More Than Meets the Eye: The Creative Culture Behind Harwell Design

Harwell Design is built around the idea of creativity first. We make sure that everyone in our company is able to express themselves artistically. Fun fact about Harwell Design; many of our employees are DJ’s and perform at local venues (Including Harwell Design). We have carpenters, musicians furniture builders and painters! We love being able to allow our employees opportunities express their talents whenever possible. If you make a visit to our showroom you will see the art all around our shop. We believe in the talent of our employees and try to let them express that as much as possible. Harwell Design is much more than a fence and gate company! Schedule a visit and find out for yourself! 

At Harwell Design & Build, we are known for building custom fences, gates, reclaimed wood projects, and outdoor living spaces throughout Los Angeles. But there is much more to our company than craftsmanship alone. What truly sets Harwell Design apart is the creative culture that drives everything we do.

From the beginning, Harwell Design was founded on the belief that creativity should never be limited. We encourage every member of our team to bring their unique talents, ideas, and artistic vision into their work. While our clients often see the finished fences and gates, what they may not realize is that behind every project is a team of artists, musicians, designers, builders, and creative thinkers who are passionate about their craft.

One of the most unique aspects of Harwell Design is the diverse range of talents within our team. Many of our employees are not only skilled builders but also active artists in their own communities. Some perform as DJs at local events and venues, while others are painters, furniture makers, woodworkers, musicians, and designers. This creative energy influences everything we create and helps us approach projects from a fresh perspective.

We believe that great design comes from people who are inspired. By giving our team the freedom to express themselves artistically, we create an environment where innovation thrives. This creative mindset allows us to develop custom solutions, think outside the box, and design projects that stand out from ordinary fence and gate installations.

Visitors to our showroom quickly discover that creativity is woven into every corner of our space. Artwork, reclaimed wood displays, custom furniture, and unique design features reflect the talents and personalities of the people who work here. Our showroom is more than a place to view products—it's a creative environment where ideas come to life and inspiration is encouraged.

This artistic approach directly benefits our clients. When homeowners come to us with a unique vision, we don't simply build a standard fence or gate. Instead, we collaborate, brainstorm, and create custom solutions that reflect their style, property, and goals. Whether it's a modern horizontal fence, a custom steel gate, reclaimed wood installation, artistic wall feature, or outdoor living enhancement, we bring creativity into every stage of the process.

At Harwell Design, we understand that the best projects happen when craftsmanship and creativity work together. Our team's diverse backgrounds and talents allow us to approach every project with fresh ideas and attention to detail. The result is work that is not only functional and durable but also visually striking and uniquely personal.

We are proud to be more than a fence and gate company. We are a community of creators who believe that great design starts with imagination. Every project we build reflects our commitment to quality craftsmanship, artistic expression, and innovative thinking.

If you're looking for a company that combines creativity, design expertise, and exceptional craftsmanship, we invite you to visit our showroom and experience the Harwell Design difference for yourself. Call 310-736-2674 to schedule a visit and discover how we can help bring your ideas to life.

I grew up building custom furniture in Taos, New Mexico with my Dad. We did it all. When we moved west we liked the weather and decided to build outdoors. Over the years we met a bunch of skilled craftsmen who like making fences and gates with us.
