About Fencing in Lakeway
Lakeway sits about 25 miles west of downtown Austin along FM 620 on the south shore of Lake Travis, a village-status city built on a former 2,700-acre ranch. Fence work here spans four distinct market segments: Rough Hollow (1,800-acre gated master-planned resort community with 30+ neighborhoods stretched along 3 miles of Lake Travis shoreline, plus the Rough Hollow Yacht Club and Marina with 294 boat and jetski slips); The Hills of Lakeway (24/7 guard-gated community centered on The Hills Country Club with two Jack Nicklaus championship golf courses and 600+ residences); Serene Hills (gated newer luxury on 456 acres) and Flintrock Falls (gated golf community connected to The Hills Country Club); and Old Lakeway (the original section with mature trees and established homes closer to the lake).
Lakeway sits on Edwards Plateau limestone throughout the city, as in Bee Cave and Dripping Springs. Most residential lots require rock drilling through the limestone shelf for post-setting, and Lakeway’s steep hillside topography adds terrain considerations for lots overlooking Lake Travis. We’re set up for both. The City of Lakeway code specifies a 6-foot standard fence height, and each master-planned community’s ARC layers on stain palette and material grade requirements on top of that. Waterfront lots along Lake Travis carry additional constraints: view-preserving heights on lake-facing runs, dock and seawall coordination near the waterline, and wildlife (deer) considerations for the interior perimeter.
Fence Services in Lakeway
Cedar Privacy Fence Installation
Cedar privacy is the dominant install across Rough Hollow, The Hills of Lakeway, Serene Hills, and Flintrock Falls HOAs. Each community’s ARC approves Western Red Cedar with specific stain palettes and post-cap requirements. Our Rough Hollow cedar specifications include a standard 3-foot post depth through limestone with drilled anchors, and we’ll source Western Red Cedar for HOA-required projects because it holds stain longer than pressure-treated pine and consistently clears ARC review across Lakeway’s premium HOAs.
Lake Travis Waterfront Lot Fencing
Waterfront lots along Lake Travis require fence configurations that preserve lake views, coordinate with docks and seawalls near the waterline, and control deer traffic along the interior perimeter. Our Lake Travis waterfront specifications handle lower-height lake-facing runs (4-foot or split-rail decorative), full-height interior perimeter for privacy, and post-setting coordination around dock hardware and existing shoreline structures. We’ve worked Rough Hollow shoreline lots and Old Lakeway waterfront properties regularly.
Chain Link Fence Installation
Chain link’s the go-to for Lakeway’s commercial perimeter work at Lakeway Commons and along FM 620, plus larger rural lots outside master-planned communities and marina service yards. Lakeway commercial chain link options range from 4-foot pet containment to 8-foot commercial security-grade, with galvanized or vinyl-coated finishes and a top rail included on all runs.
Ornamental Iron Front Fencing
The Hills of Lakeway country club estates, Flintrock Falls golf-course lots, and select Rough Hollow estate sections specify Hills of Lakeway estate iron specifications for front-yard accent runs, pool safety enclosures, and driveway entry gates. HOA design standards dictate iron dimensions, post spacing, and cap style, which we’ll match to spec before installation.
Custom Gates and Automated Entry
Standard walk gates come with every Lakeway privacy install. Larger Rough Hollow, Hills of Lakeway, Serene Hills, and Flintrock Falls estate lots often need double drive-through gates and automated operators for longer driveways carved into hillside terrain. Lakeway automated gate services include walk gates, drive-through gates, and keypad, remote, or solar operators sized for hillside grade and driveway curvature.
Our Lakeway Installation Process
Our Lakeway process is built around three factors specific to this market: multiple premium HOA architectural review workflows (Rough Hollow, The Hills of Lakeway, Serene Hills, Flintrock Falls), Edwards Plateau limestone drilling on steep hillside lots, and waterfront-lot coordination for Lake Travis shoreline properties.
Step 1: On-site estimate. We’ll measure your property, discuss material options, identify your specific HOA (Rough Hollow, Hills of Lakeway, Serene Hills, Flintrock Falls, Old Lakeway non-HOA), assess hillside grade and waterfront constraints if applicable, and confirm limestone drilling scope. Written itemized estimate within 48 hours.
