Defensible Space

Defensible Space Services in Central Oregon

Practical clearing and excavation support to reduce combustible material and improve access around Central Oregon homes.

Defensible space work can reduce brush, juniper, dead vegetation, and other combustible material near structures while improving access around a property.

Frey Excavation provides practical clearing, debris handling, and grading support in Bend and across Central Oregon. Defensible space can reduce fuel and improve access, but it cannot eliminate wildfire risk.

For clearing a defined building area, driveway, access route, or utility corridor rather than fuel reduction near structures, see Land Clearing and Lot Clearing.

What the work includes

Brush and vegetation reduction

Removing approved brush, juniper, dead vegetation, and other combustible material from identified work areas near structures.

Access route clearing
