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.
Immediate Zone
Keep the first 5 feet free of things that burn. Mostly hand work, coordinated through our partner.
Intermediate Zone
Thin and space trees and shrubs, and remove dead vegetation.
Extended Zone
Reduce brush and ladder fuels and space trees. Most machine work happens here.
