Wildfire Protection,
Designed into
The Landscape
Moisture-rich landscapes that reduce wildfire risk
Integrated Land Systems for Distinct Mountain Properties
1. Fungal Fire Barriers™
hold moisture where it matters, and complement firebreaks near the property line.
2. WoodSponge™
3. BioBerms™
A different approach to fire-resistant land
Most mitigation removes fuel and leaves the landscape exposed.
We go further—building moisture into the system.
A guided, property-specific Process
1. Private Site Walk
Walk the land with the expert, Dr. Lauren Czaplicki.
Here we discuss goals, identify risk, opportunity, and how the property naturally moves water and fire.
2. Custom Design
Projects are often installed in phases, allowing work to align with seasons, budgets, and evolving priorities.
Each design is tailored to your unique property and goals.
3. Phased installation
We coordinate everything from thinning to due diligence prior to installation.
Projects are often installed in phases, allowing work to align with seasons, budgets, and evolving priorities.
4. Ongoing Stewardship
We return to refine, monitor, and adapt the system as it matures to ensure long-term performance.
Designed to integrate new material every 3–4 years as thinning continues.
Designed for Mountain properties at scale
We work across a range of property types throughout Southwest Colorado and across the Western Slope:
- Private estates (1–5 acres)
- Larger mountain properties (5–20+ acres)
- Shared landscapes, HOAs, developments, and multi-owner landholdings
Each project is approached as a long-term system, not a one-time install.
We work with insured and certified arborists, other biological fire mitigation companies, and premier landscape design firms to build lasting, resilient landscapes.
Protecting More Than Just Structures
Our work supports:
- Reduced fire intensity and spread potential
- Increased soil moisture and drought resilience
- Erosion control and slope stability
- Improved insurability and defensible space alignment
- Long-term property value and landscape durability
This is mitigation designed to perform and last.
Proven in High-Risk Areas
Clients typically come to us with:
- Concerns regarding insurance pressure or non-renewal
- Not a lot of clarity on how to balance safety with aesthetics
- Large volumes of slash or wood chips on-site
- A desire to make mitigation both functional and visually cohesive
- Existing landscaping they’d like updated to prepare for increasing water restrictions
We specialize in turning those conditions into long-term assets.
Project Inquiries
We take on a limited number of projects each season.
Our work is best suited for properties where wildfire mitigation, water retention, and long-term land performance are considered together, shaped to the land and how it’s meant to be lived on.
Each process begins with a private site walk.
This gives us time to understand your property: its slopes, vegetation, how water and fire have moved across it previously, and to identify where our systems will have the greatest impact.
From there, we develop a tailored approach aligned with your goals and the long-term function of the landscape.
Our work is often a strong fit for:
- Properties following thinning or fuels reduction
- Sites with existing wood chips, slash, or on-site material
- Landowners interested in long-term stewardship
- Landscapes where function and aesthetics are equally important
