At Pacific Gate Works, everything begins with a simple conversation. We talk about your project, your needs, and your vision. I personally guide every step — selecting each board by hand and shaping the work to fit your life, your home, your style.


A thoughtful project takes time. I sketch, we refine, and we don’t begin building until the details feel right. We focus on longevity, function, and quiet beauty: how the gate attaches, how it swings, how it secures, and the finish that protects it for years to come.


I use premium Western Red Cedar — highly sought after for its stability and warmth — and rely on traditional methods because they’re proven. Less is more. Good conversation matters. Trust, clarity, and transparency matter even more.


I take on only a limited number of projects each month so you receive the attention a custom piece deserves. Lead time is a couple months, shipping is direct, and pricing is all-inclusive.

Your Project, Step by Step

Start by browsing my gallery. You’ll see custom wood gates I’ve been involved with for more than twenty years, across many project types, homes, and landscapes.


If a style catches your eye — or if you’re simply exploring options — send me a note. Ask your questions, share a bit about the project, and include the best way and time to reach you. No need to have all the details sorted.

A Simple, Clear Path

1. We begin with a quick call.

We review your opening, swing direction, attachment method, access needs, hardware ideas, and the overall look you’re after. Builders often provide photos or drawings; homeowners often start with a rough idea. Either is fine.


2. I create a design board + proposal.

You receive a clean PDF you can print, share, or add notes to. We refine it together — sizing, layout, finish direction, and hardware — until the design feels right.


3. Approve with a simple deposit.

When you’re ready to proceed, I send a short order packet summarizing the plan.

A pre-filled next-day shipping label is emailed to you for the deposit check.

Your deposit is fully refundable for two weeks after it’s deposited.


4. Build schedule + updates.

Once the deposit arrives, I confirm timing and begin the build. If you or your builder need a particular delivery week, I can often tailor to it. You’ll receive updates during key stages.


5. Shipping + arrival.

You receive advance notice as the gate enters final prep. When it ships, tracking is provided so installation can be coordinated with confidence. Your gate arrives ready to install, built to last for years to come.

Our customers praise the great results, expert perspective, and prompt support.
