Estate Driveway Gates in Granite Bay.

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 Granite Bay, granite bay estates run to multi-acre parcels off auburn-folsom, eureka, and douglas — long, formal entry drives where the gate carries the first read of the property. Sustained foothill heat and open exposure drive UV-stable finish specs and wind-load engineering, especially on solid-panel automated gates. 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 Los Lagos, Granite Bay Hills, Treelake, Wexford, and the Eureka Road corridor.
