Custom gate installations in West Lake Hills range from $6,000 to $18,000+ depending on design complexity, materials, and access control — with Rob Roy and Barton Creek estates typically requiring multi-gate systems with integrated video intercoms. Anthony Bruno and the Austin Estate Gate team have built premium gate systems for Westlake's luxury properties for over 17 years, matching the caliber of the architecture with modern steel, wrought iron, cedar, and privacy panels paired with advanced automation.
Your architect designed a stunning home in Davenport Ranch but the gate is an afterthought — a catalog model that doesn't match the stone columns or the modern roofline. We design and fabricate custom gates that look like they were part of the original plan, not bolted on later.
What Gate Designs Match Westlake Architecture?
Westlake homes represent the best of Austin's residential architecture. Custom driveway gate design must complement the home without competing with it.
Design approaches by home style:
- Contemporary/modern homes: Horizontal steel slats, Corten weathering steel, laser-cut panels, LED lighting integration
- Traditional estates: Wrought iron with arched top, stone or brick pillars, ornamental details
- Hill Country transitional: Cedar and iron, natural stone columns, warm metal finishes
- Mediterranean: Ornamental iron with scroll details, arched entries
- Full privacy: Solid steel or composite panels, height to match perimeter fencing
What Access Control Options Work for Westlake Estates?
Westlake installations typically include advanced access features:
- Video intercom with HD camera — see visitors in real time
- Smartphone app control — open and monitor your gate remotely
- Visitor management — issue temporary codes for housekeepers, landscapers, and guests
- Multi-gate coordination — synchronize front gate, back gate, and pedestrian entry
- Integration with home security — coordinate with cameras, alarms, and smart home systems
- License plate recognition — automatic entry for approved vehicles

Do You Coordinate With Builders and Architects?
Many Westlake gates are installed as part of new construction or major renovation. We work directly with:
- Home builders and general contractors
- Architects and landscape designers
- Stone and masonry teams (for pillar and column work)
- Electrical contractors (for power and low-voltage wiring)
Early coordination ensures the gate system is designed into the project — not added as an afterthought.
What Materials and Finishes Are Available?
Every Westlake gate is finished to estate standards:
- Powder coating: UV-resistant, chip-resistant, available in custom colors
- Hot-dip galvanizing: Maximum corrosion protection under the finish coat
- Custom paint matching: Matched to home trim, fence, or landscape elements
- Natural patina: Corten steel develops a controlled rust finish over time
- Clear coat over raw metal: For industrial/modern aesthetic with protection
