Evergreen trees are
saviors in winter, deserving of our care. Their
foliage brightens winter landscapes and affords
windbreaks that save us money on our fuel
bills. Erich
Barber - Owner Services include tree
trimming, chipping and removal, deadfall clean-up,
defensible space / wildfire mitigation and consulting
forester that can certify & mark properties for
defensible space permits for new construction and
additions. An area around your home or
structures, which is either man-made or natural where the
vegetation is modified and maintained to slow the rate and
intensity of an advancing wildland fire. It also provides
room for firefighters to work and helps protect the forest
from becoming involved should a structure fire
occur. Severe wildfire hazards
exist on most forested building sites. Many hazards can be
effectively reduced by following these defensible space
guidelines developed by the Colorado State Forest Service.
Follow the guidelines below. Thinning out continuous tree
and brush cover around structures. The initial 15 feet
around a structure should consist of an area which all
flammable vegetation is removed. Beyond the initial 15 feet,
the trees should be thinned to 10 - 12 foot crown spacing.
Occasionally, clumps of 2 or 3 trees are permitted for
natural effects if more space surrounds them. The dimensions
of a defensible space are subjective, site specific and
dependent on site characteristics. * Dispose of all
slash and debris left from thinning by either chipping,
hauling away or by piling and burning. * Remove dead limbs,
leaves and other ground litter within the defensible
space. * Stack firewood
uphill or on a contour and at least 15 feet from your
home. * Maintain an
greenbelt immediately around your home using grass, flower
gardens, or ornamental shrubbery. An alternative is rock or
other noncombustible material; avoid bark or wood chip mulch
in this area. * Mow dry grass and
weeds to a height of 6 inches or less for a distance of 30
feet. * Prune branches from
trees within the defensible space to a height of 10 feet
above the ground fuels. Also remove shrubs and small trees,
or other potential "ladder" fuels from beneath large trees;
left in place, these can carry a ground fire into the tree
crowns. * Trim branches which
extend over eaves of roofs. Remove branches within 15 feet
of a chimney. * Clean roof and
gutters of pine needles and leaves to eliminate an ignition
source for firebrands, especially during the hot, dry
weather of the fire season. * Reduce density of
surrounding forest at least 100 feet out from your
structure. Thin the trees so there is 10 foot crown
spacing. * Maintain the
defensible space annually, by removing debris, shrubs and
other vegetation which accumulated during the year.
