WHAT WE DO

Defensible space is a safety buffer created around a property to reduce the risk of wildfire damage. This concept is crucial in areas prone to wildfires, where homes are surrounded by flammable vegetation.

Creating defensible space involves managing two key zones. 

The first zone, usually within 30 feet of the home, requires meticulous vegetation management. This includes choosing and maintaining fire-resistant plants, removing dead or dying vegetation, and regularly clearing roofs and gutters of debris. The aim is to establish a lean, clean, and green area that is less likely to catch fire from airborne embers.

The second zone, generally 30 to 100 feet from the home (or up to the property line), focuses on reducing fuel sources. This involves creating both horizontal and vertical spacing between plants to slow the spread of fires and decreasing the overall number of potential fuel sources.
