Custom Driveway Gates in Walnut Creek, CA

driveway gate · Walnut Creek

Engineered to the opening. Drawn to the house.

A driveway gate is engineered around the opening. Swing, bi-parting, bi-fold — every configuration starts with a site survey: opening width, approach grade, soil, utility lines, swing or slide clearance. In Walnut Creek, walnut creek runs from mid-century hillside builds in northgate and walnut heights to traditional ranches and contemporary new construction closer to town.

Hot dry I-680-corridor summers and expansive clay soils dictate UV-stable finishes and pier-and-footing systems sized for soil movement. Frame is welded steel or Sapele mahogany over redwood, joined mortise-and-tenon joinery where the design shows wood. Automation (when specified) is UL325-compliant with loop detectors, photo eyes, and the access-control stack your architecture calls for.

We work throughout Northgate, Saranap, Tice Valley, Walnut Heights, Parkmead, and the Woodlands. Lead times average 4 to 8 weeks from approved design. Contact us for an exact timeline for your project.

"Heartwood designed and installed a Sapele swing gate that completely changed the front of our home. The crew was tidy, the joinery is gorgeous, and the FAAC operator has been flawless through two summers."

Frequently asked

Custom Driveway Gates in Walnut Creek — answered.

01How much does a driveway gate cost in Walnut Creek?
Walnut Creek driveway gate projects generally run $15,000–$60,000. 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 driveway gate take in Walnut Creek?
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.
04Swing, sliding, or bi-fold — which is right?
Grade, clearance, and fence-line length decide. Level approach with room to swing: single or double swing. Tight lateral clearance or steep approach: sliding cantilever. Very narrow openings with poor slide-back room: bi-fold. Every site is surveyed before the recommendation.
