Fire Clearance & Brush Clearing

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. For the full breakdown of all three zones, see our defensible space page and our plain-English guide to the CAL FIRE requirements.

Not sure where your property stands? Book a free defensible space inspection. We walk your property the same way an inspector would and show you exactly what needs to happen. You can also take our free 2-minute quiz for a quick self-check first.

What We Clear

Call it brush clearing or brush removal, it's the same job to us: cut it, chip it, or haul it until your property is clean.

• Small trees and limbs
• Overgrown brush and undergrowth
• Brush removal, chipping, and hauling
• Fire breaks and firebreak cutting around your property
• Poison oak and blackberry thickets, cut and hauled
• 100 foot defensible space for Cal Fire compliance
• Vegetation growing too close to structures
• Post fire cleanup

Fuel Reduction & Vegetation Management

If you're a Fire Safe Council, RCD, HOA, or property manager, this is the same work under its official names: hazardous fuels reduction, fuels treatment, and vegetation management. We completed a 10-property defensible space contract under a Cal Fire grant with the Tuolumne County Fire Safe Council and TCRCD, so we know how grant funded work runs: clear scopes, photo documentation, and done-by dates that actually get hit. See our agency and grant work page for capabilities and references.

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. We do so much work there that Sonora has its own page: see brush clearing in Sonora. 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!
