Numbers first
Sofia in Twin Creeks had a flat driveway too short behind the line for any swing leaf to clear a parked truck. We set a 14 ft galvanized leaf on V-track, with the track surface-mounted over a drain slot and a side-mounted pad operator, so the leaf clears the truck bumper and the track stays free of standing water after storms. It was an estimated $2,700 to $4,200 job that took an estimated 2 to 3 days.
Bradley in Silverado was torn between aluminum and steel, and a detention pond kept the ground wet near his posts. We drew the coating and the tube on the estimate for a 14 ft pair of hot-dip galvanized steel under powder coat, which let him choose from a side-by-side sheet, and the pair has kept its finish at the post bases. The job was an estimated $4,400 to $6,000 over an estimated 2 to 3 days.
Patrice at the Ranch at Cypress Creek sat on a board replacing failed entry gates while residents still needed to get out every morning. We changed one lane at a time, added a directory panel on a telephone entry system and wrote a reserve plan for the operators, so one lane stayed open each workday and the board received a written 10-year parts plan. The estimated range was $9,500 to $14,500, and the work took an estimated 4 to 6 days.
Cedar Park is mostly newer subdivisions, with a 2020 population of 77,595, so most of our gates here are a first gate on a recently built home rather than a swap of an old one. The estimated median owner-occupied home value is $513,600 (ACS 2024), and the 183A Toll Road, opened in 2007, put these neighborhoods within easy reach of the shop. Cedar Park sits mostly in Williamson County with a small part in Travis County, so confirm which county line your lot falls on before you plan.
Front-yard rules decide the style more than taste does, so check the front setback rule with the city before you order. Where a city wants an open look out front, an open wrought iron picket or a steel tube with pickets fits and still gives you a gate that locks.

Leaf type, opening width and operator move a Cedar Park gate price more than anything else. The table shows the jobs we quote most often, and every number is an estimated range.
| Job | Est. investment | Est. time on site |
|---|---|---|
| One-leaf swing gate | Est. $2,600 to $4,800 | Est. 1 to 2 days |
| Track slide gate | Est. $1,800 to $4,900 | Est. 2 to 3 days |
| Cantilever slide gate | Est. $6,300 to $9,700 | Est. 2 to 4 days |
| Walk-through gate | Est. $700 to $1,400 | Est. 4 to 8 hours |
| Operator added to a manual gate | Est. $1,850 to $3,600 | Est. 4 to 8 hours |
A two-leaf automated swing entry is an estimated $4,300 to $7,900 and takes an estimated 2 to 3 days. A walk-through entry gate is an estimated $700 to $1,400 over an estimated 4 to 8 hours. A scheduled gate service plan is estimated at $89 to $112 per gate per month, with visits of an estimated 1 to 3 hours. All of these numbers are estimates, subject to change. The written quote sets the final price and the install schedule, and what lands in it depends on the opening width, any posts you already own and the access gear you choose.
Every frame is 11-gauge tube with 14-gauge infill, blasted, shot with zinc primer and finished in polyester powder coat, in that order. Hinges are sealed ball-bearing units, and our shop spec keeps infill gaps under 4 inches wherever a walkway or pool is close. Top profiles run flat, spear, arched or anti-climb rail, and the bottom gap is held to 2 to 4 inches so a dog cannot slip under. For a long driveway, our sliding gate installs and steel gate builds are the usual picks, while the open look many front setbacks call for suits wrought iron gates. An open-view steel fence line beside the drive is estimated at $51 to $84 per linear ft over an estimated 2 to 4 days, and hand-forged iron fence is estimated at $86 to $129 per linear ft over an estimated 3 to 6 days. For a person-sized entry beside the drive, see our pedestrian entry gates.

The most common failure is a gate sized for the opening but not for the driveway behind it, as with Sofia's flat driveway too short behind the line for any swing leaf to clear a parked truck. We mark the arc and the slide tail on the ground at the first visit.
Footings are the second risk. We set belled piers 36 in or deeper, and a heavy leaf on a shallow post will sag within a season. Emergency entry comes next, so we fit a Knox key switch, a siren sensor or a strobe sensor as the fire marshal asks. Grade follows: gentle ground gets racked panels and steep lots get stepped ones. Safety is last: every operator we install gets monitored photo eyes, so a gate that closes on a bumper or a child stops and reverses.
Weld integrity, post plumb, hinge alignment and gate sag are all covered for 2 years under our workmanship warranty. Motors and control boards carry the operator maker's warranty of 1 to 5 years, depending on the model, and the big aluminum panel makers add a limited lifetime warranty on finish and structure. Meet the team that stands behind each gate.

Our crews work Georgetown, Round Rock, Lakeway and Steiner Ranch every week from a 35 mile radius around the Leander shop, including metal gates in Leander, Georgetown, Round Rock and Lakeway, plus Steiner Ranch, Volente and The Hills on our service area page.
Many Cedar Park owners pair a new drive gate with automatic driveway gates, a gate access control panel or gated community entries, and repeat customers book a gate service contract once the gate is hung.

Expect an estimated $1,800 to $4,900 for a track slide gate and an estimated $2,600 to $4,800 for a one-leaf swing, with the final price set in the written quote once we have measured the opening.
A drive gate takes an estimated 1 to 4 days on site, and a walk gate is an estimated 4 to 8 hours.
Check with the city before you order.
Bradley's hot-dip galvanized steel under powder coat has kept its finish in Silverado's wet ground, while wrought iron gives the open look front setbacks often call for.
Yes, adding an operator to a manual gate is an estimated $1,850 to $3,600 and takes an estimated 4 to 8 hours if the posts are plumb.
Battery backup and a manual release come on every operator, and gates too far from a power run get solar sizing.
A 2-year workmanship warranty comes with each gate and covers weld integrity, post plumb, hinge alignment and gate sag.
