Why now

Required by law. Enforced by your insurer.

San Diego County requires 100 feet of defensible space, insurers are inspecting and dropping policies that don’t comply, and the new Zone 0 rule (the first 5 feet) phases in through 2027. We make compliance simple: we clear it, document it, and hand you the proof.
