Defensible Space Landscaping
Wildfire season in Oregon is no longer a distant worry—it’s a yearly reality. One of the best ways to protect your home, family, and property value is through defensible space landscaping. At Seifert Enterprises, we help homeowners and landowners across Northwest Oregon reduce wildfire risks by strategically clearing brush, trimming trees, and managing vegetation around their homes.
Why Defensible Space Matters in Oregon
Defensible space is a buffer zone between your home and the natural environment. By reducing the fuel available to a fire, you create a safer environment for your property and for firefighters. Insurance companies and state agencies now recommend or require defensible space landscaping to lower wildfire risk.
Creating Fire-Safe Zones Around Your Home
Our team follows best practices for fire-wise landscaping:
-
Immediate Zone (0–5 feet): Remove combustible debris, wood piles, and dry brush.
-
Intermediate Zone (5–30 feet): Thin trees and prune lower branches. Keep grasses low and clear flammable shrubs.
-
Extended Zone (30–100+ feet): Manage brush, mow tall grass, and create fuel breaks.
Vegetation Management & Brush Clearing Services
We use specialized equipment to remove blackberry thickets, ivy, and invasive plants that contribute to fire hazards. By reducing density and spacing vegetation, we create healthier landscapes that are both attractive and fire-safe.
Local Expertise in Rural and Semi-Urban Oregon
Unlike national contractors, Seifert Enterprises is locally owned and operated. We know the challenges of rural properties in Hillsboro, Vernonia, Forest Grove, Beaverton, and surrounding communities. Our crew has hands-on experience in terrain that ranges from farmland to forest edges.
