You deserve peace of mind.

Clear the overgrowth. Be ready for fire season.

Vegetation overgrowth around your property doesn’t just look bad, it’s a fire hazard.

Overgrown brush and damaged trees around your property look bad and prevent you from enjoying your home. Messy vegetation is annoying, but that’s not the worst of it.

Every year in the North State fire season rolls around and if the defensible space isn’t cleared, you’re at risk of losing your home.

Overgrowth cleared

It can be overwhelming to look out of your kitchen window and see the jungle out there. When the vegetation is thinned and the land is cleared it transforms your home. Your backyard becomes a park!

Property protection

Your property is protected when you meet the Cal Fire requirements for defensible space.

“Adequate defensible space acts as a barrier to slow or halt the progress of fire that would otherwise engulf your property. It also helps ensure the safety of firefighters defending your home. Defensible space is the first line of defense of your home against wildfire.” - Cal Fire website

Fire season ready

Brush removal and tree clearing from the defensible space around your property ensures you’re ready for wildfire season.

What is defensible space?

Defensible space, as defined by Cal Fire, is a critical concept in wildfire management and home protection. It refers to the area around a home or structure that is deliberately designed and maintained to reduce the risk of wildfire damage. The primary goal of defensible space is to create a buffer zone that can slow down or stop the spread of wildfires and protect the structure and its occupants.

How can I protect my property?

Protect your property by implementing these key elements:

  1. Clearance: Vegetation, dead plants, and other flammable materials should be removed or reduced within the defensible space zone. This typically involves brush removal and tree thinning.

  2. Firebreaks: Creating firebreaks, such as driveways, gravel paths, or cleared areas, can help impede the advance of a wildfire, making it easier for firefighters to defend the property.

  3. Pruning: Trees should be pruned to remove low-hanging branches, or ladder fuel, that could act as a ladder for fires to reach the canopy.

  4. Roof and Eaves: Keep roofs and eaves clear of debris and install spark arresters to prevent embers from igniting the structure.

  5. Fuel Reduction: Store firewood, propane tanks, and other combustibles at a safe distance from the home.

By establishing defensible space, homeowners and communities can reduce the likelihood of their properties being consumed by wildfires and improve the safety of both residents and firefighters during a wildfire event. Cal Fire and other wildfire agencies provide guidelines and resources to help property owners create and maintain effective defensible spaces, which are essential in fire-prone regions like California.
