Lot Clearing

Defensible Space Clearing

Summer fire risk in Butte County isn't seasonal talk — it's the reason defensible space rules exist. We clear the zones around a structure to open the space between fuel and the house, working to whatever standard your insurance carrier or fire inspector has cited.

What’s included

  • Zone 0 cleared to bare, non-combustible ground near the structure
  • Ladder fuels and low branches removed from Zones 1 and 2
  • Dry grass and brush cut back along fence lines and slopes
  • Photo documentation you can send to your carrier or inspector

How we run the job

  1. 01

    Review the notice

    If you have a carrier letter or inspection report, we scope the work to exactly what it requires.

  2. 02

    Clear near the structure

    The first five feet cleared to bare ground, no vegetation touching the house.

  3. 03

    Open the outer zones

    Spacing widened and ladder fuels removed further out from the structure.

  4. 04

    Document

    Photos taken zone by zone so you have proof of the work completed.

Defensible Space Clearing questions

Defensible space follows specific zone requirements around the structure rather than clearing a whole parcel evenly.
