Quoting starts with the free aerial check below: your parcel's hazard zone, fire history, and the defensible-space zones drawn around your buildings, graded into a worksheet you can walk with. Clearing goes to the crew the ground calls for, and cut material is stacked into burn piles or set aside for firewood, your call.
See what wildfire-risk satellites see on your parcel — hazard zone, fire history, and defensible-space zones. Takes a minute, costs nothing.
Not an official inspection and not an insurance or compliance document — it's the honest picture of the parcel, which is where every good clearing job starts.
