Protect Your Home with Fire-Safe Landscaping & Defensible Space

Serving Santa Barbara, Ventura, and Los Angeles Counties

Protect Your Property and Restore the Environment with Fire-Wise Landscaping. Our landscaping services are designed to enhance wildfire resilience while restoring vital habitats and ecosystems. We specialize in maintaining the fire resiliency system's health and reducing its threat, while providing valuable native habitat.

We can help you stay safe and support local ecosystems with the following services:   

Weed Abatement: We remove overgrown vegetation to reduce fire risks.  Strategic Grazing: We use grazing techniques to manage vegetation and lower fuel loads.  Removal of Invasive Plants: We control invasive nonnative species that create heavier fire fuel loads. 

Defensible Space Creation: We design and maintain clear, fire-resistant spaces around your property.

Native Fire-Resistant Plants: We incorporate fire-resistant native plants that not only slow the spread of wildfires but also promote healthier ecosystems and support the biodiversity they provide. 

Our expert staff ecologists guide every project to ensure that habitat restoration aligns with fire mitigation efforts and fire codes. We also offer ongoing maintenance to keep your property safe throughout the year.
