Defensible Space Services
Our defensible space services are designed to reduce wildfire threats by clearing combustible vegetation and creating protective zones around homes and buildings. We bring precision, care, and full compliance with local fire safety standards.

Fire Clearance
Fire clearance is the critical first step toward protecting your property. We remove dry brush, dead trees, and dense undergrowth to stop fire in its tracks before it can reach your home.

Vegetation Management
Proper vegetation management keeps your landscape healthy while minimizing fire hazards. We selectively remove and thin out plants, trees, and brush, improving both your property’s safety and appearance.

Wildfire Prevention
Our wildfire prevention services are focused on proactive property management, not reactive repairs. Through strategic clearing and vegetation control, we help shield homes and businesses from potential disaster.
