Wildfire Fuel Reduction & Defensible Space Services in Central Oregon
Mountainside Excavation provides wildfire fuel reduction and defensible space services for homeowners, acreage owners, and rural properties throughout Central Oregon. We help reduce combustible vegetation, brush, dead material, ladder fuels, and overgrowth around homes and structures to create cleaner, more defensible properties before wildfire season.
Protect Your Central Oregon Property from Wildfire
Central Oregon’s dry summers and wooded properties make wildfire preparation an important part of property maintenance. Our equipment allows us to tackle large or small fuel-reduction projects efficiently, including brush clearing, vegetation removal, tree thinning, property cleanup, access improvement, and removal of accumulated fuels around homes, shops, driveways, and outbuildings.
Defensible Space Clearing & Fuel Reduction
Oregon’s current defensible-space guidance specifically focuses on reducing fuels around structures, including dead vegetation, combustible debris and ladder fuels. The state also emphasizes that the first five feet immediately around a structure is particularly important.
We use the State Fire Marshall's guidelines to help homeowners create defensible spaces around their property.
Depending on your property, our work may include brush and vegetation clearing, removal of dead or accumulated fuels, ladder fuel reduction, selective tree thinning, cleanup around structures, driveway and access clearing, acreage cleanup, and hauling or processing of cleared material.
Since we're also home builders here in Central Oregon, we know how important it to protect your property long-term.
