5. Landscaping for wildfire prevention Drought conditions in the Santa Barbara region make wildfire prevention a true concern for property owners, especially for communities at the base of the Santa Ynez Mountains that experience frequent sundowners—high temperature surges created by the release of superheated air. Here buildings and the landscape around them must be designed with regard for fire safety. Protecting one’s investment is a primary concern in how properties in these areas are developed.

6. The Cal Fire website makes the following recommendations for two key zones as they relate to the building envelope: • In the first thirty feet all dead landscape material including branches, leaves, grasses, and weeds should be removed. Trees in this zone should be no closer than ten feet from each other and dead branches within ten feet of the building should be removed. It is critical to evaluate the separation of landscaping and structures including decks, overhangs, and furnishings in this zone to slow the spread of fire. • Extending to 100 feet from the building, shrubs and trees should be spaced to prevent a “ladder” effect that allows fire to climb from smaller shrubs up adjacent trees, thus intensifying its impact. Local authorities often establish the formulas for such vertical spacing and will gladly provide the information to homeowners.

7. Particular attention is paid to dead plant materials, which are like kindling in a wildfire situation. So too can shrubs and perennials be overly dry and conducive to the spread of fire in their “off seasons” or during hot summers. A Santa Barbara landscape contractorcan evaluate the landscape and help determine which plants need to be removed or simply cut back until new growth can come in the following season. And, as the work can be laborious for the average homeowner, hire your contractor to make your home safer from wildfire with regular cleanups and inspection for adherence to the protection guidelines.
