What Our Metal Fabrication Includes
Metal fabrication opens design possibilities that wood and stone alone cannot achieve. Clean-lined steel pergolas, decorative iron entry gates, Corten steel planter walls that develop a rich natural patina, and precision-cut metal edging that creates crisp bed lines — these are the details that set a landscape apart. Our fabrication team works from custom designs, producing one-of-a-kind features sized and styled specifically for your property.
- Ornamental iron and steel fencing in custom patterns and heights
- Automated driveway gates and pedestrian gates with access control
- Corten steel retaining walls and planter boxes with natural weathered patina
- Steel and aluminum pergolas and shade structures
Built to Last in Central Texas Conditions
Metal in an outdoor environment must be properly specified and finished to resist corrosion. We select materials based on their intended application — hot-dipped galvanized steel for structural elements, powder-coated iron for decorative features, marine-grade stainless steel for hardware, and Corten steel where a natural weathering patina is desired. All welds are ground and finished before coating, and every piece receives multi-layer protection against Austin's UV, heat, and moisture.
- Hot-dipped galvanized steel for structural durability
- Powder-coat finishing in custom colors for UV and corrosion resistance
- Corten weathering steel for architectural patina without maintenance
- Marine-grade stainless steel hardware for coastal and pool environments
- All welds ground and finished before protective coating

Our Experience in Dripping Springs
We have completed projects from the estates along Fitzhugh Road to the ranches off Hamilton Pool Road. We understand Hays County permitting, septic system setback requirements, and how to design landscapes that feel natural while providing the refined outdoor living spaces our clients expect.
Dripping Springs sits on the eastern edge of the Edwards Plateau. Soil conditions range from thin rocky topsoil over limestone to deeper clay loams in creek bottoms, requiring site-specific soil strategies for each planting zone. We are familiar with Hays County building codes, permit requirements, and inspection processes. Our team has worked in Dripping Springs neighborhoods for years and understands what designs, materials, and plant species perform best in this specific area.
Metal Fabrication in Dripping Springs — FAQs
We fabricate in mild steel, Corten (weathering) steel, aluminum, and stainless steel. Material selection depends on the application — structural, decorative, or architectural — and the desired finish. We recommend the best material for each project during the design consultation.
Fabrication timelines depend on project complexity and current shop volume. Most residential projects — fences, gates, and edging — take 2 to 4 weeks from design approval to installation. Larger or more complex projects may take longer. We provide a firm timeline at the start of every project.
