Driveway Gate Types and Materials

A custom-made driveway gate does more than protect your property. It boosts your home’s curb appeal, cultivates an aesthetic, and expresses your excellent taste. From private homes to high-security commercial lots or gated residential communities, we work with you to find the features and materials that meet your needs and capture your vision.

Wooden Driveway Gates

With a heavy-duty steel core wrapped in select-grade mahogany, clear western red cedar, or sturdy Brazilian ipe, your wooden gate will be built for maximum durability.
