Alameda County Defensible Space & Land Clearing Systems

Serving Greater Alameda County Including:  Alameda, Albany, Berkeley, Castro Valley, Dublin, Emeryville, Fremont, Hayward, Livermore, Newark, Oakland, Pleasanton, San Leandro, San Lorenzo, Sunol, Union City



Specializing in defensible space clearing, brush mulching, and berry removal.  Our forestry mulching machines obliterate vegetation quickly and with minimal soil disturbance. The "Mulching Method" leaves behind a layer of beneficial mulch that promotes healthy habitat recovery in multiple ways. Not only does mulch help prevent erosion of the soil, but it seals in moisture and nutrients, helping native grasses and desirable trees (like oaks) get the elements they need to flourish.

OUR MISSION:

The Mission of Defensible Space & Land Clearing Systems is to help protect lives, property, and resources from the catastrophic effects of wildfire through fuel reduction and vegetation management, while restoring and maintaining healthy ecosystems.

What is Forestry Mastication?

Mastication is a fuel reduction treatment method used in forestry management to reduce wildfire risk, to reduce fuel loadings by returning the forest to natural conditions.  Mastication can assist in removing some trees in the early stages, to allow the remaining trees to grow faster, stronger and larger.

What Are The Benefits Of Forestry Mastication?

Cost Effective
