About our Fire Mitigation Services
Arbor Doctor Tree Service is Firefighter owned and operated, which means our wildfire mitigation work is guided by Wildland/Urban Interface (WUI) training — the same principles used to train wildland firefighters on how to defend homes threatened by fire.
We help homeowners reduce risk, maintain insurability, and create defensible space without compromising the health or stability of their trees.
We’re here to navigate specific requirements set forth by insurance companies, HOA’s and government entities regarding fire mitigation.
Wildfire Mitigation & Defensible Space Services
Wildfires are no longer just a “mountain” problem, they are a real risk for homes throughout Colorado’s Front Range.
Why Wildfire Mitigation Matters
If your property is improperly thinned, overgrown, or filled with ground fuels and ladder fuels, you may be:
- At higher risk during wildfire season
- Facing insurance cancellation or non-renewal
- Putting your home, land, and family in danger
Don’t wait until your policy is cancelled.
Don’t wait until your property is at risk.
What We Focus On:
Let our trained team evaluate your property and create a customized wildfire risk-reduction plan.
Selective Thinning (Not Over-Clearing)
We carefully thin trees without changing wind load dynamics, helping prevent increased wind exposure, tree failure during storms, and unnatural fire behavior patterns. The goal is fire safety + forest health — not clear-cutting.
Removing Ground Fuels & Ladder Fuels
We eliminate the materials that allow fire to climb from the ground into the canopy, such as dead branches, brush, overgrowth, and dense understory vegetation. This reduces the intensity and spread of potential fires near your home.
Complete Haul-Off or Broadcast Chipping
You choose how debris is handled: Full haul-off for a clean property or broadcast chipping to return nutrients to the soil while reducing fuel load. Both options improve safety while supporting healthy land management.
Our Wildfire Mitigation Training & Approach
Our team is trained in Wildland/Urban Interface (WUI) fire behavior and mitigation tactics, including:
Fire size-up and risk assessment
Structure triage
(defensible vs. non-defensible homes)
Home Protection Tactics
Vegetation management strategies that reduce fire spread
This training allows us to approach mitigation with the same strategic mindset used by wildland firefighters when protecting communities from advancing fires.
