Land Clearing is About Safety First


The recent Crooked Creek wildfire in McDowell County burned nearly 220 acres, displacing families and sending emergency crews into overdrive. The culprit? Post-hurricane dry brush and downed trees that lit up like matchsticks when a tree fell on a power line. 

Sounds familiar? That’s because many of us still have remnants of Hurricane Helene sitting in our backyards, waiting to become kindling for the next big fire.

Here’s the deal—brush clearing and removing downed trees isn’t just about aesthetics. It’s about safety. When you leave dry vegetation lying around, you’re essentially rolling out the red carpet for wildfires. These materials burn fast, allowing flames to spread rapidly, putting your home and your neighbors at risk.

Take Action Now Before It's Too Late

But the solution is simple: take action now.

  • Remove dead trees and fallen branches from your property.

  • Clear out overgrown brush, especially near your home.

  • Maintain a defensible space of at least 30 feet around your house.

  • Keep gutters and roofs free of leaves and debris.


According to the North Carolina Forest Service, Last year, nearly 50% of the wildfires in North Carolina were the result of careless backyard burning. Remember, you are the best defense against wildfire. Don't burn - let us remove your brush, downed trees and debris it for you!
