Forestry Mulching & Wildfire Mitigation in Colorado Springs, CO

El Paso County's wildland-urban interface is some of the most closely watched in the state, and for good reason. West-side properties sit against steep, oak-covered slopes; north-end properties sit in ponderosa that runs unbroken toward the Palmer Divide. In both cases the fuel does not stop at the property line, so mitigation that only addresses the twenty feet around the house is doing about half the job.\n\nWhat we do here is the same prescription that works everywhere on the Eastern Slope, applied to specific ground: clean the zone immediately around the structures, remove the ladder fuels next, and thin outward so crowns are no longer continuous. On the oak slopes that mostly means grinding thickets. In the ponderosa it means selective thinning and taking out the dead.\n\nIf your insurer has asked for documentation of mitigation work, tell us what they want to see before we scope it. It sometimes changes the order we work in, and it is a lot easier to plan for than to redo.

Every project gets the same deal: a property walk, a written scope, a per-acre number, and a scheduling deposit to book the date. See how pricing works →
