Defensive Landscaping &
Total Property Care

California's Public Resources Code 4291 requires 100 feet of defensible space around structures in fire-hazard zones, which includes most of Mendocino County. We clear vegetation, limb trees, and reduce fuel loads to meet or exceed CAL FIRE standards.

Pricing depends on parcel size, vegetation density, and access. We provide free on-site estimates with a written scope. Most residential properties fall between a typical range we'll confirm during your free estimate.

Yes. We document before/after conditions and provide written confirmation of work performed, which homeowners can keep on file for CAL FIRE inspections and insurance records.

Often yes. California insurers — including those participating in the state's Safer from Wildfires program — increasingly require documented defensible space to issue or renew policies in fire-hazard zones. We provide before/after photos and a written work summary you can share with your insurer. We can't promise specific discounts or approvals, but documentation is what most insurance companies ask to see.

Mendocino County and Lake County, including Ukiah, Redwood Valley, Potter Valley, Willits, Hopland, Lakeport, and Clearlake.

Most jobs start within one to two weeks of estimate approval. Fire-season urgency requests are prioritized.

We're a local Mendocino County business (Bus. License #137103) carrying general liability insurance and workers' compensation. We're currently in the process of adding a C-27 California Landscaping Contractor's license — that's the state-issued credential for landscaping contractors, separate from our local business license.

Three things at once: your property is materially safer when fire season hits, your insurance company has the before/after records they ask for, and the work is off your list for the year. Licensed crew, CAL FIRE-standard work, documented results — that's the whole point. Fewer things on your mind, not more.
