Firescaping

Many of California’s native plants evolved with fire, and we can create beautiful fire-resilient native habitat gardens while complying with local WUI (Wildland Urban Interface) ordinances and insurance requirements. Combined with home hardening, metal fencing, and a 5’ fire-resistant Zone 0 perimeter around the house, careful plant spacing and maintenance can help to create defensible space around your home.
