The Pikes Peak region is our home turf, and one of the most wildfire-exposed parts of the state. Black Forest's dense, continuous ponderosa stands fueled the most destructive fire in Colorado history at the time (the 2013 Black Forest Fire), and just a year earlier the Waldo Canyon Fire became the first fire to burn into Colorado Springs neighborhoods.
Steep, drought-stressed slopes above Manitou Springs and Woodland Park cure out fast each summer, and rapid growth keeps pushing homes deeper into the wildland-urban interface. Defensible space and fuels reduction here are about breaking up continuous canopy and ladder fuels before fire can carry into a neighborhood.
Zone 0–3 fuel breaks engineered to slow fire and give firefighters a place to defend your home.
Grind brush, scrub oak and small trees into a nutrient mulch in a single low-impact pass, no burning or hauling.
Strategic thinning of overcrowded stands to firewise spacing for forest health and fire resistance.
Removal of hazard trees, beetle-kill and dead standing fuel by certified arborists.
Close the ember entry points wildfires exploit, vents, gutters, decks, siding and Zone 0.
Haul-off, chipping and disposal of cut material so your property is left clean and firewise.
A written, photo-documented evaluation of your property's risk with a prioritized action plan.
Large-scale fuels management for communities, ranches, developers and municipalities.
The fires that shaped this region show exactly why mitigation matters here.
489 homes lost NE of Colorado Springs, the most destructive in CO until 2021.

Read the overviewColorado's 25% wildfire-mitigation tax credit, CSFS grants, Wildfire Partners rebates and insurance discounts can offset much of the cost, and we document every job so you can claim them.
Yes. The Pikes Peak region is our home base. We serve Colorado Springs, Monument, Black Forest, Manitou Springs, Woodland Park and the surrounding El Paso and Teller County communities.
Yes. Black Forest's dense ponderosa canopy that fueled the 2013 fire continues to regrow, and much of the area remains high-risk. Defensible space and tree thinning are strongly recommended.
Increasingly, yes, many regional insurers now require or reward documented defensible space. We provide insurer-ready reports. See our insurance and grants guide.
