The Details

Community Projects

Jefferson County's Wildfire Resiliency Code took effect July 1, 2026. Check with the county on how it applies to your community.

Insurance Conversations

Documentation may help homeowners in conversations with their insurers. Coverage and pricing decisions are theirs. Ask your agent what they accept.

What Blazeguard Provides for HOAs

From the first walk through to finished work.

Community Wildfire Risk Assessment

We walk the community with the board and give you a written scope and a phased quote.

Common Area Fuel Reduction

Common areas and greenbelts often hold the most fuel. We reduce it with machine work and coordinate hand work as needed.

Roadway and Entry Corridor Clearance

We reduce fuel along shared roads and entry corridors.

Shared Neighborhood Projects

When neighbors coordinate one project, mobilization can be shared across properties. Ask us how that works for your community.

Before and After Photos for Every Participating Property

Each participating homeowner gets before and after photos of their property, and the HOA gets a record of the project.

How It Works

How We Build Your Defensible Space

Defensible space is planned in three zones around the house, starting where ignition risk is highest. We handle machine-accessible fuel reduction and coordinate detailed hand work through a specialist partner.

The goal is not a bare yard. It is a buffer that lowers fire intensity near the home. Zones are general guidance, not a guarantee.

30–100 ft
5–30 ft
0–5 ft
Zone 10–5 ft

Immediate Zone

Keep the first 5 feet free of things that burn. Mostly hand work, coordinated through our partner.

Zone 25–30 ft

Intermediate Zone

Thin and space trees and shrubs, and remove dead vegetation.

Zone 330–100 ft

Extended Zone

Reduce brush and ladder fuels and space trees. Most machine work happens here.
