3. Living in a warm, sunny climate like Santa
Barbara has an obvious appeal to us all. But,
with comfortable temperatures and
infrequent rainy days comes a serious reality
that can’t be ignored. Drought conditions
leave landscapes dry, turning once lush
grasses and shrubs into veritable kindling
that can help fire spread, well, like wildfire.
Tongue in cheek aside, controlling dried
weeds, tall grass, and scrub is critical in
redirecting the spread of fire and ensuring
the safety and protection of buildings in its
path.

5. Understanding the risk for wildfire and how to
protect your investment is crucial for owners in this
region. Therefore, a Santa Barbara landscape
contractor is an ideal partner in developing a
strategy for keeping wildfires away from your home
or ranch.

8. Employing the same tools used
to keep your garden and lawn
looking beautiful, a landscape
crew can quickly and
effectively reduce and
eliminate the dry plant material
that might otherwise allow fire
to get too close to your
building.

11. Through working with local
municipalities’ fire departments to
perform targeted clearing of brush
and scrub, we have learned quite a
bit about their approach to fire
prevention and safety. We combine
their standards for clearance offsets
and building envelopes with

14. our knowledge of plants—
specifically which are most likely to
spread fire—to create guidelines
that inform how we approach fire
safety for our private clients. Upon
investigating your property, we can
develop a program for fire
prevention that ensures the safety
and protection of your home or
business.
