Entry & Garden Gates in Walnut Creek, CA

entry gate · Walnut Creek

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 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.

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 Northgate, Saranap, Tice Valley, Walnut Heights, Parkmead, and the Woodlands. 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.

"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

Entry & Garden Gates in Walnut Creek — answered.

01How much does a entry gate cost in Walnut Creek?
Walnut Creek 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 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.
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.