Step 2: HOA ARC submission and coordination with the City of Lakeway for permits. Each Lakeway master-planned community runs its own ARC process. We’ll prepare the ARC submission package (material specs, stain colors, layout drawings) and submit on your behalf. Rough Hollow ARC typically takes 2 to 4 weeks; Hills of Lakeway is similar. When your project requires a City of Lakeway permit (Lakeway has its own municipal permit process, separate from Austin), we’ll have our permit partners handle the paperwork so you don’t have to chase forms.
Step 3: Material sourcing and delivery. We’ll source Western Red Cedar, standard cedar, ornamental iron, or specialty materials to your approved spec. Delivery coordinated with confirmed install date.
Step 4: Installation. Our crews set posts to a 3-foot minimum depth with concrete collars on eastern clay-loam lots, and rock-drill through limestone shelf on western lots as needed. A standard 180-foot residential installation completes in 1 to 2 days.
Step 5: Final walkthrough and warranty handoff. We’ll test gate operation, verify plumb, complete site cleanup, and hand off your workmanship warranty in writing. If anything’s out of spec in the first year, we’ll come back and fix it. Standard Lakeway HOA projects run 3 to 5 weeks total (including ARC review and installation), and non-HOA Old Lakeway projects run 1 to 2 weeks.

Fence Cost in Lakeway
Lakeway pricing depends on material selection, HOA-mandated specs (Rough Hollow and Hills of Lakeway stain palettes and premium grades add per-foot cost vs standard cedar), limestone drilling scope, hillside terrain complexity, and waterfront constraints if your lot fronts Lake Travis. Waterfront runs with view-preserving lower heights on the lake side, plus full-height interior perimeter change per linear foot averages.

Frequently Asked Questions
What Lakeway neighborhoods do you serve?
We install fences across all Lakeway neighborhoods, including Rough Hollow (all 30+ sub-neighborhoods along the shoreline), The Hills of Lakeway, Flintrock Falls, Serene Hills, The Preserve at Lakeway, Ridge at Alta Vista, Bella Strada, and Old Lakeway (the original section closer to Lake Travis). We also handle waterfront properties along the south shore of Lake Travis, as well as commercial fence work along FM 620 and near the marinas.
Do I need a permit for a fence in Lakeway?
Most standard residential fences in Lakeway (6 feet or under, not on a corner lot) require a City of Lakeway permit, which is separate from the City of Austin permit process. Fences over 6 feet always require a permit, and corner lots are subject to sight-triangle rules that limit height near intersections. We’ll have our permit partners handle paperwork for all Lakeway city-permit-required projects. HOA architectural review from Rough Hollow, The Hills of Lakeway, or your specific community is a separate approval step that happens in parallel.
Do you install fences on Lake Travis waterfront lots?
Yes. Waterfront properties along the south shore of Lake Travis (Rough Hollow shoreline lots, Old Lakeway waterfront homes, and select Hills of Lakeway lake-view lots) need fence configurations that work with the water: lower-height or split-rail decorative on the lake-facing run to preserve views, full-height interior perimeter for privacy and security, and dock-and-seawall coordination near the waterline. Deer traffic on the interior perimeter’s a real Lakeway consideration we’ll account for too. Rough Hollow HOA has additional constraints on shoreline structure alterations that we’ll coordinate before installation.
How long does fence installation take in Lakeway?
For Lakeway master-planned HOAs (Rough Hollow, The Hills of Lakeway, Serene Hills, Flintrock Falls), allow 2 to 4 weeks for architectural review plus 1 to 2 days for a standard install, accounting for limestone drilling. City of Lakeway permit adds 1-2 additional weeks. Larger Rough Hollow waterfront installs or Hills of Lakeway estate perimeter runs (500+ feet) take 3 to 5 days. Steep hillside lots add time for grading coordination. Non-HOA Old Lakeway projects usually install within 1 to 2 weeks.
Do you offer a warranty on Lakeway fence installations?
Yes, in writing. You’ll get a 1-year workmanship warranty at no extra charge on every Lakeway fence, covering post plumbness, gate function, picket alignment, and any structural issues traceable to the installation. Materials carry separate manufacturer warranties. If our work slips out of spec in the first year, we’ll come back and fix it.
