Key Lawn and Tree Care Measures to Protect Your Home from Wildfire

•  Raising Tree Canopies: Elevating the canopies of pine trees to about 10 feet can drastically reduce the risk of wildfires spreading from the ground to the treetops.
• Controlled Trimming and Removal: Properly managing tree growth through strategic trimming and removal helps in reducing fire fuel, thereby increasing your property’s defense against wildfires.
• Choosing Safer Ground Covers: Opt for inorganic materials like rocks or gravel around your home to significantly lower fire hazards compared to organic mulches.
• Health Checks and Maintenance: Regular inspections and treatments for pests and diseases are essential to keep trees healthy and less likely to contribute to wildfire spread.
