Sacramento's Fire Resistant Defensible Zone 0  Experts

Get Your Property Zone 0 Compliant Before Inspections Start

Stay Compliant. Protect Your Home.


California’s new wildfire hardening laws require more than good intentions—they demand action. By 2026, homes in Sacramento and surrounding cities must replace combustible fencing within five feet of any structure and create a defensible space that reaches up to 100 feet. Failing to comply can mean hefty fines, insurance issues, and increased risk to your family and property.



At Summit Fence Inc., we make compliance easy. Our local team designs and installs non‑combustible fences and helps homeowners, ranchers and HOAs prepare for Zone 0, 1 and 2 requirements. We’ve been building Sacramento’s fences since 2010—let us help you upgrade your property and safeguard your investment.

Why Homeowner Compliance Matters now...

State Enforcement is LIVE:

New regulations went into effect on January 1, 2026. Fines range from $100 to $500 per day.

The city or county can contract the work out and bill you later, don't risk their inflated prices.


Insurance & Resale Benefits:
Homes with ember‑resistant fencing and defensible space often qualify for insurance discounts.

We'll help you document the process so you have the best chance at discounts.


Safeguard your investment:
Your home is the biggest investment you've ever made, and one small fire can be devastating.

Our expert fencing skills will quickly and precisely solve this newfound headache.

What you need to know about Zone 0

  • Zone 0: The first 0–5 ft requires non‑combustible fencing and hardscape.
  • Zones 1 & 2: From 5 ft to 100 ft, you must reduce fuel by spacing plants, clearing debris, and limiting grass height.
