Fences & gates

The first thing your guests see, and the boundary that defines your property. Cedar, steel, automated entry hardware. Built to read as architecture, not utility.

A fence is a piece of architecture, not a length of pickets. The cedar fence at the edge of your property and the gate at the end of your drive set the tone for everything inside the boundary. We build fences that read as part of the home rather than as something added to it. Western red cedar properly milled and oriented, posts set in concrete with proper drainage, hardware specified for marine air exposure where applicable. Automated gates with reliable solar-or-mains entry hardware, intercom integration, and the kind of hinge engineering that doesn't sag in the third winter.

Cedar fence done right

Heart-grade Western red cedar, properly oriented (heartwood out), posts set in concrete with gravel base for drainage, stainless or hot-dipped galvanized fasteners. The cheap fence next door will be replaced in seven years. Yours will outlast the deed.

Automated gates

Solar or mains-powered entry, BFT or LiftMaster commercial-grade openers, vehicle loop detectors, intercom integration with cellular or hardwired connection. We work with low-voltage and security integrators when the system is part of a larger property automation.
