Certified Firewise Landscaping Strategies

Our approach to wildfire safety is rooted in certified Firewise principles, ensuring your landscape actively protects your property.

Defensible Space Creation

Strategic plant spacing and removal techniques to create effective buffer zones around your home, drastically reducing fire intensity and spread.

Fire-Resistant Plant Selection

We meticulously select native and adapted plant species for Idaho's climate that naturally resist ignition and slow fire spread, such as Idaho Fescue, Penstemon, and certain types of Mahonia.

Fuel Break Design & Maintenance

Implementation of greenbelts, hardscapes, and irrigated zones as effective fuel breaks, coupled with ongoing maintenance protocols for sustained protection.

Combining Fire Safety with Slope Stabilization

Idaho's unique terrain often presents homes on slopes, which require specialized attention for both erosion control and wildfire defense. Our solutions integrate these critical needs into a cohesive, effective landscape design.

  • Dual-Purpose Plant Selection: Choosing plants with robust root systems for erosion control that also possess inherent fire-resistant qualities.
  • Strategic Placement & Terracing: Utilizing techniques like terracing and contour planting to maximize both slope integrity and create critical fuel breaks.
  • Integrated Maintenance: Developing customized maintenance plans that address the unique needs of slope gardens for both stability and reduced fuel load.
  • Seasonal Management: Adapting to seasonal changes to ensure optimal fire safety and erosion control, especially during dry periods.
