    Design & Build

    Custom Driveway Gates in Moraga

    Hillside-ready custom gates designed to pass Moraga's scenic-corridor review, then automated.

    We design and build custom driveway gates for Moraga in wrought iron, steel, and wood. Moraga is semi-rural Lamorinda: hillside lots, long private drives, and a town that takes design seriously. Gates over 3 feet that are visible from a designated scenic corridor like Moraga Way, Moraga Road, Rheem Boulevard, or St. Mary's Road get extra design review, so we design entrances for Moraga Country Club, Sanders Ranch, and Rheem Valley that pass that review the first time.

    Every gate is engineered for its opening and finished in the powder-coat color you choose, then paired with the right operator and access control. Over the ridge, see our Lafayette custom driveway gate project, or explore our custom gate design work.

    Moraga reviews gates on its scenic corridors, and slopes count against your height. Under Moraga Municipal Code Section 8.68.040, a fence or gate in the front or exterior side setback is limited to 3 feet without Zoning Administrator approval, 6 feet is allowed elsewhere without a building permit, and 6 to 7.5 feet needs design review. Height is measured from the top of the fence to the lowest finished grade below it, which matters on Moraga's sloped lots. Uniquely, any fence or gate over 3 feet visible from a designated scenic corridor (Moraga Way, Moraga Road, Camino Pablo, Canyon Road, Bollinger Canyon Road, Rheem Boulevard, or St. Mary's Road) needs Design Review Board approval (Section 8.132.040). Building permits are processed through Contra Costa County.Because an automatic gate adds an operator and wiring, the electrical work typically needs its own permit. Rules change and every lot is different, so we confirm the current requirements with the city and pull the permits the gate and automation need.

    Moraga Gate Installation FAQ

    Do I need a permit for a driveway gate in Moraga?
    Moraga limits fences and gates in the front or exterior side setback to 3 feet without Zoning Administrator approval, allows 6 feet elsewhere without a building permit, and requires design review from 6 to 7.5 feet (Municipal Code Section 8.68.040). Height is measured to the lowest grade under the fence, which matters on slopes. A gate over 3 feet visible from a designated scenic corridor such as Moraga Way or St. Mary's Road also needs Design Review Board approval (Section 8.132.040), and building permits are processed through Contra Costa County. Because an automatic gate adds an operator and wiring, the electrical work typically needs its own permit. We handle the review and the permits.
    How much does a custom driveway gate cost in Moraga?
    A built-and-installed iron, steel, or wood driveway gate in Moraga typically runs about $8,000 to $22,000 depending on width, design, and site work, with automation, video intercom, and access control adding roughly $3,000 to $7,000. Wide estate entrances and long or sloped drives sit at the higher end. We give a free on-site estimate so the number is exact.
    What is Moraga's scenic-corridor rule for gates?
    Moraga designates Moraga Way, Moraga Road, Camino Pablo, Canyon Road, Bollinger Canyon Road, Rheem Boulevard, and St. Mary's Road as scenic corridors, and any fence or gate over 3 feet visible from one of them needs Design Review Board approval. We design entrances with the materials, proportions, and landscaping the board looks for, so the review passes the first time.
    Should I get a sliding or swing gate for my Moraga driveway?
    Flatter Country Club and Sanders Ranch drives usually take a dual swing, while steep Rheem Valley and Campolindo approaches often suit a cantilever slider that does not bind on an uphill arc. We recommend the right type during the free on-site assessment.
    Do you install access control and video intercoms in Moraga?
    Yes. We install keypads, video intercoms, app entry, and camera integration from DoorBird, CellGate, LiftMaster, and Ubiquiti, with battery backup for outages, so you can see and admit visitors from anywhere.
    How long does automatic gate installation take in Moraga?
    Adding an opener and access control to an existing gate is usually one day. A full custom gate with fabrication, fresh wiring, and intercom takes several days, and long or sloped runs take longer. We give a clear timeline with your written estimate.
