Our team provides pool-line layouts around the deck and coping in Lakeway and Steiner Ranch, delivering a barrier that closes on its own for residential and commercial properties. Ximena's 70 linear ft backyard pool and long community pool lines both sit among the over 1,187 projects we have completed in 12 years in business, backed by a 2-year workmanship warranty.
From the footing beside the deck in Cedar Park to the latch test in Georgetown, our team handles every detail. Serving Cedar Park, Georgetown, Round Rock and Leander, we build the barrier around the pool you have and test each latch before we leave.

The short version
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.
Investment and duration figures are estimates. Your written quote sets the final price and schedule.
Ximena's new backyard pool near The Park on Doe Run in Shady Hollow came with deed rules that call for pool gates that close on their own. We set tight powder-coated aluminum pickets around the Shady Hollow deck for Ximena, with a latch above a small child's reach and a self-closing gate on 70 linear ft of 5 ft fence. The job came to an estimated $2,300 to $3,000 and took an estimated 1 to 3 days on site, and the gate swings shut and latches from every open angle.
Aluminum suits most pools in Round Rock and Georgetown, ornamental steel suits a taller barrier on a Lakeway slope, and hand-forged iron suits a front elevation that wants scrollwork.
| Material | Est. price per linear foot | Upkeep |
|---|---|---|
| Extruded aluminum | Est. $25 to $75 | Lifespan of 30 to 50 years |
| Ornamental tubular steel | Est. $50 to $85 | Powder coat, touch up chips |
| Hand-forged wrought iron | Est. $85 to $130 | Rust scrape and repaint with DTM enamel every 3 to 5 years |
A pool safety fence is typically an estimated $30 to $45 per linear foot, and the pool line length, the gate count and the slope move the total most. Ximena's 70 linear ft in Shady Hollow came to an estimated $2,300 to $3,000, while a Round Rock pool beside Brushy Creek with a second gate sits higher in that range.
Aluminum panels with tight pickets, plus a self-closing, self-latching gate quoted on top.
A manual walk gate matched to the fence or the driveway leaves, with a latch set at your hand height.
Tubular steel panels 4 to 6 ft tall, galvanized and powder coated, set on poured posts.

| Pool safety fence | Est. $30 to $45 per linear foot | Est. 1 to 3 days |
| Custom pedestrian entry gate | Est. $600 to $1,500 per gate | Est. 4 to 8 hours |

Round Rock needs no residential fence permit, but pool plans follow the 2024 ISPSC, so we read those plans before we set a barrier near Old Settlers Park or La Frontera, the same as anywhere else in the city. Shady Hollow puts pool fencing on the plat, wants gates that close automatically, and makes the homeowner answer for self-closing latches, while a like-for-like replacement needs no approval and any other change needs written committee approval and an Architectural Improvement Permit. A Georgetown pool line needs a fence permit under UDC 8.07, and so does a repair over a third of the fence. Lakeway asks a permit for new fences under Sec 24.02.442 and requires a continuous flat top, and flat-top rails and brown or bronze finishes are stocked for neighborhoods whose design rules bar spear points or black.
We measure the pool line, mark the posts away from the coping, dig footings 24 to 36 in deep and 10 to 12 in wide, poured in 3,000 to 4,000 PSI concrete, set the posts plumb, and hang the gate so it swings shut and latches from every open angle, which is how Ximena's gate passed the walk-through in Shady Hollow.
A pool fence and its gate should match in picket, coat and spacing, so a gate on a Round Rock or Georgetown pool line is built from the same stock. See our pedestrian entry gates for Cedar Park walk-through openings, or the longer runs on our wrought iron fencing page, and we check the Balcones Escarpment soil at every post.
Every pool fence is covered by our 2-year workmanship warranty on our welds, hinges, footings and operator installation. Any aluminum panels on a pool line keep the maker's limited lifetime coverage on structure and finish, and if the gate has an operator, its maker typically covers motors and control electronics for 1 to 5 years on parts, depending on the model.
We build pool fences across Central Texas, with most work in Georgetown, Cedar Park and Shady Hollow, plus Leander and the other cities on our service area page.
Many pool owners also look at security fencing for a larger lot, iron railings for a deck stair in Cedar Park, or custom driveway gates out front.
A pool safety fence is typically an estimated $30 to $45 per linear foot, and Ximena's 70 linear ft in Shady Hollow came to an estimated $2,300 to $3,000.
Ximena's Shady Hollow fence took an estimated 1 to 3 days on site, and most pool fences fall in that span.

How a job runs
We read the grade, the soil and the swing or slide path before a line is drawn.
You sign off on a scaled drawing, the metal, the finish and the operator before any steel is cut.
Our welders fabricate the gate, then it goes out for its coating before it comes to your property.
We set the posts, hang the leaf, wire the operator and run every photo eye and safety edge in front of you.
