Protect your home and land with a clear, code-aware defensible space plan built for Sisters’ wildland-urban interface.
Sisters sits right in a high-risk wildfire zone, where homes meet forest and brush. Defensible space is not just a checklist. It is a property-specific plan that manages vegetation, spacing, and fuels around your structures.
We combine forestry and arborist work to help property owners in Sisters reduce risk while keeping their land healthy and usable.
Reduce fire intensity near your home
We remove ladder fuels and manage vegetation so fire is less likely to climb from the ground into tree canopies.
Meet local expectations and guidance
We plan around defensible space zones commonly used across Central Oregon, helping you stay aligned with local standards and Firewise recommendations.
Keep your property usable and attractive
This is not clear-cutting. We focus on spacing, selective thinning, and fuel reduction that respects how your land looks and functions.
We walk your property with you and evaluate terrain, fuels, structures, and access points to build a clear plan.
We organize work into defensible space zones so priorities are clear and work is done in the right order.
We remove small trees, brush, and low branches that allow fire to move vertically.
We space trees based on species, size, and health, guided by certified arborist judgment.
We address pine needles, slash, and debris that carry fire across the ground.
We process debris on-site into mulch to reduce haul-off, improve soil moisture, and limit regrowth.

Certified expertise on every project
Our work is led by an ISA Certified Arborist with Tree Risk Assessment Qualification (TRAQ), so decisions are made tree-by-tree, not guesswork.
Forestry and arborist services in one crew
You do not need multiple contractors. We handle thinning, fuels reduction, and tree management together.
Low-impact, efficient methods
We use specialized equipment like remote-controlled chippers and masticators to work safely and reduce ground disturbance.
Built for Central Oregon conditions
We focus on WUI properties like those in Sisters, where wildfire risk, terrain, and vegetation require a tailored approach.
1. Initial Contact
You reach out and we schedule a site walk that fits your timeline.
2. Property Walkthrough
We assess fuels, tree health, spacing, and access, then explain what we are seeing in plain terms.
3. Clear Plan and Estimate
You get a straightforward scope of work based on defensible space zones and priorities.
4. Field Work
We complete thinning, pruning, and fuels reduction using safe, methodical practices.
5. Cleanup and Review
We chip or manage debris on-site and walk the property with you to review the results.
Most properties follow a zone-based approach. The area closest to your home is kept very lean, with minimal combustible material. Farther out, we focus on spacing trees and reducing fuels while maintaining forest health.
We look at species, spacing, health, and proximity to structures. As a TRAQ-certified arborist, we evaluate risk and make decisions that balance safety and long-term tree health.
No. The goal is spacing and fuel reduction, not clearing everything. Many properties keep mature trees while removing ladder fuels and overcrowding.
It depends on acreage, terrain, and fuel density. Smaller residential lots may take a few days, while larger properties can take longer.
Yes. Maintenance is part of keeping defensible space effective. We can return for follow-up thinning, pruning, and fuel management as conditions change.
