Many landscapes in Bend, Redmond, and Sisters were built for looks, not fire conditions.
-
Highly flammable species near structures
-
Dense plant groupings that carry fire
-
Drought-stressed plants that become dry fuel
-
Poor spacing and overgrowth
These choices turn your landscape into a pathway for fire.
For homeowners, this creates unnecessary risk around the home.
For HOAs, inconsistent planting across properties increases exposure across the entire community.
For acreage properties, unmanaged vegetation becomes a large-scale fuel source.
If your plant selection wasn’t intentional, it could be a liability.
