Our Mission

An effective defensible space around your home could make the difference in the face of a wildfire. We have the expertise to evaluate your property, create a custom plan to improve it's defenses, and give you the knowledge to keep it fire-resistant for the long haul.

We believe there is no reason a safe landscape cannot be beautiful as well. Our curated selection of fire-resistant plants and groundcovers will keep your property looking great both during fire season and after the threat has passed.  

Whether your home is in Sonoma, Marin, Napa, or elsewhere in the Bay Area, we will put in the work to make it safe from wildfire.​
