Our team provides drawings for a design committee, delivering matched work for homes and clean paperwork for both residential and commercial projects. Long rear-line fences and single walk gates alike sit among the over 1,187 projects we have completed in 12 years in business, and a 2-year workmanship warranty stands behind every one.
From reading the community's fence section to matching a hinge to the existing leaf, our team handles every detail. Serving Steiner Ranch and nearby Lakeway, West Lake Hills and Cedar Park, we build for owners who need a fence that passes the committee on the first try.

Blake, greenbelt lot above Lake Austin, Steiner Ranch
A rear line on the greenbelt had to stay open to the view, and no gate to the open space is allowed.
Stan, lot near Steiner Ranch Elementary, Steiner Ranch
Rust had worked through the bottom rail of a builder gate, though the posts still stood plumb.

The short version
Blake backs onto a greenbelt and wanted iron on the rear line, so we ran 110 ft of wrought iron style fence along it. The job was an estimated $6,200 to $9,000 over an estimated 2 to 4 days, and Blake's rear-line fence keeps the open view that wood slats would have closed.
Stan lives near Steiner Ranch Elementary and had a gate leaf that had rotted past repair. We built a replacement leaf to match the old one and rehung it on the existing posts. Stan's new leaf came to an estimated $3,400 to $4,800 over an estimated 1 to 2 days, under our 2-year workmanship warranty on our welds, hinges, footings and operator installation.
Steiner Ranch backyard fences follow Sec 7.5, and the standard backyard fence is cedar or redwood slat. Iron is the exception, so we confirm which parts of a lot may take it before we draw. A Steiner Ranch owner who wants iron in the yard asks the committee first, and our drawing gives the committee the height, the style and the finish in one sheet.
Wrought iron is allowed along a greenbelt on the rear line only, which is why Blake's fence ran the back of the lot and nowhere else. Gate frames are 14-gauge tube for standard leaves, 11-gauge to 3/16 in where a long or tall leaf has to hold its line, and on a gate or a rear line, picket spacing is 3.5 to 3.875 in by our spec; 1.5 to 2 in puppy pickets on request. An ornamental run is typically estimated at $50 to $85 per linear foot.
A Steiner Ranch fence may not carry a gate that opens onto the greenbelt or open space. A side or back gate therefore opens into the yard or toward the street side, never out to the preserve. We note the swing direction on the drawing and the rear-line fence stays one unbroken run, as Blake's does. A powered gate here runs on 24V DC brushless motors with battery backup, sized to leaf weight, length and duty cycle, with monitored photo eyes and edge sensors that reverse the gate when tripped, every device tested at handover.
The committee handles ornate hardware, and a gate has to match the fence it sits in. That means a Steiner Ranch gate repair copies the old style rather than improving on it. Leaves like Stan's hang on ball-bearing pairs rated from 500 to more than 1,500 lbs, matched to the weight of the finished leaf, and the finish near Canyon Ridge Middle School and Vandegrift High School is picked from physical samples to match the neighbors.
Steiner Ranch sits above Lake Austin, and a view lot is where an open iron rail pays for itself. Our crews work the streets by Steiner Ranch Elementary, Canyon Ridge Middle School and Vandegrift High School, and the topcoat is TGIC polyester powder coat at 3 to 5 mils, oven cured, picked from physical samples. The finish follows one order wherever the lot sits: G90 hot-dip galvanizing or a zinc-phosphate and e-coat base goes on before any color.
A single swing gate in Steiner Ranch is typically estimated at $2,500 to $5,000, and a matching ornamental fence is typically estimated at $50 to $85 per linear foot. Steiner Ranch's median owner-occupied home value is $826,500 (ACS 2020-2024 5-year).

Stan's replacement leaf, an estimated $3,400 to $4,800, sits in the single swing row. Every figure here is an estimate for Steiner Ranch and is subject to change. Fence length, style match and committee paperwork all go onto the written quote after the site visit, and that quote fixes the final price and the schedule for your lot.
Steiner Ranch lots usually choose wrought iron fencing along the rear line, a pedestrian entry gate at a side yard, and gate replacement when a worn leaf has to match its neighbor.
Our Steiner Ranch location manager covers Steiner Ranch, Lakeway and Cedar Park, and reads the committee paperwork on each lot before a post hole is marked. Post footings on a new run like Blake's 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.
Steiner Ranch sits roughly 31 minutes and 18 miles from our shop, well inside our 35 mile service radius. A Steiner Ranch owner can also look at what we built in Lakeway and Cedar Park, with the remaining areas listed on our gate service area map.
