We'll Get Your Property Fire Safe

Brush piles up fast out here. One season you're fine, the next your yard looks like it's auditioning for a wildfire. We clear it all out so you don't have to worry about it.

Cal Fire requires 100 feet of defensible space around your home (requirements vary by area). We'll make sure you're good to go before fire season hits. No surprise visits, no fines, no stress.

What We Clear

  • Dead trees and limbs
  • Overgrown brush and undergrowth
  • Fire breaks around your property
  • 100 foot defensible space for Cal Fire compliance
  • Vegetation growing too close to structures
  • Post fire cleanup

Fire Clearance Across Tuolumne & Calaveras Counties

We do fire clearance and brush clearing all across the Sierra Foothills. In Sonora we handle a lot of residential defensible space clearing — getting homes compliant before CAL FIRE inspections hit. Over in Jamestown we see a lot of hillside properties with heavy brush that needs to be cut back for fire breaks.

Up in Twain Harte and the mountain communities, fire clearance is critical — steep terrain, dense tree coverage, and heavy fuel loads make defensible space a serious priority. In Angels Camp and San Andreas we help homeowners and property managers across Calaveras County stay compliant with fire safety requirements. We also serve Columbia, Murphys, Copperopolis, Arnold, Groveland, and all surrounding areas.

If you need brush cleared or defensible space work done anywhere in Tuolumne or Calaveras County, we can get to you. Every estimate is free — just give us a call and we'd be happy to help out!

Fire Clearance FAQs

Every property is different so we price by the project, not by the hour. We come out, walk the property, and give you a free estimate on the spot. No surprises, no watching the clock. Just a simple price and we get to work.
The earlier the better. CAL FIRE inspections ramp up in late spring and most folks want to get ahead of it. We start booking fire clearance jobs as early as February and things fill up fast once the weather warms up. Don't wait until you get a notice — call us early and skip the stress.
You bet! We clear the full perimeter — Zone 0, Zone 1, and Zone 2 — so you're fully compliant with CAL FIRE requirements. We know what the inspectors are looking for and we make sure you're good to go.
All of our cutting line and gear that touches the ground is plastic, so there's no risk of sparks. We also carry pressurized water on every job just to be safe. We take fire safety seriously out here.
