samples.
The Shady Hollow covenants set a picket minimum and bar a chain-link perimeter. Neil's gate was built to that minimum. Picket spacing on a Shady Hollow run follows our 3.5 to 3.875 in spec, and 1.5 to 2 in puppy pickets are on request. Flat-top rails and brown or bronze finishes are stocked for neighborhoods whose design rules bar spear points or black, so a Shady Hollow committee drawing can show either.
A Shady Hollow pool fence goes on the plat, and its gate must close automatically. The homeowner answers for the self-closing latch, so we test it before we leave. Ximena's fence was built that way. Budget an estimated $30 to $45 per linear foot for a plat-marked pool fence, with an estimated 1 to 3 days on a Shady Hollow run.
Lots near Slaughter Creek often slope toward the street, and a swing leaf on a slope needs room. Before any leaf is drawn, grade is shot across the full swing or slide path, and bottom rail clearance is set from that measurement. That is how Neil's 16 ft dual swing cleared its apron, and the hinges are ball-bearing pairs rated from 500 to more than 1,500 lbs, matched to the weight of the finished leaf.
A Shady Hollow gate that moves under power has to stop safely. A powered gate like Jodi's carries monitored photo eyes and edge sensors, each one reverse tested at handover. Jodi's repair was matched to the same standard of 24V DC brushless motors with battery backup, sized to leaf weight, length and duty cycle.

Neil's dual swing, an estimated $4,800 to $6,900, sits inside the dual swing row. Every figure here is an estimate for Shady Hollow and is subject to change. Your old gate's measurements, any committee paperwork and the hardware then decide the price and schedule on a written quote.
Shady Hollow owners usually choose dual swing gates for a wide drive, pool fencing for the backyard, and gate opener repair when an old operator fails.
Our Shady Hollow location manager covers Shady Hollow, The Hills and Barton Creek, and measures the existing gate on each lot before a template is cut. To match an older Shady Hollow gate, the finish still starts at the base: G90 hot-dip galvanizing or a zinc-phosphate and e-coat base goes on before any color. 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, and that holds on the streets by The Park on Doe Run and Bailey Middle School too.
Shady Hollow sits roughly 39 minutes and 30 miles from our shop, well inside our 35 mile service radius. The same location manager covers Barton Creek and The Hills, and our gate service area map names the rest.
