Services
Practical work.
A better-prepared property.
Most of what makes a property vulnerable is fuel: needles in the gutters, deadfall against the shed, brush crowding the treeline. We clear it, thin what is too dense and handle the debris within the agreed scope of your quote.
Our work is guided by FireSmart Canada's Home Ignition Zone principles. We are not certified by, endorsed by or affiliated with FireSmart Canada.
- 01
Pine needle and debris clearing
We remove pine needles, deadfall and combustible debris that collect on roofs and gutters and against homes, decks, sheds and fences.
- 02
Tree limbing and pruning
We prune and limb lower branches and take out ladder fuels — low vegetation and branches that can help fire climb from the ground into tree crowns.
- 03
Thinning and conifer spacing
We thin crowded shrubs and small trees, and space conifers, so fire has less continuous fuel to move through — the defensible space work that matters most on acreages.
- 04
Brush clearing and vegetation management
Brush cutting and vegetation control along driveways, fence lines and around outbuildings, on urban lots and rural acreages alike.
- 05
Firewood relocation and property cleanup
We move firewood stacks away from structures, remove deadfall and brush piles and tidy the yard debris the work creates, with on-site wood chipping or hauling arranged within the agreed scope of your quote.
- 06
Annual maintenance visits
Vegetation grows back. Annual maintenance visits keep cleared areas and defensible space from filling in again.
The Home Ignition Zone
Where the work happens
Distance from the house changes what needs doing. Select a zone to see what we focus on.
Simplified illustration — not to scale.
Immediate · 0–1.5 metres
The ground and surfaces touching your home.
- Clear needles, leaves and debris from roofs, gutters, decks and against walls.
- Keep this strip free of shrubs, bark mulch, stored firewood and anything that burns.
- Wind-blown embers can ignite combustible material close to the home.
Intermediate · 1.5–10 metres
The working area around the home.
- Space trees and remove ladder fuels to reduce the chance of fire climbing into tree canopies.
- Prune lower branches and thin dense shrubs and saplings.
- Keep grass short and remove deadfall and brush piles.
Extended · 10–30 metres
The wider property, where fire behaviour is slowed.
- Thin the forest and space conifers to break up continuous fuel.
- Remove accumulated deadfall, downed limbs and heavy brush.
- Reduce fuel continuity and potential wildfire intensity farther from the home.
Based on the general principles described by FireSmart Canada's Home Ignition Zone guidance. We are not certified by or affiliated with FireSmart Canada.

Three steps, start to finish.
- 1
Tell us about your property
Call, text, email, or use the form to prepare an email. Describe the property and what concerns you.
- 2

We review the property, walk through what should be done and confirm the work and price in writing.
