Leander Metal Gates is the metro's trusted expert in wrought iron fencing, specializing in custom driveway gates, automatic gate repair, and gate replacement. We offer pedestrian entry gates and iron railings, including a hand-forged iron fence built in our own shop for each lot.
Our team provides gate access control and gate operator installation, delivering footings, operators and finishes for both residential and commercial projects. A 2-year workmanship warranty on weld integrity, post plumb, hinge alignment and gate sag covers all 1,127 of our completed projects over 14 years in business, from one walk gate to a multi-lane community entry.
From a walk-through entry gate to an open-view steel fence line, our team handles every detail. Serving Rollingwood and neighboring West Lake Hills, Sunset Valley and Lakeway, we draw each run to the lot's real fall.

Numbers first
Deborah on Rollingwood Drive had a creek-side fence line where rock sat a foot below the grass and the lot fell away toward the water. We core-drilled posts in the ledge and stepped welded steel panels with flat top rail down the fall, 170 linear ft at 5 ft high, an estimated $10,800 to $14,100 job that typically took 2 to 4 days.
Owen on Hatley Drive had a leaf that sagged until it dragged the drive and tripped the operator halfway open. We rehung it on sealed hinges, added a diagonal brace and reset the travel limits, an estimated $1,850 to $2,600 job with an estimated install of 4 to 8 hours.
Rollingwood is a small city in Travis County, incorporated in 1963, with about 1,467 people on 0.70 square miles, so lots are close and every fence line is seen from the street. A front-yard fence here has a history, since the city once ran a moratorium on them, so ask the city what applies to your address before you plan a front run.
Permits are the second check. Fence work here can need a permit, and a tall run can need an engineer's stamp, so check with the city whether your height needs either, and we will draw to the answer.
Rock is the third pattern. Ledge sits just under the lawn on many lots, so posts are core-drilled into it and panels step down the fall, which keeps the top line reading level from the street.
An open-view steel fence line in Rollingwood is estimated at roughly $51 to $84 per linear foot, and the height, the fall of the lot and the rock under the posts move the price most.
| Rollingwood job | Est. investment | Est. time on site |
|---|---|---|
| Open-view steel fence line | Est. $51 to $84 per linear foot | Est. 2 to 4 days |
| One-leaf automated swing gate | Est. $2,600 to $4,800 per complete system | Est. 1 to 2 days |
| Walk-through entry gate | Est. $700 to $1,400 per gate installed | Est. 4 to 8 hours |
| Operator added to a manual gate | Est. $1,850 to $3,600 per operator | Est. 4 to 8 hours |
| Hand-forged iron fence | Est. $86 to $129 per linear foot | Est. 2 to 4 days |
Rock typically pushes a fence toward the top of its range because footings are belled concrete piers 36 inches or deeper, with depth and rebar decided by what the auger hits at each post.
Treat every Rollingwood price here as an estimate that is subject to change, because the written quote you get once we have visited sets the final price and the install schedule.
Most owners start with wrought iron fencing for the frontage and automatic driveway gates for the drive, with powder-coated tube steel as the frame behind both. Each frame is blasted, primed in zinc and finished with polyester powder cured in the oven, and touch-up kits stay on site for any later scratches.
The process runs in four steps. First, we walk the frontage, probe for ledge and measure the fall, then set the clearance from the high point of the drive arc, usually 2 to 4 inches. Second, you approve a scaled drawing and confirm the permit with the city. Third, we fabricate the panels in our shop and core-drill the posts. Fourth, our crew sets the run and hangs the gate, then tests the operator, with its monitored photo eyes and edges wired for each entrapment zone, at handover.
The same crew that probes a Rollingwood lot builds the fence, so the stepped panels match the ledge the drawing found. Our Rollingwood location manager books the permit check alongside the install date. Every gate carries a 2-year workmanship warranty covering weld integrity, post plumb, hinge alignment and gate sag, and the operator carries its maker's own warranty.
We work across Rollingwood, and our crews cross into West Lake Hills estates, Sunset Valley properties and Lakeway homes the same week. Every other city we serve is on the gate service area page.
Rollingwood owners often pair a new run with gate replacement for a worn leaf, or add a pedestrian entry gate for the front walk.
Expect roughly $51 to $84 per linear foot as an estimate for an open-view Rollingwood fence, with the final price set by your written quote after we probe the ledge.
