Estate Driveway Gates in Alamo.

The double swing is our estate driveway statement piece — two leaves meeting at the centerline, sized for openings 12 to 20 feet. We build it in three design languages: mid-century modern with clean horizontal lines and minimal ironwork; Craftsman with heavier timber and exposed joinery; and traditional estate with custom arches and, on the right property, an arbor built above the opening.

In Alamo, alamo estates sit behind long private drives off danville boulevard, livorna, and stone valley — properties where the gate reads from the street. Expansive I-680-corridor clay and mature valley-oak roots dictate deeper piers and staggered footings on nearly every build. Manual or motor-automated is a decision made per site — long drives almost always warrant automation, shorter formal approaches sometimes read better manual.

Frames are mortise-and-tenon joinery in Sapele mahogany over redwood, hung on hardware sized to the loaded leaf. We build regularly in Round Hill, Westside, Alamo Oaks, and Bryan Ranch.
