Defensible Space Creation Service Overview
Understanding Defensible Space
In the regions prone to wildfires, like Northern Nevada, creating a defensible space is crucial for safeguarding your property. A defensible space is a carefully planned landscape designed to slow or halt the spread of fire, providing valuable time for firefighters to protect assets. Our service at Pinnacle Landscaping focuses on designing such spaces that do not compromise on aesthetics.
The Three Zones of Defensible Space
- Zone 1: This zone is closest to the house and involves the strategic management of vegetation. We prioritize the removal or reduction of combustible materials and ensure plant and tree spacing adequately prevents fire from spreading.
- Zone 2: In this area, we focus on plant health and maintenance to further prevent the risk of fires reaching the home. This involves regular pruning, the use of fire-retardant plants, and creating breaks with gravel, pathways, or driveways.
- Zone 3: This area extends further out and is maintained to slow down any approaching wildfire. We employ techniques such as thinning overcrowded plants and cutting back dead or overgrown vegetation.

Clients share their experiences
A closer look at their success stories
We had ambitious plans to convert our yard from bare dirt left by the builders to an oasis which would complement the views of the Sierras, cater for our dogs, provide shaded seating, and meet all our HOA requirements. Chris and the Pinnacle Landscaping teams did a superb job converting our ideas into a reality that more than matched our imagining. Pinnacle brought great ideas, integrated our HOA requirements, and included our feedback and changes along the way to achieve the best results including hard landscaping construction, artificial turf areas, reworked drainage, irrigation, lighting, and even installation of a pergola we had sourced separately – and the final cost was under the estimated budget with no last-minute surprises! Very satisfied with both the experience and the results! Thanks Chris and the Pinnacle Landscaping team!
We interviewed 14 landscapers for our project, and Pinnacles Landscaping was the only one willing to meet our needs. On top of that, their quote was very reasonable. During the landscaping process, their team demonstrated professionalism, efficiency, strong communication, and flexibility. Since this was our first project, we changed our minds a few times. We were surprised and happy that they supported us every step of the way. We are truly grateful and delighted with their work.
Great communication and quick service!
