Our Wildfire-Safe Development Services
- Firewise Consulting for Builders & Developers
We partner directly with builders, architects, and HOAs to integrate wildfire mitigation strategies into site planning, home placement, and landscape design. From material selection to community layout, we provide guidance that helps meet Firewise USA standards and supports long-term fire safety.
- Defensible Space Design
We create defensible zones around structures that slow or stop wildfire spread. Our experts advise on tree spacing, plant selection, and hardscaping features that maximize both wildfire protection and curb appeal.
- Fire-Resistant Landscaping for New Homes
Our team consults on fire-resistant plant palettes, irrigation planning, and maintenance strategies that reduce fuel loads while enhancing property value. We focus on low-maintenance, drought-tolerant, and fire-adapted plants that look modern and thrive in Colorado’s foothills.
- Neighborhood-Wide Wildfire Protection
We help developers go beyond individual homes by designing community-level wildfire mitigation plans. This includes road layouts that act as firebreaks, shared open spaces that minimize risk, and vegetation management strategies that protect entire neighborhoods.
