Flagpoles in Austin

State government, a very large university and a technology corridor that keeps spreading north. We cover Austin and the Travis County area, including the Capitol Complex, downtown and Congress Avenue, the University of Texas campus, the Domain, Mueller, East Austin and the MoPac and Highway 183 corridors.

Wind here. Austin sits in an inland, edge of the Hill Country area, which works out to roughly 105 mph under the code your town uses. That figure decides how wide and how thick the pole has to be, so we check it against your address before we quote. Two Austin things catch people out, and neither is the wind. The first is the Capitol view corridors: thirty sightlines to the Capitol are protected in state law and in the city code, and nothing may be built that crosses one, so a tall pole downtown or on the near south side is worth checking before it is ordered. The second is rock. West of MoPac you are on shallow limestone and the foundation gets cut rather than augered, which costs more and takes longer; east of I-35 you are back on clay and it is a normal day's work. The mapped figure, around 105 mph, is the easy part of an Austin job.

Most of the people who call us from Austin are state agency buildings, technology and office campuses, university and school facilities, hotels, churches and HOA communities.
