Gates in Granada Hills

What building a gate in Granada Hills actually involves

Granada Hills was laid out with room to breathe. Old Granada Hills, south of Rinaldi, is ranch houses on wide lots with long frontages; north of Rinaldi, in the Knollwood area, the streets climb into the foothills and the driveways climb with them. Both call for gates with some presence — double swing gates in iron or wood, matched fence runs, a pedestrian gate beside the driveway — and both are drawn for the specific lot before anything is cut.

The foothill streets are where design matters most: a driveway that rises from the street rules out a plain swing gate, and a slide or cantilever gate along the property line is usually the answer. Granada Hills is inside the City of Los Angeles, so permits go through LADBS, with hillside review on the parcels that need it. We confirm the requirements for your address, and if a permit is needed, we can take care of the paperwork for an added fee.

Estimates are free and written, automation is installed to UL 325 and ASTM F2200, and 24/7 emergency service covers the whole neighborhood.

What changes the build in Granada Hills

  • Horse lots north of Rinaldi

    The Granada Hills Equinekeeping 'K' district covers single-family lots in the northwest corner of the community, north of Rinaldi Street, and the community plan describes them with access paths for horse trailers. The driveway gate on one of those lots is a trailer gate first: wide, set back so a rig can stop clear of the street, and hung to swing clear of the corrals.

  • Chatsworth Street's Spanish look

    The Granada Hills Specific Plan aims for consistent Spanish Colonial roofs and facades along the Chatsworth Street commercial core, and its design review board looks at work there, including the apartment blocks between Andasol and Genesta Avenues. A security gate or fence on those properties should read as part of that look, which points toward wrought iron.

  • The deodar stretch of White Oak Avenue

    The deodar cedars along White Oak Avenue between San Fernando Mission Boulevard and San Jose Street are Historic-Cultural Monument No. 41. On those blocks, widening a driveway apron means working around the roots of monument street trees, and pruning street-tree roots takes a city permit, so the practical move is usually to size the gate to the driveway you have.

See All FAQs

Yes. Wide double swing gates, long fence runs, and matching pedestrian gates are common on the larger Granada Hills lots. Building the gate and fence from one drawing keeps the height, spacing, and finish consistent along the whole property line.
