Wildfire Protection Is Bigger Than One Property

Fire doesn't stop at a property line, and neither does our work. Alongside every landscape we design, we partner with local organizations, assessors, and resources that help Central Oregon communities build long-term wildfire resilience — not just individual defensible space.

The Landscape Around Your Home Could Be Working Against You

Most Central Oregon properties weren’t designed with fire in mind. Overgrown shrubs against the foundation, dry grass under mature trees, dense plantings along fences…these are the conditions that allow a wildfire to travel from the wildland directly to your structure.

For homeowners in Bend, Redmond, Sisters, and surrounding high-risk areas, the question isn’t whether fire will threaten your community. It’s whether your property will slow it down or speed it up.

HOAs and community associations face an added layer of complexity: dozens of properties, inconsistent maintenance standards, shared green spaces, and the challenge of coordinating a cohesive fire safety strategy across an entire neighborhood.

Resources

From Firewise USA and the National Fire Protection Association to Deschutes County's wildfire code and fire-resistant plant guides, we've gathered the resources we trust most so you can stay informed between projects, not just during them.

Home Assessments

A professional home assessment is the clearest starting point for understanding your property's fire risk. We work with a trusted assessment partner to give homeowners a clear, honest picture of where they stand — before any design or mitigation work begins.
