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 Process in Westlake Hills

From your first call to your finished outdoor space — our process is simple, transparent, and designed around you.

We discuss your vision, take measurements, and evaluate the installation site. For gates, we assess driveway slope, clearance, and automation requirements. For fencing, we review property lines and any HOA guidelines.

Custom Design & Shop Drawings

Our team produces detailed shop drawings showing dimensions, materials, connection details, and finish specifications. You approve the design before fabrication begins.

Our Experience in Westlake Hills

From the winding streets off Westlake Drive to the hillside estates above Redbud Trail, we have completed dozens of projects in Westlake Hills. We know where the caliche sits close to the surface, which slopes require engineered retaining walls, and how to design irrigation that respects the community's water-use standards.

Westlake Hills lots frequently sit on shallow limestone and caliche subsoil, requiring specialized excavation techniques for post holes, drainage lines, and planting beds. We are familiar with Travis County building codes, permit requirements, and inspection processes. Our team has worked in Westlake Hills neighborhoods for years and understands what designs, materials, and plant species perform best in this specific area.

Metal Fabrication in Westlake Hills — 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.
