Why Napa homeowners commission Heartwood.
Our Napa custom gate process starts with an on-site consultation. We measure the opening, study the architecture, photograph the surrounding hardscape, and walk you through material and joinery options that will read with your home. From there we deliver a rendered design, a fixed-price quote, and a build schedule.
Materials we work with most often in Napa include Sapele mahogany (Janka 1,510), white oak, ipe, and western red cedar — paired with hot-rolled or blackened steel framing and marine-grade bronze or stainless hardware. Every joint is mortise-and-tenon with drawbore pins, and every panel is finished with a UV-stable penetrating oil chosen for the local climate.
We build single and double swing gates, sliding gates, bi-fold gates, pedestrian entry gates, and matching courtyard or garden gates. Most Napa clients commission a primary driveway gate plus a coordinated walk gate or garden gate so the entrance reads as one composition.
Lead time on a custom build is typically six to twelve weeks from approved design. Installation usually takes two to four days on site, including post-set, gate hanging, automation wiring (if applicable), and final finish touch-up.
Napa estates lean Mediterranean, modern farmhouse, and contemporary winery vernacular — gates often anchor long vineyard driveways. Wine-country UV is brutal and fog-cycling between Carneros and the valley floor stresses any unprotected finish — we spec marine-grade penetrating oils.
"Our property is the gate. Heartwood's design team flew over and walked the site, then delivered a steel-and-Sapele estate entry that frames the vineyard view perfectly."
