Gates, garage doors, fencing & automation for Woodland Hills homes and businesses
Woodland Hills set Los Angeles County's all-time heat record and runs right up to Mulholland Drive, so the material, the finish and the spot where a gate sits are settled before we draw it. 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 Woodland Hills
Woodland Hills covers a lot of ground, and the gates change with the neighborhood. Around Walnut Acres and the flats north of Ventura, wide lots and equestrian-style properties call for long fence runs and double driveway gates; south of the boulevard toward Mulholland, the hillside streets need gates designed around slope and retaining walls; and around Warner Center, commercial and multifamily entries need high-cycle operators and access control.
Our fabrication partner of 15 years builds all of it from drawings you approve first — steel and wrought iron for pickets and modern slat designs, clear cedar and redwood on welded steel frames for wood. Woodland Hills is inside the City of Los Angeles, so permits go through LADBS; hillside parcels may carry additional review, and if your project needs a permit, we can take care of the paperwork for an added fee.
From our Van Nuys office, Woodland Hills estimates and repair calls are a short drive. If your operator is humming, reversing, or slowing down, call before it becomes a stuck gate — most of those symptoms are a straightforward repair when they are caught early.
Local conditions
Within 500 feet of Mulholland Drive, the specific plan limits fences, gates and walls visible from the road to rough-cut unfinished wood, native stone, split-face block, textured plaster, and black or dark green wrought iron or chain link. A bronze-finished iron gate or a smooth stained cedar gate can fail that test, so we pin down the finish before drawing anything.
Woodland Hills reached 121°F on September 6, 2020, the highest temperature ever recorded in Los Angeles County. In sun like that, dark steel gets hot enough to burn a hand at the latch, cedar dries and opens its gaps, and an operator's control board bakes in a closed box. Finish color, latch hardware and where the operator sits are chosen with that in mind.
Topanga Canyon Boulevard is State Route 27, so work on a driveway apron there goes through a Caltrans encroachment permit rather than the city. Traffic is fast, too. The gate should sit far enough back that a car can pull completely off the highway while it opens, with an operator quick enough that nobody waits with a bumper in the lane.
