Defensible Space and Vegetation Management

CalFire requires 100 feet of cleared, managed vegetation around every structure in a fire hazard zone. We make it happen and we document it.

How It Works

Ember Guard crews clear vegetation to CalFire defensible space standards across all three zones. Zone 0 covers the first 5 feet around your structure with non-combustible materials. Zone 1 extends from 0 to 30 feet with lean, clean, and green landscaping. Zone 2 covers 30 to 100 feet with reduced and spaced vegetation that slows fire spread.

We handle the full scope: grass cut to 3 inches or shorter within 100 feet of structures, dead vegetation and brush removed, tree branches trimmed 6 feet from ground level, all debris hauled off-site, and complete before and after photo documentation for your records, your insurance company, or your fire inspector.
