Custom Driveway Gates
Plan the complete vehicle entry: opening, privacy, materials, parking clearance and future automation.
Plan the complete vehicle entry: opening, privacy, materials, parking clearance and future automation.
A driveway gate is a frontage and access project, not simply a metal panel. We assess where a vehicle waits, how visitors enter, the clear opening and what the supports can carry before choosing a style.
New construction and replacement have different constraints. An existing opening may have fragile masonry, buried conduit or resurfaced pavement that needs attention before a new gate is fitted.
When the entrance needs redesign
- Vehicles cannot wait clear of the street
- An old gate no longer fits resurfaced pavement
- Privacy panels overload existing supports
- Deliveries have no independent pedestrian entry

Resolve layout before fabrication
We map the opening, property approach, vehicle envelope, grade and support locations. Slide and swing options are evaluated against the actual available space.
Next we review material, visibility, finish and access needs. Power and conduit for an operator can be planned with the supports even if automation is a later phase. Required approvals are identified for you to confirm before fabrication.
Frontage decisions
- Open-pattern entry
- Pickets or ornamental patterns retain sightlines while marking the boundary.
- Privacy entry
- Solid panels or close cladding change wind loads and may reduce visibility.
- Coordinated pedestrian opening
- A separate walk-through gate provides access without cycling the vehicle leaf.
What affects the scope and the price
- Width, height and material
- Groundworks and support engineering
- Existing masonry or pavement removal
- Power runs and access equipment
- Parcel-specific design or permit requirements
What's included
- Entry measurement and layout
- Open-pattern or privacy designs
- Fabrication and structural hardware
- Automation-ready planning
Protect the approach as well as the gate
Keep visibility and vehicle waiting areas clear. Inspect finish damage and post movement before they develop into alignment problems; document the manual-release procedure for automated entries.
