FIREWISE
Good Firewise landscaping reduces your house and property's vulnerability to wildfire. The goal is to develop a landscape design and choice of plants which offer the best fire protection while enhancing the property, and the ideal is to surround the house with things that are less likely to burn.
It is imperative when building homes in wildfire-prone areas that fire safety be a major factor in landscape design. An appropriate landscape can make a significant contribution towards wildfire survival.
Lawn is soothing visually and is also practical as a wildfire safety feature. Rock mulches are good choices, while boulders and rocks become fire retardant elements in a design.
Prevailing winds, seasonal weather, local fire history, and characteristics of native vegetation surrounding the site are an additional important consideration
