Protect what matters most: your family, and your home.

Wildfire risk across Colorado is rising—and insurance companies are paying attention and charging you for that risk. Whether you're in Morrison, Conifer, Evergreen, or the surrounding foothill communities, proactive wildfire mitigation is no longer optional.

What Is Wildfire Mitigation?

Wildfire mitigation is the process of reducing fuel sources around your home to slow or stop the spread of fire.

This includes removing:

What We Remove

  • Dead trees and branches
  • Overgrown brush and vegetation
  • Ladder fuels (low branches that allow fire to climb trees)
  • Dry grasses and ground debris (slash)

The goal is to create defensible space—giving firefighters a better chance to protect your home and reducing the likelihood of ignition in the first place.

Insurance & Compliance

Wildfire mitigation is increasingly tied to insurance eligibility and premiums. We're building toward providing property mitigation summaries, before/after documentation, and zone-based reporting. This helps support conversations with insurance providers and gives you proof of the work completed.

Ongoing Maintenance Plans

Wildfire mitigation isn't one-and-done. After your initial cleanup, most properties require annual or seasonal maintenance to stay compliant and protected. We offer:

Recurring cleanup plans
Priority scheduling before fire season
Discounted maintenance visits
