Before and After Pics
August 2008
PLAN AHEAD!!!!!!!  
It comes every summer; hot, dry, windy conditions that are the perfect mix for wildland fires.  Don't wait for smoke to
be in the air to contact us, wild fire season comes every summer and you and your home should be prepared! You
must be very careful working in these conditions!  Power Equipment such as chainsaws, weedeaters, and lawn
mowers can ignite this grass instantly!   
Before thinning project.  
This 10 acre project consisted of removing all
junipers and cedars, limbing up trees, and thinning
out the Ponderossa trees to a more natural
stocking rate.   Approximately 4000 trees were
removed!
Pile Burning during our thinning project.
Piling and burning in the right conditions  mimic's
mother natures way of cleaning out the forest.  
This will encourage healthy growth of the
remaining trees, increase grass production, and
improve wildlife habitat.
Brush and tree removal (fuel reduction) works!  This home survived the FORD fire summer 2007.  
Do you think it would have had a chance if this defensible space had not been created?
