Certified Defensible Space Evaluators

Defensible Space Clearing, Inspection, and Evaluation

Northern California faces yearly threats of wildfires responsible for loss of life and billions of dollars worth of damage.  Creating safety zones known as defensible space has become a priority in towns and cities throughout El Dorado, Amador, Placer, and surrounding counties.

Defensible space around your home or business is a necessary measure that protects not only physical structures in the event that a fire spreads to your area but also our loved ones and the emergency responders who risk their lives to keep us safe.

Fire professionals have reported that up to 75% of homes that survived in burn areas completed some form of defensible space mitigation.

This information has prompted efforts in towns and cities from Cameron Park, Shingle Springs, and Coloma to Placerville, Pollock Pines, South Lake Tahoe, and everywhere in between to provide guidelines and strategies designed to protect life and property if the worst-case scenario happens. Moreover home and fire insurance land clearing prepares your home for eligibility and easier approval with insurance providers.

  • Huge shout out to Hargo's Land Management. I needed two very large hazard trees taken down, plus a bunch of trees trimmed. From start to finish this company is courteous, responsive, reliable, reasonably priced, and the work is top-notch. They know what they are doing, don't waste any time, are friendly, respectful, easy to schedule, arrive on time, and clean up was impressive. If you are in need of land clearing or tree work I highly recommend Hargo's.

    They showed up at 7:45 AM, exactly as discussed, they were ready to go and got right to the job at hand. Very professional, great service, easy to work with. They took off a very large broken branch on a historical oak, and took down a 150ft pine that was 20 feet from my house. Did the job safely, and very efficiently. If you need any tree work done, these are the guys to use

    Aaron & His Team did a awesome job knocking out a large area of trees, shrubs, weeds and overgrowth on the outer portions of our lot. Arrived on time, finished the job ahead of schedule, and exceeded expectations. I'd give him 6 Stars if I could! Highly recommend!!
