Your Local Gate & Fence Specialist in Westlake Village

Westlake Village

Westlake Village is built around a private lake and across the hills that rise from its shore. The properties here reflect that geography — lakefront estates, gated hillside lots, and neighborhoods where the entrance sets the tone before a visitor reaches the front door. We design, build, and install the aluminum driveway gates, automation systems, intercoms, ornamental ironwork, and pergolas that frame those entrances.

Every project is engineered for the specific conditions of the site, not pulled from a catalog. That means a different gate specification for a lakefront lot than for an exposed hilltop, and a different automation package for a long driveway than for a short one.

Permits and Approvals in Westlake Village

Local Expertise

Gate and fence projects here move through two layers of review — the jurisdiction that governs the parcel, and (in most neighborhoods) the HOA’s architectural committee.

Jurisdiction

The incorporated City of Westlake Village sits in Los Angeles County and handles gate and fence permits through its own planning and building department. Addresses on the Ventura County side of the lake fall within the City of Thousand Oaks and permit through Thousand Oaks instead.

Gate Permit Application

A typical package includes a site plan and elevation drawings showing gate height and design, and — for automated gates — documentation of the operator and safety devices.

HOA Architectural Review

Most neighborhoods sit within an HOA with an architectural committee that reviews gate and fence designs before construction. We prepare HOA-ready submission packages and coordinate directly with the committee on revisions.

Automated Gate Safety

The city may require photoelectric sensors, edge sensors, and emergency access provisions such as a fire department Knox box or key switch. We build to those requirements so the permit passes inspection without rework.

Neighborhoods We Serve in Westlake Village

Service Area

Each neighborhood has its own character and constraints.

The Gated Lake Community

The original Westlake Village development around the private lake. Properties are subject to the lake association’s architectural standards. Gate designs tend toward classic and transitional styles that complement the Mediterranean and traditional architecture.

North Ranch

A mix of hillside and flat lots, many with long driveways. Wind exposure varies by elevation.

He was kind, lovely to work with, professional and trustworthy in every way. When you find someone with this kind of ethic, and such high quality outcomes,  keep their contact info in your "favorites" file. I've worked with Chris and his crew on two different projects now and will continue to do so in the future!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Dealt directly with owner Chris. He is very responsive and professional. Prices are very competitive. The finished product looks and functions great and is so much nicer and more solid than the vinyl gate we replaced. Very high quality gate and hardware. So much more secure than most gates. I feel like I have a side door more than a side gate.  I have already recommended Chris and Westlake Dream Gates and will use them again.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Westlake Dream Gates installed fencing panels on our steep backyard hillside.  It was truly a pleasure to work with Chris!  He is honest, dependable, and very attentive. The materials used are high quality.  He and his crew showed up everyday and cleaned up after.  You can tell that his crew enjoys working with  him.  An overall great experience.  Highly recommend.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. It’s been a month since Westlake Dream Gates created and installed our custom gates (main gate and a second dog gate) and we are still incredibly happy with the decision to work with WDG for this project.  We wanted to go with something sleek, modern, sturdy, eco-friendly, and different from the typical vinyl product in order to update the well-worn wood gates we had before, and WDG delivered on all of those fronts and then some.

Because everything is cut-to-fit on-site, Chris and his team worked with us during the installation process to ensure we got the gate designs we wanted along with managing the specific constraints that the walkway presented for this project.  They were able to accommodate last-minute design needs without compromising the end result.

And the end result has been great!  Our family and neighbors have been giving us compliments about it ever since the install!  The soft-close feature on both gates has been fantastic in that the gates don’t slam shut, reducing the noise that slamming typically makes while preserving the lifespan of the gates—something the old gates could have really benefitted from.  Both gates were also equipped with kick down door stoppers, which makes it a breeze for the pool guy to get his equipment into the backyard without banging the gates in the process.

We highly recommend WDG, Chris, and his team and will definitely be in touch when we decide to update the remainder of our property’s fencing.
