Modern Fence & Deck plans and installs perimeter fencing, security and access gates, and walls for commercial and multifamily properties across San Diego County — aluminum, steel, gabion, and block. A licensed contractor working the county since 2020, operating as Geranium Street USA, Inc. dba Modern Fence & Deck.
We work with property managers, HOAs, developers, general contractors, and multifamily owners on perimeter and access work — from a single security gate to a phased, multi-property program.
On occupied multifamily and commercial sites the perimeter goes in without shutting the property down. The runway below shows how a phased install is sequenced — site walk, staging, fence runs around occupied buildings, then gate and access commissioning.
Commercial and multifamily perimeters take heavy use over long service lives. Aluminum, steel, gabion, and block are chosen and detailed around the site — not sold as maintenance-free.
Steel offers strength, rigidity, and a substantial architectural presence where security and permanence matter. Aluminum brings coastal corrosion resistance and lower maintenance for lighter-weight perimeter and privacy runs. Gabion and masonry block add mass and a durable, low-upkeep wall option. Performance depends on design, materials, installation, exposure, and AHJ review.
Finish systems are selected around site exposure. Near the coast and in canyon-adjacent settings, coating systems, powder coat, galvanizing where appropriate, hardware choices, drainage, and realistic maintenance expectations are planned upfront so the assembly holds up in salt-air and high-exposure environments.
Properly protected metal and masonry perimeters are designed for lower long-term maintenance than combustible fencing — with corrosion protection, finish planning, and refinish cycles set to the site conditions. Maintenance expectations are documented rather than promised away.
A commercial vehicle gate is more than a leaf and two posts. The cross-section below shows how the steel frame, hinge post and footing, operator and access-control zone, and pedestrian egress hardware fit together. Actual sizes, footings, and hardware are engineered and documented per project.
From first site walk to scheduled phases, the scope is written down before crews mobilize.
We walk the property, review existing conditions, layout, access, and exposure, and confirm what the perimeter and gates need to do.
You receive a written scope covering materials, finish systems, gates, wall connections, and phase boundaries — the basis for the estimate.
Certificate of insurance and any contract-required documentation are provided per contract before work begins.
Work is sequenced into scheduled phases around occupancy and other trades, so the property keeps functioning through the install.
For commercial and multifamily communities adjacent to the wildland-urban interface (WUI), non-combustible perimeter materials are worth planning early. We take a fire-conscious approach to material and layout selection, and defer to the authority having jurisdiction (AHJ — your local fire authority or building department) on defensible-space requirements. See our Zone 0 fencing overview and technical data for the documentation behind these material choices.
Tell us about the property or portfolio. Final recommendations and pricing depend on site conditions, material selection, access, gates, wall connections, documentation needs, phasing, AHJ review, and written scope.
Yes. We are a licensed contractor (CSLB #955154) and are set up to work as a fencing, gate, and wall subcontractor on commercial and multifamily projects. We work from your plans and written scope, coordinate scheduling around other trades, and provide documentation as required by the contract.
Yes. A certificate of insurance is available per contract. Specific coverage limits, additional insured requirements, and documentation are confirmed as part of the written scope before work begins.
Yes. For occupied multifamily and commercial properties, we can plan phased installs that keep access, egress, and resident circulation in mind. Sequencing, staging, and phase boundaries are set in the written scope so the work fits around occupancy.
Yes. We work with HOA boards and property managers on perimeter repaint, refinish, and replace cycles. We assess existing fencing and walls on site, document condition, and provide a written scope so the board can plan the work and budget.
We focus on commercial and multifamily perimeter fencing, gates, and wall work rather than one-off small repairs. The right fit is usually a full run, a security or access gate, a multi-property program, or a phased perimeter replacement. Tell us the property and scope and we will confirm whether it is a fit during the site walk.
We install aluminum, steel, gabion, and masonry block for commercial and multifamily perimeters. Material and finish systems are selected around the site — security needs, coastal or canyon exposure, span and gate requirements, and any AHJ review — so the assembly fits the duty cycle.

Strength, rigidity, and a substantial architectural presence for security-conscious commercial and multifamily perimeters.
Controlled AccessVehicle and pedestrian gates — swing and slide — with hardware and access provisions scoped to the site.
Wall SectionsStone-basket and masonry block walls for grade transitions, screening, and fence-to-wall connections along the perimeter.
Also available for commercial perimeters: aluminum fencing, block walls, and landscape rock. For fire-conscious material planning, see Zone 0 fencing and technical data.
