In recent years, wood and iron have become one of the most exciting combinations in custom gates and fencing. In Los Angeles Santa Monica highly good Malibu Manhattan Beach Encino Tarzana Pasadena Altadena San Marino Beverly Hills Bel Air and Rancho Palos Verdes, the natural beauty of exotic hardwoods combined with different shapes, sizes, and finishes of iron gives us an incredible range of possibilities.
And this is where your imagination can begin.
Think about the entrance to your property not simply as a gate, but as an opportunity to create something completely different.
We can combine rich natural woods with black iron, contemporary horizontal lines, narrow or wide sections, different spacing, contrasting colors, heavier frames, delicate details, or clean minimalist designs.
There are hundreds of possible combinations — but the important one is the combination that looks right on your property.
Maybe you already have an idea.
Maybe you’ve seen a gate somewhere in Los Angeles that made you slow down and look twice.
Maybe you have a photograph saved on your phone.
Or perhaps you don’t know exactly what you want yet — you simply know that your current entrance doesn’t represent the way you want your property to look.
That’s where we start creating.
Your home’s architecture gives us clues. The colors, landscaping, stone, stucco, brick, windows, lighting, and existing details can all become part of the inspiration.
Then we begin playing with materials.
What if we use a warmer wood?
What if we make the iron sections thinner?
What happens if we change the direction of the boards?
Would more privacy look better, or should we leave small openings between the wood?
Should the gate disappear into the architecture — or should it become the centerpiece of the entrance?
Those decisions are where custom work becomes exciting.
Because we are not choosing something from a shelf.
We Are Creating Something That Belongs to Your Property
And beauty is only part of the equation.
Behind that beautiful wood should be a properly designed iron structure providing the strength, security, stability, and durability a real gate requires.
Your entrance can provide privacy.
It can provide security.
It can complement your architecture.
It can enhance your property’s curb appeal and perceived value.
And when we combine it with an automatic gate operator, intercom, keypad, or access-control system, that beautiful entrance can also become part of the way you control your property every day.
Wood gives us warmth.
Iron gives us strength.
Your property gives us inspiration.
And experience helps us bring everything together.
As you look through our Iron Guys gallery, don’t feel that you have to copy any one gate exactly.
Take the wood from one.
Take the pattern from another.
Take an iron detail from another.
Bring us your own photograph or idea.
Then let’s put those ideas together and create something that wasn’t there before.
Your Gate Doesn’t Have to Look Like Anybody Else’s.
It only has to look like it belongs to your property.
