Fire mitigation does not mean that we come to your house and cut down all your trees. We know that part of your love for your home is your appreciation of the beautiful trees in your yard. We like trees too. Out team has some real personal experience with trees, fire and houses.
What you need to be as safe as you can be is a fire mitigation plan. Out team will work with you to develop a fire mitigation plan that addresses views, road noise, neighbors, privacy, and insurance requirements. We’ll balance fire department concerns, defensible space, and your desire to keep all your trees. Mitigation removes fuels around your house that allow fire to reach your home. These fuels includes: dry ground cover (like pine needles or last fall’s leaves), grass, bushes, brush, and trees. Creating a defensible space around your house where potential fuel is treated, cleared, thinned, or removed is key. As many people in Colorado know, living in or on the edge of a forest, your home is at risk of fire. And as people from the Mountain Shadows and Rockrimmon neighborhoods will tell you, even living miles from the edge of the forest is sometimes not enough of a safety margin.

Please consider fire mitigation – hire our experienced team to make and execute a fire mitigation plan for your home.
