We restore invaded, fire-prone California landscapes to native plant communities, and prove it with survey-grade records. The work is the same underneath. What changes is what you have to answer for. Find your situation below.
PRC 4292 and 4293, CPUC General Order 95 Rule 35, and your Wildfire Mitigation Plan commitments all mandate clearance around lines, poles, and equipment. But clearance leaves disturbed, bare ground, and disturbed bare ground is precisely what invasive annual grasses colonize first. Within a season, fine fuel is back around the very equipment you cleared, and the span goes back on the schedule. You are paying to mow the same miles forever, and the underlying fuel condition never improves.
We take cleared corridors and buffer zones and establish native plant communities in them: species that hold the ground against annual grass reinvasion instead of leaving it open for the next colonizer.
Then we keep watching it. Seasonal monitoring flags invasive regrowth against known plant locations before it re-establishes, so the corridor trends toward less re-treatment rather than more.
Every plant we put in the ground enters an append-only, survey-grade ledger: species, RTK GNSS position accurate to ±30 cm, condition, and date, per plant, per season, never overwritten. Current state is derived from history, so the record cannot be quietly rewritten after the fact.
That is documentation built for Wildfire Mitigation Plan reporting, CPUC scrutiny, and audit trails that have to survive review years after the crew left. All drone hardware we fly is US-built and NDAA-compliant.
Fuel-reduction funding treats the same ground cycle after cycle. Mastication and mowing without revegetation leave disturbed soil that feeds the invasion cycle rather than breaking it, so the treated-acre count climbs while the underlying fuel condition stays where it was. Meanwhile grant deliverables increasingly ask for documented, maintained outcomes, not just a tally of acres treated.
Invasive removal, sheet mulching, and native planting matched to the site (oak woodland, grassland, or chaparral), followed by seasonal drone monitoring.
The output is not just a completed treatment. It is a permanent, parcel-level record of what went into the ground, exactly where, and how it has held since.
We operate as an implementation contractor, SAM.gov registered and available for RCD, county, and agency subcontracts.
Deliverables include a verifiable observation history for every plant: evidence you can attach to close-out reporting and carry forward through multi-year maintenance and monitoring requirements, rather than reconstructing it from photos and invoices later.
Federal · State of California · County & municipal. Procurement paths differ; we work within all three.
For owners of roughly 2+ acres in high fire hazard severity zones and WUI communities.
You pay for weed abatement every single year. And between mows, the oat grass regrows into exactly the flash fuel you paid to remove: cured, continuous, and ready well before the worst of the season. The invoice arrives on schedule and the risk resets on schedule. Your costs never stop, and your actual exposure never really drops.
A single restoration project replaces the annual mowing treadmill with native cover that needs less attention every year as it establishes. Because natives close the canopy and hold the ground, maintenance declines instead of inflating.
Against hand-crew abatement on oak woodland and slopes, restoration typically breaks even in about four to five years, and the gap keeps widening after that. Run the numbers on your own acreage →
Defensible space that looks like a landscape rather than a moonscape. Healthier oak woodland, because the competition for water is no longer a continuous carpet of annual grass.
And dated, survey-grade documentation of mitigation completed and maintained, a record you can put in front of your insurance carrier. California's Safer from Wildfires framework ties discounts to documented mitigation; what we can provide is the documentation, not the carrier's decision.
A corridor, a county project, and a 12-acre parcel are different contracts with different paperwork. Underneath, they get the same four steps and the same record.
An RTK survey establishes survey-grade positions (±30 cm) and existing vegetation before anything is touched.
Invasive annual grasses are removed and suppressed with sheet mulch, so the cleared ground doesn't simply hand itself back.
Fire-resilient California natives suited to the site (oak woodland, grassland, or chaparral), each tagged at planting.
Drone re-surveys re-observe every known plant, flag invasive regrowth, and append to the ledger. Nothing is ever overwritten.
