As wildfire seasons grow longer and more intense across British Columbia, proactive landscape management is essential for protecting your home and property. At Ascent Yard Care, we provide expert FireSmart landscaping, vegetation clearing, and defensible space services in Sidney, BC — helping you reduce risk and gain peace of mind.
Our experienced team follows the FireSmart BC framework, combining smart design with effective clearing and fuel reduction practices. Whether you’re in a rural fire interface zone or a residential neighborhood, we’ll help you create a buffer zone that slows or stops fire from reaching your structures.
What We Do
Defensible Space Creation
We clear, thin, and reduce combustible vegetation around your home, outbuildings, fences, and access routes—divided into critical zones (0–10m, 10–30m, and 30–100m) for optimal protection.
Tree, Shrub & Brush Management
We selectively prune or remove trees, hedges, shrubs, and overgrowth to eliminate ladder fuels and reduce fire intensity.
Fire-Resistant Planting
We design and install low-flammability gardens using fire-adapted species, stone or mulch groundcovers, and spacing strategies that break fuel continuity.
Mulch & Ground Surface Modifications
We replace risky wood chips and organic debris near structures with non-combustible materials or low-risk mulches.
Fuel Load Reduction
We remove deadfall, pine needles, ivy, broom, bramble, and dense underbrush that can rapidly ignite or spread flame.
Who It’s For
- Homes in wooded, rural, or interface zones
- Acreages with dense vegetation or overgrowth
- Strata properties or subdivisions seeking community fire prevention
- Homeowners in Sidney preparing for hotter, drier summers
- Anyone concerned about wildfire insurance requirements
