Fire Mitigation Services

At Green Guard Landscaping, we specialize in fire safe yard services designed to reduce wildfire risk while improving the look and usability of your outdoor space. Whether you're clearing overgrown brush, trimming trees, or replacing flammable plants with fire-resistant options, our services are tailored to meet local guidelines.

Lawn Mower

General Yard Cleanup

Protect your property while keeping it neat and beautiful. Our General Yard Cleanup service is designed to reduce wildfire risk by removing dry, flammable debris and overgrown vegetation from around your home.

We’ll take care of:

  • Raking and removing dry leaves, pine needles, and twigs

  • Clearing sticks and branches from around the yard and home perimeter

  • Mowing tall grass and trimming overgrown vegetation

  • Tidying up garden beds and under decks or porches

  • Hauling away yard waste and combustible debris

This service not only improves curb appeal — it also helps create a safer space (0–10 ft from your home) to meet guidelines. It’s a simple, affordable step.

Cleaning a Rain Gutter

Roof and Gutter Cleaning

Keep your home safer and more fire-resistant with our Roof & Gutter Clearing service. Dry leaves, pine needles, and other debris in your gutters or on your roof are highly flammable and pose a serious wildfire risk — especially during hot, dry months.

Our service includes:

  • Clearing gutters of leaves, needles, twigs, and other debris

  • Flushing downspouts to ensure proper drainage

  • Sweeping off roof surfaces and removing debris from valleys and edges

  • Checking for buildup around chimneys, vents, and solar panels

  • Safe and responsible removal of all debris from the property

A clean roof and gutter system is a key part of your home’s wild fire protection. Plus, regular maintenance helps prevent water damage and prolongs the life of your roof. 

Cutting Woods

Tree Trimming

Reduce wildfire risk and protect your home with tree trimming. Overgrown branches and low-hanging limbs can act as dangerous ladder fuels, helping fire climb from the ground into treetops and structures.

Our service focuses on:

  • Clearing branches away from the home, roofline, and other structures (minimum 2 metres clearance recommended)

  • Raising the canopy by trimming lower limbs to reduce ladder fuel and create vertical separation

  • Removing dead or dry limbs and overgrowth that could ignite easily

  • Disposing of all branches and green waste safely and responsibly

By trimming trees properly and maintaining separation between vegetation and buildings, you significantly lower the chance of fire spreading to your home.

Planting a Tree

Fire Safe Planting

Create a beautiful yard that’s also wildfire-resilient with our Fire-Safe Planting service. We help you design and install low-risk plants that enhance your landscape while reducing the chance of fire spreading to your home.

Our service includes:

  • Selecting and planting fire-resistant species 

  • Spacing plants properly to prevent fire from jumping between vegetation

  • Replacing flammable shrubs near the home with safer alternatives

  • Using rock mulch and non-combustible ground covers in high-risk areas

  • Creating an attractive, low-maintenance, and fire-conscious layout

By choosing the right plants and installing them thoughtfully, you can beautify your property while protecting it. 

Forest

Brush Clearing &
Vegetation Thinning

Overgrown brush and dense vegetation act as fuel in a wildfire — especially close to structures or in dry summer conditions. Our Wildfire Risk Reduction service focuses on clearing out these hazards to create safer, more defensible space around your property.

We provide:

  • Clearing thick brush, woody debris, and overgrown shrubs

  • Thinning out dense tree clusters to reduce fuel load and improve spacing

  • Hauling and responsibly disposing of green waste

​

Not only does this reduce wildfire risk — it also makes your property cleaner, more attractive, and easier to enjoy and maintain. Whether you want more usable outdoor space, a better view, or just a tidier yard, this service delivers both safety and visual appeal.
