The short version
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.
Investment and duration figures are estimates. Your written quote sets the final price and schedule.
Blake's greenbelt lot above Lake Austin in Steiner Ranch needed 110 linear ft of 5 ft fence on the rear line, and the rear line had to stay open to the view. We filed the committee package first and stepped galvanized ornamental steel panels with a black powder coat down the Steiner Ranch slope. The job came to an estimated $6,200 to $9,000 and took an estimated 2 to 4 days on site, and it passed Blake's walk-through.
Ornamental steel suits most Round Rock yards, hand-forged iron suits a front elevation that wants scrollwork, and aluminum suits a pool line or a fence that must never rust.
| Material | Est. price per linear foot | Upkeep |
|---|---|---|
| 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 |
| Extruded aluminum | Est. $25 to $75 | Lifespan of 30 to 50 years |
A wrought iron fence is typically an estimated $50 to $85 per linear foot in ornamental steel or $85 to $130 in hand-forged iron, and the material, the slope and the gate count move the total most. Blake's 110 linear ft in Steiner Ranch landed at an estimated $6,200 to $9,000, while a Cedar Park ornamental run on flat ground sits near the bottom of that per-foot range.
Tubular steel panels 4 to 6 ft tall, galvanized and powder coated, set on poured posts.
Solid bar and forged parts built to a drawing, for a front line that has to carry the house.
A manual walk gate matched to the fence or the driveway leaves, with a latch set at your hand height.

| Job type | Est. investment | Est. duration on site |
|---|---|---|
| Ornamental steel fence | Est. $50 to $85 per linear foot | Est. 2 to 4 days |
| Hand-forged wrought iron fence | Est. $85 to $130 per linear foot | Est. 3 to 6 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 the Historic Overlay near Old Town needs a Certificate of Appropriateness, and a street-facing fence over 4 ft near Old Settlers Park or La Frontera falls under the 2016 ordinance. Steiner Ranch lets greenbelt lots use wrought iron on the rear line only without committee approval, and allows no gate between a unit and open space, as Blake's lot above Lake Austin showed. A Lakeway run must finish in a continuous flat top, because spiked and open-picket fencing has been banned there since 2019, and our flat-top rails and brown or bronze finishes stay stocked for any neighborhood whose design rules bar spear points or black. Georgetown requires a fence permit under UDC 8.07 along Williams Drive and across the rest of the city, and Cedar Park under Sec 14.07.007 requires none but sets a 3 ft front setback along New Hope Drive.
We survey the line, 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 rack each panel to the grade, since panels adjust 24 to 36 in over an 8 ft run on a Leander hillside.
A fence and its gate should match in steel, coat and picket spacing, so a pedestrian gate on a Round Rock or Georgetown run is built from the same stock. See our wrought iron gates or pedestrian entry gates for Cedar Park walk-through openings, and we check the Balcones Escarpment soil at every post.
Every fence, Blake's Steiner Ranch run included, is covered by our 2-year workmanship warranty on our welds, hinges, footings and operator installation. On a line with an automated gate, the operator maker answers for motors and control electronics, typically 1 to 5 years on parts depending on the model, and on an aluminum run the panel maker's limited lifetime coverage takes in structure and finish.
We build iron fences across the north and west sides of the Austin metro, with most runs in Steiner Ranch, Lakeway and Georgetown, plus Cedar Park and the other cities on our service area page.
Many fence buyers also look at pool safety fencing, security fencing for a larger property, or custom driveway gates to close the drive in Cedar Park or Leander.
Ornamental steel is typically an estimated $50 to $85 per linear foot and hand-forged iron an estimated $85 to $130, and Blake's Steiner Ranch run came to an estimated $6,200 to $9,000.
An ornamental steel fence takes an estimated 2 to 4 days on site, and hand-forged iron takes an estimated 3 to 6 days.
Round Rock needs no residential fence permit, Georgetown does require one, and Leander wants one over 7 ft.
Yes, panels adjust 24 to 36 in over an 8 ft run, so Blake's Steiner Ranch fence stepped down the grade.
Ornamental steel gets G90 hot-dip galvanizing or a zinc-phosphate and e-coat base before a TGIC polyester powder coat at 3 to 5 mils, oven cured, while forged iron gets a repaint every 3 to 5 years.
Our 2-year workmanship warranty covers our welds, hinges, footings and operator installation on every fence.

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.
