fire-safe landscaping

Defensible space design and implementation that reduces wildfire risk for North Bay estate properties protecting what matters without sacrificing beauty.

THE SERVICE

Safety and elegance, working together

For Napa Valley, Sonoma County, and Marin estate owners, fire safety is not optional; it's essential. The region's history has made that unmistakably clear. But defensible space doesn't have to mean stripped, barren, or ugly. At Clerici, we've developed a deep expertise in creating landscapes that are genuinely fire-resistant while remaining beautiful, natural-feeling, and worthy of the properties they protect.


Our fire-safe landscaping program creates the layered defensive zones required by California regulations while preserving the aesthetic character of your estate. We select fire-resistant plants, manage fuel loads, maintain proper spacing, and build a landscape that is as safe as it is stunning.


  • Zone 0–30' perimeter: ember-resistant, low-fuel, high-maintenance zone


  • Zone 30–100': reduced fuel load, spaced plantings, maintained clearance


  • Fire-resistant plant selection from Napa & Sonoma native palette


  • Ongoing maintenance to keep fuel loads consistently low


  • CAL FIRE compliance guidance and documentation
  • CAL FIRE Compliance

    We design to meet current California defensible space requirements while pushing for the best possible aesthetic outcome.
