What we do — and what we don't

We do

  • Defensible space clearing to 100 ft (Zones 0–2)
  • Brush and ladder-fuel removal — manzanita, buckbrush, scrub oak
  • Small-tree thinning and limbing in open ground
  • Fence line, driveway, and pasture-edge clearing
  • Storm cleanup — bucking and clearing downed trees
  • Burn piles built and placed for permit-season burning, or material stacked for firewood or habitat
  • Pre-inspection walkthroughs and compliance punch lists

We don't

  • Remove trees near houses, garages, or power lines
  • Climb or do aerial work
  • Take down large hazard trees or heavy leaners
  • Grade, excavate, or do dirt work

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.

Fuel reduction, end to end

DEFENSIBLE SPACE

Inspection-ready clearing

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.

BRUSH & LADDER FUELS

Brush cutting & thinning

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.

LINES & EDGES

Fence line & access clearing

Fence lines, driveways, and pasture edges cut back and kept passable — for you, your equipment, and the engine that needs to reach your house.

CLEANUP

Storm & lot cleanup

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.

PRC 4291 · The 100-foot rule

Defensible space, zone by zone

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.

ZONE 0 ZONE 1 ZONE 2 0–5 ft 5–30 ft 30–100 ft
Zone 0 · 0–5 ft The ember-resistant zone

Nothing combustible against the structure: no woody plants, no mulch beds, no stacked firewood, clean gutters and decks.

Zone 1 · 5–30 ft Lean, clean & green

Dead vegetation removed, shrubs spaced and separated, tree limbs up off the ground and away from the roofline.

Zone 2 · 30–100 ft Reduced fuel zone

Grass mowed to four inches, ladder fuels broken up, trees thinned so crowns keep their distance from each other.

Time-sensitive?

Got an inspection notice or an insurance letter?

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.

Send us the letter and photos of your property. We'll quote against the specific findings, do the work, and leave you with before-and-after photos for your inspector or insurance agent.
