Georgetown Metal Gates is Central Texas's trusted team in acreage entry gates, specializing in automated dual swing gates, ground-track sliding gates, and access control for long drives. We offer galvanized steel fabrication and continuous-duty gate operators to Serenada homes and businesses.
Our team provides field-measured layouts and monitored safety sensors, delivering gates that fit a deep lot for homes and secure entries for both residential and commercial projects. Serenada installs are covered for 3 years on welds, hinge alignment, gate sag and gate travel, and that coverage sits on 11 years in business and over 1,412 projects, with a single walk gate in a stucco wall at one extreme and a 26 ft cantilever across a loading entrance at the other.
From walking a long drive to choosing the keypad or the intercom at the road, our team handles all of it. Serving Serenada, a small unincorporated community, and neighboring Georgetown, Round Rock and Leander, we draw each gate to the width of the opening and the length of the drive.

What you can hold us to
Kasper owns an acre lot in Serenada Country Estates, outside any city, where no city code applies but recorded deed restrictions did. We hung an 18 ft double leaf in galvanized steel with powder coat, an estimated $6,000 to $7,800 project that typically took 2 to 3 days on site. The leaves clear the road apron and park open against the fence.
Lucinda lives off Williams Drive on a long drive where deliveries kept stopping at the gate and the family had to walk down to open it. We kept the gate she owned and fitted new access hardware at the single entry, an estimated $1,500 to $3,400 job that typically took 4 to 7 hours. Deliveries now get in on a code.
Serenada is a Williamson County census-designated place, so no city fence code applies, and the rules come from the lot itself. A local broker describes lots that routinely exceed an acre, generally with no structured HOA or mandatory fees, and recorded deed restrictions that need checking property by property. Your own deed decides it, so we read that before we draw.
The fix is to pull the recorded restrictions for your lot instead of asking an HOA. Kasper's acre lot in Serenada Country Estates is the example: no city rule, one deed restriction, and a gate drawn to fit it.
Williamson County says its Fire Marshal is the authority over unincorporated areas, and the county has a Gated Access Permit whose plans must show the form of energy operation, such as a Knox Box. The page does not say that permit covers a single-family driveway, so ask the Fire Marshal whether it reaches your job before we build.
The western part of Williamson County sits on honeycomb limestone with caves, sinkholes and fissures, so we treat rock and voids as a site check at the post holes.
An automated two-leaf swing entry in Serenada is usually estimated at $4,000 to $8,000, and a long drive adds trenching or a solar operator, so the price moves with the power run. Here are the usual Serenada installs with estimated prices.
| Serenada job | Est. investment | Est. time on site |
|---|---|---|
| Automated two-leaf swing entry | Est. $4,000 to $8,000 for each system | Est. 2 to 3 days |
| Automated track-guided slide gate | Est. $1,500 to $5,000 for each system | Est. 2 to 3 days |
| Operator added to a gate you own | Est. $1,800 to $3,800 for one operator system | Est. 4 to 8 hours |
| Welded ornamental fence | Est. $50 to $85 a linear foot | Est. 2 to 4 days |
| Ornamental walk-through gate | Est. $600 to $1,500 for each gate | Est. 4 to 8 hours |
On a long drive the power run is the big variable, and a solar panel with dual-battery backup where trenching power is not practical keeps the driveway uncut. A single-leaf swing gate with operator is usually estimated at $2,500 to $5,000 and takes 1 to 2 days.
Kasper's double leaf landed in the upper half of the dual swing range, and Lucinda's hardware job landed near the middle of the access control range.
These figures are estimates for Serenada and are subject to change. After the visit to your Serenada lot, the written quote is what sets the price and the schedule.
Most Serenada owners choose automatic driveway gates for a wide opening and gate operator installation for a gate they already own. Ball-bearing barrel hinges sized to the leaf weight carry every Serenada steel gate, which is built in galvanized steel with black powder coat.
The install runs in four steps. First, our estimator walks the drive and measures the opening. Second, you approve the drawing. Third, we build your Serenada leaf in the shop from galvanized steel with a powder coat finish, then set the posts 24 to 36 inches deep in concrete, sized to the soil on the lot. Fourth, we hang the gate in Serenada, mount a 24V DC continuous-duty operator sized to the leaf, and test monitored photo eyes plus edge sensors on every automatic gate, with a reverse test before we go. We book the free Texas811 line marking for your Serenada property before the crew digs.
The crew that measures your drive builds and installs the gate, so the opening we read on day one is the opening the leaves are cut to. Our Serenada location manager also runs our commercial gate schedules, so an acre lot and a loading entrance get the same safety testing.
We work Serenada Country Estates and the streets off Serenada Drive, Azul Court and Williams Drive. Finished jobs in Leander and Round Rock are nearby examples, and the service area page has the full list.
Serenada jobs often pair a new gate with sliding gates for a narrow frontage, or wrought iron fencing along the road.
No, it is unincorporated, so the rules are recorded deed restrictions and the county Fire Marshal, as with Kasper's acre lot; confirm both for your lot.
A dual swing gate typically lands within an estimated $4,000 to $8,000, and measuring the drive comes before the written quote that sets the final price.
The county has a Gated Access Permit, but its page does not say it covers a single-family driveway, so ask the Fire Marshal.
Yes, as with Lucinda's single entry, where new access hardware took an estimated 4 to 7 hours.
A double leaf typically takes an estimated 2 to 3 days on site, and an operator retrofit an estimated 4 to 8 hours.
Yes, our weekly route from Georgetown reaches both.
