We clear brush, ladder fuels, fence lines, and overgrown lots with brush cutters, chainsaws, and hand tools — no heavy equipment on your land. Cut material is stacked into burn piles you can burn during permit season, or set aside for firewood or habitat if you'd rather keep it. Owner-operated, fully insured, and straight with you about what your property needs.

That work belongs to a licensed tree service with a crane and a climber, and we're glad to point you to one. Knowing our lane is how everything we do gets done right.
Full Zone 0–2 treatment: dead and dying vegetation out, brush cleared, trees limbed up to six feet, spacing opened to standard. Cut to the checklist your inspector carries, with material stacked into burn piles or set aside for firewood as you prefer.
Manzanita, buckbrush, and scrub oak cut at the ground; small-diameter trees thinned so fire can't climb from grass to canopy. Done with brush cutters and chainsaws — good trees and shrubs kept on purpose, not mowed flat.
Fence lines, driveways, and pasture edges cut back and kept passable — for you, your equipment, and the engine that needs to reach your house.
Downed trees bucked and cleared, overgrown lots brought back, material built into proper burn piles or stacked for firewood and habitat. Haul-off is available as a separately quoted add-on when you want it gone.
California requires 100 feet of defensible space around structures in fire hazard zones. Inspectors — and increasingly, insurance carriers — check it in three zones. Here's what each one means on the ground.
Nothing combustible against the structure: no woody plants, no mulch beds, no stacked firewood, clean gutters and decks.
Dead vegetation removed, shrubs spaced and separated, tree limbs up off the ground and away from the roofline.
Grass mowed to four inches, ladder fuels broken up, trees thinned so crowns keep their distance from each other.
A CAL FIRE defensible space notice or a carrier's non-renewal letter usually comes with a deadline measured in weeks. The fix is almost always the same Zone 0–2 checklist, done thoroughly and documented.
