What is Defensible Space and Tree Mastication?
Defensible space is a term used in wildfire management to refer to the area surrounding a building or structure that has been cleared and maintained to reduce the risk of wildfire spreading to the structure. This space can be created through a variety of methods, including the use of fire-resistant vegetation and the removal of flammable materials.
One method of creating defensible space is through the use of tree mastication. Tree mastication involves the mechanical grinding or shredding of trees and vegetation into small pieces. This not only removes flammable materials, but also reduces the amount of fuel available for a wildfire to spread.
Tree mastication has a number of benefits over traditional methods of vegetation removal, such as hand-cutting or burning. For one, it is a much quicker process, allowing for larger areas to be treated in a shorter amount of time. It also minimizes the amount of debris left behind, making clean-up and maintenance easier.
Additionally, tree mastication can have positive impacts on the environment. The small pieces of vegetation left behind can act as mulch, helping to retain moisture and prevent erosion. This can also provide habitat for wildlife and improve soil health.
While tree mastication can be an effective method of creating defensible space, it is important to carefully consider the potential impacts on the surrounding environment and consult with professionals before implementing it. Proper planning and execution can ensure that defensible space is created in a safe and effective manner.

"I was referred by a neighbor, and I wasn't disappointed at all. Treeworx did an amazing job! We had a few trees removed and even more trimmed. They were professional, polite, and as quiet a treework crew could be. They came when they said they would. They did the work they said they'd do, and they did it well. Thank you Sean, Dan and the whole Treeworx team!"
