Creating Defensible Space That Works
Fire protection services require understanding both fire behavior and landscape management. We create defensible space that functions effectively during fire emergencies while maintaining the professional appearance your property deserves. Our approach combines strategic vegetation removal with smart plant selection and irrigation modifications, designing Zone 1 (0-30 feet from structures) and Zone 2 (30-100 feet) to work together as an integrated fire prevention system.
Understanding Fire Prevention Requirements
Knowing how to protect your house from fire begins with understanding the requirements for defensible space and effective vegetation management. California law requires property owners to maintain defensible space around structures, with specific guidelines for plant selection, spacing, and maintenance practices.
Our fire prevention approach addresses both immediate hazards and long-term risk reduction, helping property owners understand their obligations and maintain compliant defensible space through changing seasons and weather conditions.
