Custom Driveway Gates in Los Angeles
An estate gate is the first impression of the home. We build pivot, sliding, and bi-fold gates with structural steel cores, Cumaru or Ipe cladding, and integrated biometric or app-based controls — designed to read as a continuation of your perimeter wall, not a bolt-on. Every gate is engineered for 100+ mph wind load and 20 years of daily cycles.

Why Red Stag
Three reasons LA homeowners trust us with their gates.
Structural steel core.
Every gate over 8 feet uses a structural steel armature engineered to take 100+ mph wind load and 20 years of daily cycles. The hardwood is cladding — the structure is steel.
Hidden hardware, integrated controls.
Pivot, sliding, and bi-fold mechanisms with magnetic latches, biometric or keypad access, and full smart-home integration. No exposed hinges, no surface-mount controllers.
Designed to read with the architecture.
Estate gates are an architectural element, not an accessory. We collaborate with your architect (or design from scratch) to make the gate a continuation of the perimeter wall — not a bolt-on.
How we build
What's actually different about a Red Stag gates build.
An estate gate is the first impression of the home. We build pivot, sliding, and bi-fold gates with structural steel cores, Cumaru or Ipe cladding, and integrated biometric or app-based controls — designed to read as a continuation of your perimeter wall, not a bolt-on. Every gate is engineered for 100+ mph wind load and 20 years of daily cycles. Every gates project we deliver in Los Angeles starts with a free in-home walkthrough where we look at the actual conditions of the site — sun exposure, slope, soil type, prevailing winds, neighbor sightlines, and any existing structure that the build will tie into. The walkthrough takes 45 minutes and the written quote follows within four business hours.
What separates a Red Stag gates build from a generic LA contractor build is what happens before the build even starts. We engineer the substructure for your specific site (not a generic span table), specify materials by microclimate (not by what's on the lumber yard truck this week), and document every detail in the contract before the deposit is invoiced. The result: zero change orders on roughly 92% of our completed projects since 2018.
Pricing reflects the spec, not the markup. Gates projects in Los Angeles fall in a $24,000–$180,000 band depending on size, material, and structural complexity. Hardwood selection (Cumaru, Ipe, or Garapa) drives 30–45% of the variance. Site conditions (hillside, coastal, fire-zone) drive another 20–35%. The remaining variance is finish detailing — hidden hardware, custom rail systems, integrated lighting — which is where most homeowners want optionality.

- Permits and HOA submittals included in contract scope (no extra coordination fees)
- Build sequence locked before any deposit; weekly written progress reports through completion
