Brave Forestry Made quick work of a cedar tree that was left behind by some PG&E work that was blocking up my driveway. Brave came right out and helped me clear out the driveway so it was usable again. Great work with the excavator and even raked everything up after. Thanks again Brave!

Expert Fire Defensible Space Management in Oakhurst, CA
Fire defensible space management in Oakhurst, CA means clearing and managing vegetation around your home to slow or stop a wildfire before it reaches your structure. Oakhurst sits in the Sierra Nevada foothills, surrounded on three sides by Sierra National Forest, placing most properties in a State Responsibility Area under California Public Resource Code 4291. That law requires 100 feet of defensible space around improved structures. Brave Forestry LLC handles the full scope of that work: mowing and cutting annual grasses, removing dead brush and ladder fuels, limbing trees to reduce vertical fire pathways, and clearing debris from around outbuildings and propane tanks. CAL FIRE inspectors actively visit properties in this area to check compliance. Keeping your space cleared also helps protect your fire insurance coverage. If your property has steep slopes, dense manzanita, or mixed oak and pine cover common to the Oakhurst area, our crew has the equipment and experience to work safely on that terrain. Call us to schedule a property walkthrough.

FAQ
Fire Defensible Space Management FAQ
Common questions about fire defensible space management in Oakhurst, CA.
Yes. California Public Resource Code 4291 requires 100 feet of defensible space around structures in the State Responsibility Area, which includes most properties near Oakhurst. CAL FIRE inspectors visit homes in this area to check compliance.
The work covers mowing grasses, removing dead brush, limbing trees, and clearing debris from around structures and propane tanks. In Oakhurst, that often means cutting back dense manzanita and removing ladder fuels between the ground and tree canopy.
Yes, we work on steep slopes and heavily wooded parcels common to the Sierra Nevada foothills around Oakhurst. Our equipment and crew are set up for that terrain.
Maintained defensible space can help support your fire insurance coverage on Oakhurst-area properties. Many insurers look at vegetation management as part of their risk review for Sierra Nevada foothill homes.
Vegetation grows back, so defensible space requires ongoing attention, not a one-time clearing. Oakhurst properties with oak, pine, and chaparral growth typically need work more than once a year to stay compliant.
CAL FIRE enforces California's defensible space requirements in the State Responsibility Area around Oakhurst. Their inspectors conduct compliance checks and can issue notices to property owners who are not in compliance.
