Entry & Garden Gates in Piedmont, CA

entry gate · Piedmont

The pedestrian version of everything we build.

The single-leaf gate is the pedestrian version of everything we build for the driveway — side-yard access, garden entries, courtyard walkways, the door in a fence line. In Piedmont, piedmont properties are early-1900s estate architecture — tudor, mediterranean, and julia morgan-era craftsman on tight, tree-lined streets.

Every leaf is framed in mortise-and-tenon joinery and hung from hinges rated at 2× the loaded weight. We specify Sapele mahogany over redwood for stability, and every fastener that touches the gate is marine-grade hardware.

We build regularly in Upper Piedmont, Central Piedmont, and along the Crocker Highlands edge. Installation typically takes 1–3 days on site, depending on complexity. Lead times average 4 to 8 weeks from approved design. Contact us for an exact timeline for your project.

Local context · Piedmont

Piedmont is shorthand for early-1900s estate architecture — Tudor, Mediterranean, and Julia Morgan-era Craftsman. We work throughout Upper Piedmont, Central Piedmont, and along the Crocker Highlands edge.

"We needed a gate that honored the 1924 architecture of the house. Heartwood matched the existing ironwork and built a Sapele pedestrian gate that looks like it has always been there."

Frequently asked

Entry & Garden Gates in Piedmont — answered.

01How much does a entry gate cost in Piedmont?
Piedmont entry gate projects generally run $6,500–$20,000+ installed. Automation is quoted per site. Operator, power, and safety devices are sized to leaf weight, width, and how often the gate runs. Every quote is fixed-price after design approval and site survey. Estate-grade builds with premium hardware and custom ironwork can exceed the top of this range.
02How long does a entry gate take in Piedmont?
Lead times average 4 to 8 weeks from approved design. Contact us for an exact timeline for your project. The process includes on-site consultation, rendered design and finish approval, workshop build in Concord, then a two-to-four-day install.
03What materials do you build in?
Sapele mahogany, white oak, ipe, and hot-rolled or blackened steel — often in combination. See our comparison of Sapele versus redwood and our note on mortise-and-tenon joinery. Finishes are marine-grade penetrating oils; hardware is marine bronze, stainless, or steel.
04Can a single swing gate be automated?
Rarely — most entry gates are hand-operated. When automation is wanted (long side-yard runs, ADA-adjacent access), we install a low-voltage swing operator with keypad or fob entry.
