We specializes in working with homeowners to create and maintain buffer zones around properties to enhance their resilience against wildfires. This service typically involves the removal of flammable vegetation and debris, strategic pruning of trees, and the replacement of highly combustible plants with fire-resistant species. We usually start with a Home Assessment and talk with the owner individually, considering local vegetation, terrain, and climatic conditions to design a tailored mitigation strategy. The service aims to reduce the intensity and spread of potential fires near homes and buildings, thereby increasing the chances of structure survival during wildfire events. This proactive approach not only safeguards properties but also assists in the safer deployment of firefighting resources during emergencies.

Throughout the year, we are pleased to offer complimentary chipping services to the communities within Del Norte. This convenient service allows you to reduce hazardous fuels on your property at your own pace, saving you a trip to the dump. While the resulting chips must remain on site, they can be wonderfully repurposed for gardening, mulching, or landscaping projects. Not only do these chips enhance your outdoor space, but they are also much less flammable than the pile of limbs they once were. Take advantage of this great opportunity to keep your property safe and aesthetically pleasing!

Shaded fuels breaks and fuel reduction for forest health focuses on managing and improving forest ecosystems to mitigate wildfire risks to homes and property, plus enhance environmental resilience. This includes thinning overstocked stands of trees, removing dead or dying trees, and clearing underbrush that serves as potential wildfire fuel. Additionally, it employs controlled burns strategically to manage vegetation healthily and sustainably. The goal is to create healthier, more spaced-out trees that can better resist pests, diseases, and fires. By promoting a more diverse and vigorous forest, this service not only reduces the severity of wildfires but also supports biodiversity, improves watershed health, and enhances carbon sequestration, contributing to the overall stability and sustainability of forest environments.
