Creating Your Property's Defense Against Wildfire
Three Zones of Protection Designed Specifically for Your Home
Understanding how wildfire behaves around structures helps us create the most effective defense for your property. Each zone serves a specific purpose in protecting your home and requires different management strategies.
The Most Critical Zone: 0-30 Feet from Your Home
The area immediately surrounding your home requires careful attention to detail. We focus on eliminating direct flame contact possibilities while maintaining your landscape's aesthetic appeal. This includes managing ground cover, removing dead material, and creating strategic breaks between plants.
Your Secondary Defense: 30-100 Feet Out
This intermediate zone acts as your property's primary defense against approaching wildfires. We reduce fuel density and eliminate "fire ladders" that could carry flames into the tree canopy, all while preserving healthy trees and maintaining natural appearance.
Extended Protection: 100-200 Feet From Structures
The outer zone helps slow approaching wildfires and provides emergency access. Our management here focuses on breaking up continuous vegetation while maintaining privacy and wildlife habitat.
