Supporting a healthier, more manageable ecosystem

What Is Fuels Reduction & Weed Abatement?

Fuels reduction refers to the strategic clearing of flammable vegetation—such as dry grass, weeds, brush, and overgrowth—to reduce fire hazards around homes and structures. Weed abatement is the removal and management of invasive and combustible plant materials that can quickly fuel a wildfire.
Our services are tailored to both residential and rural properties and include:

Mowing and clearing dry grasses and brush
Removing invasive or overgrown vegetation
Creating defensible space around structures
Complying with local fire safety regulations

We provide routine maintenance or one-time cleanups, depending on your property’s needs and seasonal fire risks.
