Fire readiness & defensible space for Sonoma County.
Living here means living with wildfire risk. But you don't have to face it unprepared. We build a safety buffer around your home — clearing brush, trimming trees, and reducing the fuel a fire needs to reach you.
The best time to prepare is before the smoke.
Defensible space is proactive protection — for your family, your property, and your peace of mind. If any of these sound like your place, it's time for a free assessment:
- You live in a high fire-risk zone and want to lower your risk
- Brush, weeds, or dry vegetation are building up near your home
- Storms and winds keep leaving debris and fallen branches that fuel fires
- You want your home and family protected before fire season starts
Five layers of defense.
Fire safety isn't one job — it's a system. We build it layer by layer, from the first 100 feet around your home to the seasonal upkeep that keeps it working.
Defensible Space
We clear brush and vegetation within the first 100 feet of your home — a safety buffer that lowers wildfire risk and meets fire code standards.
Thinning & Pruning
We thin canopies and remove ladder fuels, so flames can't climb your trees and spread across the property.
Brush Clearing
Weeds, brush, and debris are wildfire fuel. We remove them — keeping your yard clear, safe, and compliant with Sonoma County fire safety standards.
Fuel Breaks
Strategic clearing creates barriers that slow or redirect a fire's spread — added protection for homes, families, and valuable property.
Ongoing Maintenance
Fire safety isn't a one-time job. Seasonal maintenance keeps your property clear, safe, and ready before wildfire season begins.
What defensible space buys you.
We use proper clearing techniques on every residential and commercial project. Done right, fire readiness pays you back five ways:
- Protects your family first
- Keeps you code compliant
- Lowers fire hazards across the property
- Buys real peace of mind every fire season
- Preserves your property's value
“I called 7 companies and Dino was the only one who picked up. They cleaned up two acres and the property looks beautiful.”
Defensible space, answered.
It's a buffer zone around your home where flammable vegetation has been cleared or reduced — so an approaching fire loses fuel, slows down, and firefighters have a safe place to defend your house. We focus on the first 100 feet around your home.
In many areas, yes — California requires defensible space around homes in fire hazard zones, and local standards apply too. We'll tell you what your property needs to be compliant and do the work to code.
Before fire season — ideally late winter through spring, while vegetation is manageable and crews aren't booked out. Waiting until summer means more dry fuel on the ground and longer lead times.
Ladder fuels are the low branches, shrubs, and brush that let a ground fire climb into the tree canopy — where it spreads fastest. Removing them is one of the most effective things you can do to protect your property.
Yes. We chip the brush, haul off the debris, and leave the property clean. Leaving cut vegetation on the ground would defeat the purpose — it's fuel.
The first clearing does the heavy lifting, but vegetation grows back. We offer seasonal maintenance to keep your defensible space working year after year — most properties need a refresh before each fire season.
It depends on the size of the property and how much fuel needs to come out, so we price each job after a free on-site assessment. Your written estimate is the exact price — no surprises.
