Georgetown Metal Gates is Central Texas's trusted expert in driveway gates, specializing in galvanized swing gates, iron staircases, and powder-coated steel fences. We offer restriction-checked drawings and sectional deliveries of steel finished in a multi-stage wash, zinc-phosphate primer and electrostatic polyester powder coat, 3 to 5 mils thick.
Our team provides field-measured drawings, delivering gates for homes and secure drives for both residential and commercial projects. Over 1,412 projects in 11 years have taught us what lasts, from the smallest, a single walk gate in a stucco wall, to the largest, a 26 ft cantilever across a loading entrance, and Lost Creek installs get 3 years of workmanship warranty for welds, hinge alignment, gate sag and gate travel.
From the first plat check to the final operator test, our team handles the job from start to finish. Serving Lost Creek off Lost Creek Boulevard and neighboring West Lake Hills, Sunset Valley and Rollingwood, we pull the rules for your section before we draw a leaf.

What you can hold us to
Ulysses has a lot off Lost Creek Boulevard and was not sure which office to ask or which deed restriction applied. We built a 12 ft double leaf in galvanized steel with a weathered-brown powder coat, drawn after the section's restrictions were pulled and checked, an estimated $4,200 to $5,800 project that typically took 2 to 3 days on site. Ulysses' galvanized steel gate was drawn to the right restrictions the first time.
Valentina lives off Lost Creek Boulevard too and had a deck that needed a second exit without taking up yard space. We delivered a 9 ft rise straight stair with a landing in powder-coated steel, run along the wall and delivered in sections, an estimated $2,800 to $5,200 job that typically took 2 to 4 days. Valentina's powder-coated steel stair hugs the wall and saves the yard.
The first question on a Lost Creek job is which office applies, and the answer is worth confirming before anything is filed. A tracker of the Austin City Council record reports that the council voted 9-0 on August 29, 2024 to disannex about 738 acres in the Lost Creek Limited District, in Travis County, so check with the county and the city before you submit anything. That is why Ulysses' job off Lost Creek Boulevard started with a question, not a permit form.
For Ulysses' 12 ft double leaf, that meant asking before drawing, not after.
A news report says the Lost Creek Limited District was created by a May 2013 election with a purpose that includes continuing to enforce deed restrictions. A local broker adds that homeowner association status varies by subdivision or section on half-acre and larger parcels, so check it for your lot. The job for you is plain: pull the restrictions for your section, because one answer does not fit all of Lost Creek. Look for any fence height limit in that same document.
A 2012 Travis County order of vacation covers two public utility easements, each 7.5 feet wide, along the rear and west lot lines of one lot in The Hills of Lost Creek Section Two. It is one lot only, and we do not generalize the width to yours, though a spiral staircase or a hand-wrought forged iron fence near a rear line faces the same plat question.
For a fence or a gate pier near a rear lot line, we draw the post line after the plat is read, and we draw a welded ornamental fence or an aluminum pool fence only where the plat allows.
An automated two-leaf swing entry in Lost Creek is generally estimated at $4,000 to $8,000, and Ulysses' galvanized pair sat in the lower half of that range. The table lists the jobs we set most often in Lost Creek, from an ornamental walk-through gate to a spiral staircase, all estimates.
| Lost Creek job | Est. investment | Est. time on site |
|---|---|---|
| Single-leaf swing gate with operator | Est. $2,500 to $5,000 for each system | Est. 1 to 2 days |
| Automated two-leaf swing entry | Est. $4,000 to $8,000 for each system | Est. 2 to 3 days |
| Spiral staircase | Est. $2,800 to $5,200 per staircase | Est. 2 to 4 days |
| Hand-wrought forged iron fence | Est. $85 to $130 a linear foot | Est. 3 to 6 days |
| Ornamental walk-through gate | Est. $600 to $1,500 for each gate | Est. 4 to 8 hours |
Valentina's 9 ft rise straight stair came in at an estimated $2,800 to $5,200, the same figure we quote for a spiral at that rise, and a rear-yard run of hand-wrought forged iron fence is estimated at $85 to $130 a linear foot.
These figures are estimates for Lost Creek and are subject to change. After the site visit, the written quote gives the final price and the schedule, and the work comes with a workmanship warranty of 3 years on welds, hinge alignment, gate sag and gate travel.
Most Lost Creek owners choose steel gates for the drive and iron staircases for decks and hillside steps. Pickets are 16-gauge, rails 14-gauge and posts 11-gauge to 3/16-inch on everything we fabricate, and each gate is galvanized and finished in electrostatic polyester powder coat, then hung on ball-bearing barrel hinges sized to the leaf weight. We use G90 hot-dip galvanized tube on posts and hollow rails so rust cannot start from the inside, and rackable panels follow a slope; steps are used where the grade is too steep to rack.
The install runs in four steps, and the crew works from a drawing that already carries your section's restrictions, whether the job is Ulysses' 12 ft double leaf or a stair or balcony rail in iron. First our estimator walks the lot for a 12 ft double leaf or a 9 ft rise stair, then you approve the drawing. Third, after free Texas811 marking, we fabricate in our shop with posts set 24 to 36 inches deep in concrete, sized to the soil on the lot. Fourth, the crew hangs the gate or sets the stair, mounts 24V DC continuous-duty operators sized to the leaf, and runs monitored photo eyes plus edge sensors on every automatic gate through a reverse test before we leave.
The crew that pulls your restrictions builds and installs the gate, so the drawing that passed the check is the gate you get, a habit from 11 years and 1,412 projects. We fit gate catchers and positive travel stops on every swing and slide leaf, and a solar panel with dual-battery backup is an option where trenching power is not practical. Our Georgetown shop sits inside a 45 mile service radius of Lost Creek, and our 1,412 finished projects include a Cedar Park cantilever and a Round Rock fence run.
We work the streets around Lost Creek Boulevard, Loop 360, Barton Creek Country Club and The Hills of Lost Creek. Neighbors can see our work in West Lake Hills and Sunset Valley, and the full list sits on our service area page.
Lost Creek jobs often pair a new leaf with gate access control at the drive, or security fencing along a rear line.
Ask the county and the city, because the 2024 disannexment vote makes the answer worth confirming; we ask which office applies before we draw.
They can, and they differ by section, so we pull the restrictions for your section first, as we did for Ulysses.
Pull the restrictions for your section first, since they differ across Lost Creek; we draw to the limit they set.
For a single swing gate, the typical estimate is $2,500 to $5,000, and we set the final price in the written quote after measuring the drive.
Plan on an estimated 1 to 2 days on site for one leaf, 2 to 3 days for a pair and an estimated 2 to 4 days for a steel stair.
Yes, both sit on our weekly route west and south of Austin.
