CUSTOM FENCES & GATES IN AUSTIN, TX
projects that require more than a standard fence
At Paragon Fence & Outdoor, we design and build custom fences and gates in Austin, TX that balance structure, security, and style. With over 20 years of experience building across the greater Austin area, we aim to design fences and gates that look just as good years from now as they do on day one. Our approach to custom fence and gate design in Austin, TX starts with listening, then engineering a solution that respects both the space and the vision behind it.
In fact, we’ve often tackled projects that other fence companies won’t. From horizontal and vertical wood fences to custom steel and wood gates with automation, we’ll work closely with you to find thoughtful, creative solutions for the design ideas you have or the unique features and challenges of your outdoor space.
Below are examples of how we’ve solved unique design challenges for homeowners across Central Texas.
masonry wall with antique wood gate
For this project, the client wanted a full masonry perimeter wall paired with a salvaged antique wood door to serve as the primary entry gate. The challenge was designing a structure that felt cohesive—without overpowering the character of the original door.
We built a custom stucco wall designed to match the home’s exterior finish, proportions, and architectural lines. The antique door was reinforced and carefully integrated into a modern gate system, allowing it to function properly while preserving its one-of-a-kind character.
This project is a great example of how custom masonry walls and gates in Austin can blend historic elements with modern construction methods—resulting in a secure, cohesive, and visually striking perimeter.
This masonry wall was designed and managed personally by Paragon’s owner, prior to Paragon’s founding.
antique gate height extension
This gate was designed and managed personally by Paragon’s owner, prior to Paragon’s founding.
When a homeowner came to us with a very old iron gate, their priority was clear: increase security without losing the original gate’s historical value.
Rather than replacing it, we custom fabricated a seamless extension that increased the gate’s height while matching the original ironwork’s style and proportions. The extension was engineered to integrate structurally and visually, creating a taller, more secure gate that still reads as one unified piece.
This kind of work requires precision fabrication and an eye for detail—especially when dealing with custom iron gates in Austin, TX that carry sentimental or architectural significance.
designing fences around existing trees
These fences were designed and managed personally by Paragon’s owner, prior to Paragon’s founding with extra care taken for the trees.
Mature trees are one of Austin’s greatest assets—and one of the biggest challenges when installing fences. We regularly design custom fences around existing trees to preserve root systems, avoid long-term damage, and maintain the natural landscape.
Rather than cutting trees or forcing straight fence lines, we frame fencing around trunks and root zones using adjusted post spacing and structural reinforcement. The result is a fence that feels intentional, protects the tree’s health, and holds up structurally over time.
This approach is especially important for homeowners looking for tree-friendly fence installation in Austin, where preservation and longevity go hand in hand.
how we approach custom fence & gate design in austin
Custom projects require more than a standard quote—they require clarity, collaboration, and planning.
Our process begins with understanding how you want your fence or gate to function and look. We provide a clear estimate on pricing based on your goals, followed by an on-site evaluation to confirm measurements, site conditions, and design constraints.
From there, we develop a custom design plan in-house, accounting for grade changes, materials, access points, automation needs, and long-term durability. For more complex builds—such as masonry walls, automated gates, or multi-material designs—we use reference imagery, digital sketches, and 3D visualizations to help you fully understand the layout and final design plan.
Before installation, you’ll receive a detailed recap, often including a walkthrough video, so expectations are aligned and nothing is left unclear. This process allows us to deliver custom fences and gates in Austin, TX that are thoughtfully planned, structurally sound, and aligned with your outdoor living goals.
