Estate Driveway Gates in Moraga.

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 Moraga, moraga homes in rheem valley, campolindo, and sanders ranch sit on sloped, oak-shaded lots where the driveway rolls with the grade. Rolling clay soils along Bollinger Canyon heave meaningfully in the wet season; pier depth and reinforcement are specified to match. 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 Rheem Valley, Campolindo, Sanders Ranch, the Moraga Country Club area, and Miramonte.
