FREE CHIPPING
Maintaining the legally-required 100 feet of defensible space around your property can be a challenge for homeowners. Once you’ve taken the necessary steps to protect your property by thinning and trimming hazardous brush, you are often left with large piles of dry vegetation, which can themselves become a fire hazard.
That is why we created our No-Cost Chipping program for residents in high-fire risk properties in San Diego County. Once you’ve done the hard work of preparing the space, our contractors come out and chip the cleared vegetation for you, free of charge. The chips are left with you and can be used as a weed suppressing mulch on your property.
Once your piles are prepared and ready for chipping, please call the Fire Safe Council at 619-562-0096 to sign up or Diana Hake at above number.
DEFENSIBLE SPACE ASSISTANCE PROGRAM
The Defensible Space Assistance Program (DSAP) was created to help low-income seniors and physically disabled persons adhere to defensible space regulations. If you are physically and financially unable to maintain the state-mandated 100’ of defensible space around your home, our Defensible Space Assistance Program may help.
