Wildland Fuels Management
Mechanical Forest Fuels Treatment
Does your property have defensible space?
Effective Jan 1, 2008, California requires property owners living in areas with high fire hazard severity to have 100ft of reduced vegetation surrounding any home. We specialize in wildfire hazard reduction. Our Fuels Management program offers a full suite of hazardous fuels reduction options including mechanical thinning, brush mastication, hand-thinning, and pile-burning.
