Why it matters who does this work
Defensible space is not a landscaping problem. It is a fire behavior problem.
The difference between cleared land and genuinely defensible land is understanding how fire approaches your specific property. Knowing where it accelerates, where embers land, what it finds when it arrives at your structure comes from fire science, not a checklist. It is what every CWD service is built around.
Nine services. Three categories.
From first assessment to ongoing maintenance — every CWD service is scoped against your property’s actual fire risk.

A Property Fire Risk Walk is the right first step for most properties. A CWD team member walks every zone with you, identifies every gap, and tells you exactly what your property needs — with no pressure to book anything else.
