Our services are grounded in the principles outlined by wildfire prevention experts, focusing on reducing fire fuel through strategic vegetation management and landscape modifications.

Our Approach to Building Defensible Spaces

Zone Creation

We implement a two-zone defensible space strategy around your property, each with specific objectives and treatments to reduce wildfire risks:

Zone 1

 Extends 30 feet from buildings, structures, decks, etc. Here, we focus on removing all dead plants, grass, and weeds, trimming trees to keep branches a minimum of 10 feet from other trees, and relocating wood piles into Zone 2.

Zone 2

Extends from 30 to 100 feet out from buildings and is designed for reduced fuel and strategic landscaping. In this zone, we ensure vertical and horizontal spacing between grass, trees, and shrubs to prevent fire from climbing and spreading.

Selective Vegetation Management

Our team carefully selects which trees and plants to remove or trim, focusing on maintaining or improving the landscape's health while reducing fire hazards. We remove dead or dying vegetation, thin out trees and bushes to reduce fire intensity, and choose fire-resistant plants for landscaping.

Regular Maintenance

Defensible space is not a one-time task but an ongoing commitment. Western Sierra Tree Service Inc provides regular maintenance services to keep your defensible space effective year-round, adapting to changing conditions and vegetation growth.
