California’s Trusted Partner in Vegetation Management & Wildfire Risk Reduction

Southern California faces some of the most aggressive wildfire threats in the country. Homes, businesses, HOAs, and open-space properties must adapt to changing fire conditions and new state and local regulations. SoCal Brush provides professional wildfire-mitigation services designed to protect communities, reduce risk, and meet all required defensible-space and Zone 0 standards.

Our team specializes in vegetation management, brush clearance, defensible-space creation, fuel-modification zone planning, and wildfire-readiness consulting for properties of every size—from single-family homes to large open-space landholdings.

SoCal Brush is the only company contracted by the City of Thousand Oaks, the Conejo Recreation & Park District (CRPD), and the Conejo Open Space Conservation Agency (COSCA) to perform official brush clearance, vegetation management, and wildfire-mitigation services throughout the region. These contracts have been maintained for more than five years, demonstrating our reliability, performance, and consistency in meeting strict government standards.

We are also an approved Los Angeles Fire Department Brush Clearance Contractor.

Our company is managed and staffed by professionals with direct wildfire-fighting and wildland fire-suppression experience. Many of our team members have served on active fire assignments across California, giving us a practical understanding of fire behavior, ember travel, fuel loading, and mitigation techniques that extend far beyond traditional landscaping or weed-abatement work.

This combination of governmental contract experience, professional fire-behavior knowledge, and strict adherence to local and state wildfire regulations positions SoCal Brush as a trusted leader in wildfire mitigation throughout Southern California.

SoCal Brush provides full-service wildfire-mitigation solutions, including:

Vegetation and Brush Clearance
Reducing hazardous fuels, overgrown vegetation, and dead material to limit fire spread and radiant heat.

Defensible Space (Zones 0–2)
Creating and maintaining defensible-space zones based on PRC 4291 and local fire-agency standards.

Zone 0 Compliance (0–5 Feet)
New state requirements mandate an ember-resistant perimeter around structures. We prepare properties for Zone 0 notices and upcoming enforcement.

Tree Services for Fire Safety
Professional tree pruning, limbing, hazard-tree removal, and canopy spacing with wildfire safety in mind.

Fuel-Modification Zone Planning
Strategic landscape planning for homes, communities, and open-space areas within the wildland-urban interface.

Slope, Roadside, and Access Clearance
Ensuring visibility, access, and compliance along driveways, private roads, and fire-access routes.

Emergency Preparedness and Home-Hardening Support

We go beyond vegetation management by offering property assessments and guidance to improve structural resilience. Our home-hardening recommendations are aligned with CAL FIRE guidelines and help reduce vulnerabilities such as ember entry points, combustible materials near structures, and debris buildup around roofs and gutters.

These services help property owners prepare for wildfire season and meet evolving insurance and inspection requirements.

Properties located in High or Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zones must meet defensible-space requirements before being sold. SoCal Brush provides pre-inspection services to identify issues, complete mitigation work, and ensure readiness for official AB-38 defensible-space inspections.

We support HOAs, commercial properties, and land-management organizations with coordinated wildfire-mitigation programs. These services include:

• Multi-parcel defensible-space planning
• Annual mitigation and maintenance programs
• Greenbelt, open-space, and common-area fuel reduction
• Insurance and compliance documentation

Our programs help protect structures, landscapes, and community assets while meeting regulatory requirements.

Fire agencies across Southern California will begin issuing Zone 0 notices this year. Enforcement requiring all combustible materials to be removed from within five feet of structures will follow. Early compliance helps avoid citations, reinspection fees, and insurance complications.

SoCal Brush monitors all state legislation, local ordinances, and wildfire-mitigation updates to ensure your property remains protected and fully compliant.
