OUR SERVICES
Wildfire Risk Reduction, From Your Walls to Your Property Line
Every property is different. We start with what's closest to your home, then work outward based on your land, your vegetation, and your goals.
01
Wildfire Assessment
Not sure where to start? We'll walk your property, explain what we find, and give you an estimate for any work it needs. If no work is needed, you'll receive a Wildfire Assessment Certificate from Joe Grover, an NFPA Certified Wildfire Mitigation Specialist, that you can send to your insurance company.
02
The Immediate Zone (0 to 5 feet)
The area right against your home matters most, because embers can ignite what's next to your walls. Replace wood mulch and other combustibles with rock or hard surfaces. Clear roofs and gutters of needles and leaves. Trim branches back from your roof. Remove juniper and other highly flammable plants.
03
Defensible Space (5 to 30 feet)
We keep this area lean, clean, and green so fire has less to feed on near your home. Prune trees and shrubs. Remove or replace flammable plants. Clear dead leaves, needles, and twigs. Mow grass short before fire season.
04
The Outer Zone (30 to 100+ feet)
Farther out, the goal is to slow a fire down and keep it on the ground. Thin dense trees and shrubs. Limb up lower branches. Remove ladder fuels, the low growth that lets fire climb into trees. Reduce heavy brush and woody debris.
05
Home Hardening
Many homes ignite from embers rather than direct flames. Hardening closes off the places they can get in. Screen attic and foundation vents. Screen the underside of decks. Upgrade to fire-resistant roofing, siding, and decking.
06
Weed and Brush Control
Invasive weeds and overgrown brush add fuel and spread quickly. We clear them and help keep them from taking back over, including cheatgrass and other problem plants common in Central Oregon. Where it's the right tool, our licensed team also provides targeted herbicide treatment.
07
Debris Removal
We don't leave the fuel behind. We haul away cut material so your property is left clean.
08
Fire-Resistant Landscaping
A safer property can still look good. We design and install landscaping that uses fire-resistant plants and materials, with the right plant in the right place.
09
Ongoing Maintenance
Defensible space doesn't last on its own. OSU Extension notes that treatments lose effectiveness within a few years as vegetation grows back. Our annual maintenance visits keep your property in shape year after year.
