Tree Services & Fire Prevention

Hiring a professional tree care company is important for several reasons. Firstly, we have the proper equipment and training to safely and efficiently perform tree care services. Additionally, we can provide in-depth evaluations to identify any hidden damage or potential hazards. Lastly, our professionals become familiar with your trees and can provide long-term care and maintenance to ensure their health and safety.

A healthy tree is symmetrical, located in a good spot with good size, free of insects and disease, free of fungi, has a strong root system, and is planted in good soil with proper drainage. Contact Cal North Forestry for a free consultation to have your trees evaluated.

Regular tree trimming and pruning is important for fire prevention because it helps to remove dead, dying, or diseased branches that can act as kindling during a fire. This reduces the amount of fuel available for a potential wildfire and can create a defensible space around your property. Additionally, proper tree trimming and pruning can also improve the overall health of your trees and promote new growth, making them more resistant to diseases and pests. Overall, regular tree trimming and pruning is an essential part of maintaining a safe and healthy landscape, especially in areas prone to wildfires.

Defensible space is the area around a building or structure where vegetation, debris, and other flammable materials are cleared, reduced, or modified to reduce the risk of wildfires. This space provides a buffer zone between the building and any potential fire, allowing firefighters to more safely and effectively defend the structure. Creating defensible space involves several strategies, including removing dead or dying trees, thinning out vegetation, pruning trees to remove low branches, and clearing away debris. Our team is experienced in creating effective defensible space and can help assess your property to determine the best approach for your specific needs.

A hazard tree is a tree that poses a potential threat to people or property due to its condition or location. Hazard trees may have dead branches, split trunks, mistletoe or fungus growth, or be too close to structures. Regular tree evaluations by a professional can identify and address hazard trees before they become dangerous.

According to Cal Fire:

“California law requires that homeowners in the State Responsibility Area [to] clear out flammable materials such as brush or vegetation around their buildings to 100 feet (or the property line) to create a defensible space buffer. This helps to slow the progress of an approaching wildfire and keeps firefighters safe while they defend your home.”

If you're uncertain whether your property complies with Nor Cal's legal guidelines for defensible space, which may vary based on local regulations and require a 100 ft clearance, please reach out to us for assistance.

It is generally recommended to have your property inspected at least once a year by a professional for potential fire hazards. Major changes such as new construction or landscaping should also prompt a property inspection. During periods of high fire danger, increasing the frequency of property inspections can help ensure that your property is prepared for potential wildfires.
