What We Do

Vegetation Management & Fire Compliance Clearing

We clear brush, weeds, dry grass, small trees, and flammable debris to reduce your wildfire exposure and improve defensible space.

Mulching & Weed Suppression

After clearing, we mulch remaining vegetation to suppress regrowth and keep fire fuel loads low – critical for staying compliant with insurance policies and local ordinances.

Defensible Space Creation

We follow Cal Fire guidelines and insurance requirements for creating and maintaining defensible space around homes and structures – typically a 100-ft clearance zone.

Routine Maintenance Plans

Fire safety isn’t a one-time fix. We offer seasonal and annual maintenance to keep your property compliant, safe, and insurable year-round.

Our Residential & Commercial Fire Clearing Process

1. On-Site Evaluation & Estimate

We walk your property to assess fire risk, vegetation type, and compliance requirements. You’ll receive a clear estimate and fire safety plan.

2. Fire Clearing & Mulching

Our team removes flammable materials and overgrowth using professional equipment. We mulch where needed to help prevent regrowth and erosion.

3. Defensible Space Setup

We ensure clearances around structures match Cal Fire and insurance regulations. This might include tree trimming, brush removal, and ground clearing.

4. Ongoing Fire Safety Maintenance

Sign up for regular visits (quarterly, seasonal, or annual) to keep vegetation under control and maintain your insurance compliance.
