Gates, garage doors, fencing & automation for Calabasas homes and businesses

Calabasas has its own code for fences, oak trees and scenic roads, and a gate here is drawn around all three before anyone picks a style. Nothing is built until you approve the drawing. Our fabrication partner of 15 years builds it, our licensed installers put it in, and our phones are answered 24/7 for gate and garage door repairs.

Gates in Calabasas
Calabasas is gated-community country. Many of the neighborhoods — the streets off Parkway Calabasas, the hillside communities above the 101, the estates toward Mulholland Highway — sit inside HOAs with design guidelines, and the gate on your own driveway usually has to be approved by the association before the city sees it. Our scaled drawing is what boards ask for, and we design to the guidelines from the start so approval is a formality.
Calabasas is its own city with its own Building & Safety department, separate from Los Angeles, with its own height rules and permit process. Hillside lots, fire-zone requirements, and long driveways with a power run to the street are all normal here. We confirm the rules for your parcel and size the operator and footings for the site, and if the gate needs a City of Calabasas permit, we can take care of it for an added fee.
The look in Calabasas runs to substantial: wide double swing gates in wrought iron with matching fence, modern steel and glass on newer builds, and cedar or redwood on steel frames for ranch-style properties. Every one is built to our drawing by our fabrication partner of 15 years and installed by our licensed installers, most of whom have worked with us for more than ten years.
Local conditions
Calabasas protects its oak trees, and an oak's protected zone starts five feet outside its drip line; a heritage oak's reaches at least 50 feet from the trunk. Gate posts, footings and a trench for power all count as work inside that zone, and encroaching on more than a tenth of it goes to the Planning Commission. We site posts and route conduit around the roots before drawing.
On lots zoned RR, HM or OS that touch mapped habitat or wildlife corridors, the code confines ordinary fencing to the area around the house, pool and patio, and a fence along the outer property line has to be wildlife friendly. In practice that means a tight fence and gate around the developed pad and an open design at the edge of the lot.
An arch, trellis or pilaster over a front-yard gate can reach eight feet with site plan review, but only if the entry feature is no wider than eight feet. That suits a walk gate. Over a two-car driveway, the presence has to come from pillars set back where the fence height steps up to six feet.
