Zone 0 is a major current driver for San Diego homeowners, but it is one part of broader fire-conscious perimeter planning.
Local Zone 0 guidance is evolving
Wildfire guidance, defensible-space rules, and insurance pressure keep shifting how San Diego homeowners choose exterior materials. We read the perimeter through that lens without giving up privacy, access, or curb appeal.

03 · Zone 0
Plan the first five feet around your home
Zone 0 is the five feet closest to the home, where attached fences and gates matter most. We plan that near-structure perimeter so the fire concern is addressed without giving up privacy, access, or how the property works.
Before Vinyl fence and dry vegetation sit within 5 ft of the structure-often restricted in WUI zones.
Identify Zone 0 boundary marked. Hazards flagged: combustible vinyl fencing, dead foliage, dry mulch.
Clear All combustible materials removed. Ground prepped for non-combustible installation.
Complete Planned around Zone 0 and applicable site requirements with noncombustible material options where appropriate.

Pick the property condition. We point you to the likely material family, the questions worth resolving, and the right service and estimate path—no compliance or performance promises.
Where to start
Steel & Welded-Wire
Non-combustible steel and welded-wire runs step down slopes and hold the line at canyon and open-space edges—planned around grade, views, and a fire-conscious perimeter.

Common Questions
Everything you need to know about fire-resistant outdoor construction.
Fire hazard zones and requirements vary by neighborhood and jurisdiction. Check local hazard
maps and confirm requirements with your local AHJ. We can help interpret requirements for your
property.
Costs vary by materials, layout, access, and scope. We provide a detailed proposal
after a site review and design selection.
Timelines vary by scope, access, permitting, and weather. We provide a schedule
after a site review and scope confirmation.
We can assist with permits and inspections when required. Requirements vary by
jurisdiction, and we coordinate with the local AHJ during the planning phase.
Maintenance depends on the finish system and site conditions. In most cases,
periodic cleaning is sufficient, but follow manufacturer guidance for the
specific product you choose.
