A crew built around inspections and deadlines
We started doing brush clearance for a handful of hillside homeowners who had each failed a fire-district inspection the same season. The work is not landscaping and we never pretended it was - it is reducing fuel to a published standard, in the order an inspector checks it, with a report at the end that a homeowner can actually submit.
Every crew member working the outer zone carries an arborist credential and current liability insurance, because canopy work near a structure and a power line is not a job for a general laborer with a chainsaw. We carry documentation to every job site and hand a copy to the homeowner along with the final report.
We work seasonally, ahead of fire season rather than during it, and we schedule around the date on your inspection notice - tell us the deadline and we build the job to it.
