Why this matters in Paradise

California requires 100 feet of defensible space around structures in State Responsibility Areas, split into a lean, clean and green zone out to 30 feet and a reduced-fuel zone from 30 to 100 feet. It lowers the intensity of fire reaching the house and gives firefighters somewhere safe to work, and a failed defensible space inspection is a common reason a policy is non-renewed. This is maintenance rather than a one-time job, since grass and brush come back every year.

What good work looks like

Use this when you talk to a contractor, and ask for photos of the finished work.

  • Zone 1 (0 to 30 feet) cleared of dead plants, dry grass, weeds and needle litter
  • Zone 2 (30 to 100 feet) grass mowed low, brush thinned, and spacing created between shrubs
  • Tree limbs cleared at least 10 feet from the chimney and away from the roof
  • Ladder fuels removed, so ground fire cannot climb into the tree canopy
  • Firewood and lumber piles moved at least 30 feet from the house
  • Work repeated before each fire season, not just once
