About FireWise Horticulture Services
FireWise Horticulture Services was founded to help Front Range homeowners create landscapes that are both beautiful and better prepared for Colorado’s increasing wildfire risk.
Many traditional residential landscapes were not originally designed with long-term plant health, water conservation, or wildfire resilience in mind. Over time, dense woody shrubs, poorly maintained trees, and irrigation-heavy plantings can accumulate combustible material and contribute to declining plant structure — particularly in the immediate area surrounding the home.
FireWise Horticulture Services provides consulting, design, and maintenance focused on improving landscape resilience through plant selection, pruning strategy, and long-term care.
Our services emphasize:
Consultation and site-specific guidance to improve wildfire readiness
Landscape design using climate-appropriate plant selection
Pruning strategies that reduce combustible plant material
Long-term maintenance to support defensible space near structures
Improving plant structure, health, and irrigation efficiency over time
Wildfire preparedness in the landscape is not just about removing plants — it is about managing them appropriately over time.
This approach allows homeowners to improve wildfire readiness while maintaining the beauty, function, and ecological value of their gardens.
Whether you are maintaining an existing landscape or planning future improvements, our services are designed to support wildfire-ready homes throughout Colorado’s Front Range.
