Custom automatic gate installation for Lakeway's lakefront estates, Rough Hollow homes, and gated communities. Corrosion-resistant materials and smart access control, engineered for the humidity, terrain, and estate-scale driveways of the Lake Travis area.
A custom gate installation in Lakeway costs between $5,000 and $14,000 depending on material and access control features — with hot-dip galvanized steel or aluminum recommended for any property within the Lake Travis humidity zone.
The owner-led Austin Estate Gate team has designed and installed corrosion-resistant gate systems for Lakeway's lakefront estates, Rough Hollow properties, and gated communities for over 17 years, with smart access control engineered for the humidity, terrain, and estate-scale driveways that define this market.
You just finished the new build in Rough Hollow and the builder installed a basic gate with a clicker remote. Six months later the iron is already rusting, the remote range barely reaches the street, and guests have to call you to get in. We replace builder-grade installations with systems designed to last in Lakeway's environment.
Lakeway homes range from Rough Hollow estates to homes along Flintrock Road and the shores of Lake Travis. Gate designs should account for:

We answer the phone. We survey your property and recommend the right gate, operator, and finish — then build it to last.
Many Lakeway properties have gates positioned far from the home. Solar-powered gate openers eliminate the need for trenching electrical lines across the property.
Solar includes: panel, charge controller, battery backup, and compatible operator. The system operates day and night with battery reserve for cloudy periods. Need a custom gate in Lakeway? Call (512) 296-2671 to schedule a consultation.
We install and service the same professional-grade automation used across Lakeway's estates — not the builder-grade openers that fail within a year. Brand selection depends on your gate weight, driveway length, and access needs:
Not sure which fits your property? We recommend the operator on the site survey, based on your gate and how you actually use it — never a one-size-fits-all package.

Typical Lakeway residential installation timeline:
For properties with stone columns, masonry work may add 2-3 days to the on-site timeline. We coordinate directly with your masonry contractor when needed.
Already have a gate that needs service instead? We also handle gate repair in Lakeway.
Most Lakeway gate installations take 1–2 days on-site once your gate is fabricated. The full timeline runs about 4–7 weeks: 1–2 weeks for consultation and design, 2–4 weeks for custom fabrication, then 1–2 days to install and program. Stone-column masonry can add 2–3 days.
Proximity to Lake Travis means higher humidity, which corrodes builder-grade iron quickly. We prevent it with powder coating, hot-dip galvanizing (recommended for lakefront lots), naturally rust-proof aluminum, and marine-grade stainless hardware — the finishes that hold up in this environment.
It depends on your driveway. Wide, flat estate approaches usually suit dual swing gates; steep or sloped driveways — common off Flintrock Road and in Rough Hollow — often call for a cantilever slide gate. We recommend the right setup during the on-site survey.
Yes. Many Lakeway gates sit far from the house, so we install solar-powered openers — panel, charge controller, battery backup, and operator — which removes the need to trench electrical lines across the property. The system runs day and night with battery reserve for cloudy stretches.

"I had a really great experience with estate gates. They helped me out on a Sunday when my gate would not open — they even let me keep the key. Then they came back and fixed the gate and have always been super accommodating and professional, along with reasonably priced."
"Charles and Mars did excellent work here at Another Closet in Fredericksburg TX. Above and beyond — got my gate working better than before it was broken. Recommend these two 10 out of 10."
"I have worked with Anthony at my properties for years. He has always been flexible and easy to work with. I find him to be trustworthy, dependable, and always delivers on what he says he will do. When I need service he is there within 24 hrs and always honors warranties."
"We had them install a driveway gate at our home — they showed up every day on time, had professional installers who took their time, a salesperson who gave us 5 different options, then did the work on time, on budget. When my own ignorance required help, they showed up the same day, fixed my issue, educated me with patience and professionalism. Highly recommend this team."
"Our gate stopped working during the cold snap. I didn't catch the name of the person who answered the phone — the day before Christmas Eve, no less — but he was super helpful and talked my husband through how we could get the gate open to make it through the long holiday weekend. Thank you for taking the time to help us."
