Fire-Resistant Landscaping & Defensible Space Services

Firefighter-founded fire-resistant landscaping, defensible space, fuel reduction, and wildfire risk assessments in Los Angeles and surrounding wildfire-prone areas.


Hotshot Home Hardening provides scientifically backed, fire-resistant landscape design built to protect homes in high-risk wildfire areas. Founded by former Hotshot Wildland Firefighters, we use real frontline experience to reduce hazardous vegetation, strengthen defensible space, and restore resilient native ecosystems.
Our fire-resistant landscaping includes strategic plant selection, spacing, soil health improvements, and ongoing maintenance designed to significantly lower wildfire vulnerability while preserving natural beauty.

    Consultation & Assessment

    Wildfire Risk Assessment & Property Evaluation
    Our Hotshot assessment team conducts a full on-site evaluation of your property’s wildfire risk. We analyze defensible space zones, vegetation, structural vulnerabilities, access routes, and fuel loads throughout your Wildland Urban Interface (WUI).
    Following your consultation, you’ll receive a detailed breakdown of findings, a custom mitigation plan, and a service quote tailored to your property’s needs.

    Defensible Space

    Defensible Space & Fuel Reduction
    We create defensible space zones that meet and exceed CAL FIRE, USFS, and PRC 4291 standards. Our services include brush clearing, ladder-fuel removal, pruning, hazard-tree evaluation, slope stabilization, and property-wide fuel assessments to reduce ignition pathways and protect your home during wildfire events.

    Native Plant restoration

    Native & Drought-Tolerant Plant Restoration
    We remove high-risk vegetation and replace it with low-fuel, drought-tolerant native species that support soil health, reduce erosion, and improve fire resilience. Our plant choices promote biodiversity while lowering your home’s vulnerability to extreme fire behavior.

    Seasonal & Long-Term Fire-Safe Property Care
    Ongoing maintenance is essential for long-term protection. We offer seasonal vegetation management, brush removal, weed abatement, risk monitoring, and upkeep of defensible space to ensure your property stays compliant and protected year-round.
