What is Defensible Space?

It's the buffer you create between a building on your property and the grass, trees, shrubs, or any wildland area that surround it. Protect your family, home and property by creating and maintaining defensible space. The likelihood of facing a catastrophic wildland fire in California is a harsh reality. Creating defensible space is essential to improving your home's chances of surviving a wildfire. It can also give firefighters the upper hand when defending your home from fire. Conversely, defensible space can help to protect the wildland from a structure fire. More defensible space tips: Ready for wild fire?

"I contacted Davis Tree Management to do some defensible space work at my property in Alpine Meadows. After accepting JD's bid, I inquired when was the earliest that he could do the work. Amazingly, he said 8:30 the next morning! His crew was fast, professional, and courteous. They also cleaned up nicely, stacking the wood to the side of the property and removing all debris. Top service on all fronts -- highly recommended."
