Property Hardening in Oregon

Wildfire Defense Starts With Your Landscape

As wildfires become more frequent and severe across Oregon, protecting your property is no longer optional — it's essential. At Arborists of America, Inc., we help homeowners, HOAs, and land managers throughout the state implement professional property hardening strategies that reduce risk, protect structures, and save lives.

What is Property Hardening?

Property hardening involves preparing the area around your home or structures to withstand wildfire and severe weather events. This includes managing vegetation, creating defensible space, and identifying tree hazards that could increase your property's vulnerability.

Our Services Include:

• Strategic vegetation thinning and fuel load reduction

• Tree and brush removal near structures and driveways

• Ladder fuel removal to slow vertical fire spread

• Clearance pruning from roofs, eaves, and utility lines

• Hazard tree identification and removal

• Custom defensible space planning for compliance with Oregon fire code

Why It Matters in Oregon

From Southern Oregon and the Willamette Valley to the Cascades and Central Oregon, many homes and communities are surrounded by flammable vegetation. Wildfires in recent years have proven that fire can spread rapidly in both forested and suburban areas — especially when properties are not maintained with fire resistance in mind.

Whether you're in a rural fire zone or an urban-wildland interface, our ISA-certified arborists and wildfire mitigation experts can help you create a safer environment without compromising the health of your trees.
