Our Process

How Fire Mitigation Works

01

Site Assessment

We walk the property and evaluate both the landscape and the structure—identifying vegetation risks, combustible materials attached to the home, and any county compliance gaps.

02

Mitigation Plan

We define the full scope: which vegetation to clear, which structural elements to replace or upgrade (fences, soffits, decks, mulch beds), and haul-off and disposal needs.

03

Grounds & Structural Work

We handle defensible space cleanup and structural hardening together—clearing fuel, replacing combustible fencing with metal, upgrading soffits, converting mulch to rock, and rebuilding as needed.

04

Final Walkthrough

We review the completed work with you, confirm compliance items are addressed, and leave the property clean and fire-ready.

Fire Mitigation
Fire mitigation in Boulder County goes far beyond brush cutting and tree trimming. Since the Marshall Fire, the county has introduced new requirements for homeowners—and Greater Boulder helps you meet them. On the grounds side, we create defensible space by removing deadfall, clearing brush, reducing ladder fuels, and replacing combustible mulch near foundations with rock. On the construction side, we replace wood fences where they connect to the house with fire-resistant metal panels, remove combustible porches and decks and replace them with concrete, swap wood soffits for fire-rated cement board, and install fire mesh in soffit vents to prevent sparks from entering your attic. This work spans both our groundskeeping and construction capabilities—giving you a single contractor to handle the full job rather than coordinating multiple crews.

Why Our Fire Mitigation Stands Out

Full-Scope Fire Mitigation

We handle both the vegetation cleanup and the structural hardening—no need to hire separate crews for landscape and construction work.

Post-Marshall Fire Expertise

We know the new Boulder County requirements and help homeowners meet compliance for fences, soffits, decks, and defensible space.

Groundskeeping + Construction

From removing brush to pouring concrete pads and installing metal panels, our team bridges both sides of the work.

Local Knowledge

We understand Boulder County terrain, wind patterns, and seasonal fuel buildup near open space and canyon corridors.

Common Questions About Fire Mitigation

Boulder County now requires homeowners to address combustible materials attached to their homes—like wood fences that touch the structure, unprotected soffits, and flammable decking. We help with all of these upgrades.

Defensible space is the area around your home where vegetation and combustible materials are managed to reduce wildfire risk—including clearing brush, removing deadfall, and replacing mulch with rock near the foundation.

Both. We replace wood fences with metal panels, swap combustible decks and porches for concrete, upgrade soffits to fire-rated cement board, and install fire mesh in vents—alongside all the vegetation and cleanup work.

Large tree removal may require specialized, licensed arborist services depending on location and scope. We can discuss options after a site visit.
