Firewise Landscaping
Firewise Landscaping
Wildfires are a part of life in Montana… just one of the many harsh and beautiful aspects of this amazing environment. We cannot prevent them, but we can prepare for them.
Firewise Landscaping is a simple, beautiful concept. Think of it as a series of beautiful buffer zones of wildfire resistance landscaped around your structures. It starts with proper hardscaping, or use of rocks and fire-resistant materials to structure the property. We target natural looking rock outcrops, stone pathways, and large retaining walls as integral parts of the fire defensive zones. We try to work with native, naturally fire-resistant plants, and well-designed irrigation systems keep these plants at peak moisture during the worst of the fire season. Our Landscape Design considers aspects that most Landscapers ignore… Ingress and Egress of Emergency vehicles, bridge fire safety and proper signage to name a few.
Pollinator beds for native bees, edible flower beds and medicinal herb gardens are some of our favorite options to incorporate into our landscaping. We custom tailor all jobs to the available water on the property… we have some awesome xeriscaping options as well. The emphasis is on beautiful, durable, and fire resistant.
We also offer an integrated Fire Protection Sprinkler System for the very best of property protection options. Call today for details or to schedule a consult!
