Started in a Concord workshop. Now the preeminent custom gate manufacturer in Northern California.

What began in 2016 as a two-person hardwood gate shop in Concord has grown into the region's leading custom gate manufacturer — trusted by architects, builders, and homeowners on luxury estates from the Berkeley Hills and Piedmont to Ross, Tiburon, St. Helena, Yountville, and El Dorado Hills.

We design, engineer, fabricate, finish, and install every gate under our own name — from a single garden entry to fully automated estate driveway gates. Mortise-and-tenon joinery. CNC precision. Premium automation.

Selected projects.

Recent works from Napa, Sacramento, and the greater East Bay. Each piece a unique architectural contribution to the landscape.

Seven services. One workshop.

Built with patience. Joined with care.

A Heartwood gate is furniture-grade joinery sized for weather, hung on operators we'd put on our own house, and finished by hand. Penofin Verde, Armstrong Clark, Cabot, Sikkens, Messmer's, and TWP — specified per project, per microclimate.

01

Mahogany & White Oak

Sustainable, architectural-grade hardwoods selected for stability and weathering across Northern California microclimates.

02

Precision Joinery

True mortise-and-tenon construction combined with CNC precision. No screws hold the frame together — the joinery is the strength.

03

Atmospheric Shield

Hand-applied premium finish system: Penofin Verde, Armstrong Clark, Cabot, Sikkens, Messmer's, or TWP — chosen per project.
