"Working with Debbie was an absolute game-changer for our property's safety and beauty! She was incredibly attentive and worked with me every step of the way, meeting with me multiple times to truly understand my vision and concerns.
Her expertise in fire-resilient landscaping is unmatched. She didn't just give general advice; she provided a comprehensive design plan with a full layout that included:
Localized Plantings: Detailed descriptions of drought-tolerant plants specifically chosen for our area.
Visual & Practical Details: A clear breakdown of plant colors and exactly how to provide low-maintenance care.
Fire-Resilience: Complete peace of mind knowing my landscape is both stunning and safe. "

"We recently had a wildfire mitigation assessment done on our property in Loveland, and we were really impressed with Debbie's work. She was incredibly thorough and delivered her recommendations promptly, organizing them thoughtfully from simple, immediate actions to larger projects we can plan for later.
She also made herself available to patiently answer all of our questions and went above and beyond to make sure we fully understood everything. Her recommendations felt practical and tailored to our property, giving us clear steps to reduce wildfire risk effectively. If you're in Colorado and need this kind of assessment, reach out to her — we highly recommend her!"

Any architectural additions to the home, such as decks, should be constructed using noncombustible decking and designed to be impervious to embers.
Sometimes, the easiest and least costly mitigation solutions involve simply removing fallen leaves and collecting debris. You can also bring in flammable patio furniture and accessories on "Red Flag" days. Make sure that your address is easily readable from the curb by increasing contrast and size. More expensive measures to increase fire resilience include installing double-pane and tempered-glass windows, which can withstand higher temperatures.
Removing debris and keeping the 0 to 5 foot zone free of combustible materials is one of the easiest methods to reduce fire risk.
For a safer, more resilient home, keep tree limbs at least 5 feet from your house and 10 feet from chimneys. Swapping out the first 8 feet of wood fencing for noncombustible materials can make a big difference. Choosing plants with lower resin levels, instead of highly flammable options like junipers, helps create a beautiful landscape designed for protection and peace of mind.
By keeping the first 0 to 5-foot zone around your home free of combustible materials, you’re taking a simple yet powerful step to protect your home from fire. This not only reduces the risk of ignition but also creates a safer space for firefighters to defend your property if needed.
Top Left: Enclosing eave soffits and using 1/8" metal mesh screens on vents helps keep embers out, offering extra peace of mind and protection for your home.
Bottom Left: Adding metal flashing around areas where embers might collect on ledges or at the base of—such as vinyl windows, fencing, siding, or dryer vents—can help protect your home and keep it safer during wildfire season.
Top Right: Wood fencing attached to your home can act like a wick for fire. By replacing the first 8 feet of fencing attached to your home with noncombustible materials like metal or cement masonry block, you lower your fire risk and help protect your property for years to come.
There are plenty of simple ways to keep embers out and boost your home’s protection. Try metal dryer vents with flaps that close when not in use, switch basement window well covers to noncombustible materials like tempered glass or 1/8" metal mesh, and consider stone pavers, cement, or rock for your 0–5 foot zone. Every step adds up to a safer, more resilient home!
