Leander Metal Gates is the metro's trusted expert in metal gate installation, specializing in wrought iron fencing, dual swing gates, and sliding gates. We offer custom driveway gates, steel gates, and security gates.
Our team provides measuring at your property and fabrication in our own shop, so a Pflugerville homeowner gets welded steel panels cut to the lot and a business gets a heavy-duty leaf, residential and commercial alike. Our 14 years in business and 2-year workmanship warranty stand behind over 1,127 projects, and they range from a 42 inch walk gate up to a 28 ft cantilever slide.
From post spacing to the last latch adjustment, our team handles the install start to finish. Serving Pflugerville and neighboring Round Rock, Georgetown, Leander and Cedar Park from the north side of the metro, we keep the crew that measured your lot on the job to the last hinge.
Call today for a free estimate, and we will read the grade of your lot before a single panel is ordered.

Numbers first
Dorian on Weiss Lane had a back fence line on a mown slope that falls gently toward an open field, so flat panels would have stepped and left gaps. We hung welded steel panels racked to the grade, 120 linear ft at 5 ft high, and called in an 811 ticket before any post hole was dug. It was an estimated $7,600 to $10,000 job that took an estimated 2 to 4 days, and the top rail follows the ground in one clean line.
A gentle slope calls for racked panels, so we measure the fall first. Pflugerville sits on Blackland Prairie clay, and the USDA puts the local Houston Black soil on slopes of 0 to 8 percent, mainly 1 to 3 percent. That is ground that falls a little, not a lot, and Weiss Lane and Springbrook are places where a long run of fence meets that kind of grade.
Racked panels keep the top rail parallel to the slope, while flat panels step at each post and leave a gap under the high end, the exact problem Dorian had on Weiss Lane. We read the rise at each post before we order.
A run inside a mapped floodplain is a question for the city, so check with Pflugerville before you order. The city's Flood Damage Prevention Ordinance defines development to include excavation or drilling operations, along with filling and grading. Fences are not named in that wording, so we do not guess, and we ask the city how it treats a fence run in the mapped floodplain before the footing plan is final.
Fence height, front-yard limits and corner lots are the same: check with the city, because the city sets those rules.
Call 811 before any post hole, because a fence line is a row of holes and each one can meet a buried line. The state sets a notice window ahead of any dig and skips weekends and legal holidays, so the call goes in as soon as the install date is set and a holiday week can push the post-hole date later. Dorian's ticket on Weiss Lane went in first, and the marks were on the grass before the crew arrived.

A racked ornamental fence like Dorian's, 120 linear ft at 5 ft high, typically runs $7,600 to $10,000 over roughly 2 to 4 days. These are estimates that change with the grade and the post count, and the written quote fixes the final price and the install schedule.
Every frame starts as 11-gauge frame tube with 14-gauge infill, then is blasted, primed in zinc and finished in polyester powder. For a sloped side yard, wrought iron fencing in welded panels is the usual pick in Pflugerville, while the driveway gets dual swing gates or a track slide. A hand-forged iron fence is typically $86 to $129 per linear ft, and an open-view steel fence line is roughly $51 to $84 per linear ft. A person-sized entry beside the drive is on our pedestrian entry gates page.
The most common failure in Pflugerville is flat panels on a sloped yard, which step at every post and leave gaps, and racked panels fix that. Footings are the second risk, since a heavy leaf on a shallow post will sag within a season. Buried lines come next, which is why the 811 call comes first. The last risk is guessing at the floodplain: the city's ordinance counts excavation and drilling as development and does not name fences, so we ask the city before the footing plan is final, as on Weiss Lane.

Yes, welded panels racked to the grade follow a gentle slope in one clean line, as on Dorian's 120 linear ft run, an estimated $7,600 to $10,000 over roughly 2 to 4 days.
Early enough that the marks are fresh when the augers arrive, which in practice means we file it the day the install date is set.
On site, expect an estimated 1 to 4 days for a drive gate and an estimated 4 to 8 hours for a walk gate.
