Coal Creek Canyon & the Front Range foothills

Wildfire mitigation that meets code and keeps your coverage.

Ridgeline Mitigation clears, thins, and hardens mountain properties against wildfire, and documents the work so it holds up for permits, insurance, and peace of mind.

Zone 1

0–5 FT

Zone 0: the ignition zone

Non-combustible clearance immediately around the structure: no mulch, wood piles, or overhanging branches. This is where most homes actually catch fire, usually from wind-blown embers rather than direct flame contact.

5–30 FT

Zone 1: the lean, clean, green zone

Brush thinning, tree spacing, and ladder-fuel removal so a ground fire can't climb into the canopy near your home.

30–100 FT

Zone 2: the fuel reduction zone

Selective thinning across the wider property to slow an approaching fire and reduce its intensity before it reaches the home.

Services

Mitigation work, priced and scoped by zone.

Every job starts with a walk of the property and a written scope. You approve the plan before any cutting starts.

01

Zone 0 clearing

Non-combustible perimeter around the structure: mulch, debris, and overhanging limbs removed to code.

02

Zone 1 brush thinning

Tree spacing, limbing, and ladder-fuel removal within the 5–30 ft ring.

03

Vent & ember screening

1/8" metal mesh on attic, crawlspace, and soffit vents to stop ember intrusion, the leading cause of home ignition.

04

Firewood relocation

Woodpiles moved outside Zone 0 and re-stacked to code, not just pushed to the property line.

05

Slash hauling & disposal

All cut material chipped, hauled, or delivered to a county slash site so nothing is left behind to dry into fuel.

06

Documentation & photos

Before/after photo record for permits, insurance carriers, and your own file.

Process

From first walk to final documentation.

1

On-site assessment

We walk the property zone by zone and flag what's driving your risk: canopy spacing, vent screening, debris, and anything your county's WUI code will check for.

2

Written scope & price

You get an itemized plan by zone before anything is cut. No open-ended hourly billing.

3

Mitigation work

Our crew clears, thins, and hardens per the approved scope, with debris hauled off-site as we go.

4

Final walkthrough & documentation

A closing walk together, plus a dated photo record you can hand to your county, your insurer, or keep on file.

Got a wildfire non-renewal notice from your insurer?

We'll walk the property and give you a written WUI risk assessment for $199 that covers what's driving the flag and what it takes to clear it. If you hire us for the mitigation work, the $199 is credited to your project.
