Basic Service
This project is one designed to assist local residents clean and maintain a proper defensible space perimeter around their homes. We look forward to servicing your property, and to help answer some of your questions, please refer to the information below:
How it Works:
While true Defensible Space calls for a specific prescription on how and where vegetation resides, you will have the option to keep vegetation in place. During the assessment, you will be able to point out specific shrubs & trees that you wish to keep.
Services Included:
- Rake pine needles, leaves and other small debris to create a 30′ perimeter around the main structure on the property. Note that on certain steep slopes, this space can be increased up to 100′.
- Use a weed-eater to remove dried grass and small brush within this perimeter.
- Sweep pine needles and leaves from single-level rooftop (multi-level structures will need to be assessed before this service is promised).
- Clean pine needles and leaves from rain gutters.
What is Not Included in Base Service:
- Removal of any trees, medium-to-large bushes or shrubs. These fuels, and other larger fuel types are addressed in our Hazardous Fuels Reduction Project.
Debris Removal:
- Have us burn it for you. The burning may not happen immediately. We will wait until weather permits burning.
- Have us haul it to the Prescott Transfer Station for additional fees.
- Wait and have us haul it to our dumpster in the spring.
- You can apply for a burn permit and burn the debris. Burn permits can be picked up at our fire station on Friendly Pines Rd.
Pricing:
- Rates start at $5/hour with the grant discount.
- Most Basic Service jobs end up costing the home owner less than $75
- There is no charge for a property assessment and project estimate.
