Defensible Space Done Right

We follow Colorado’s defensible space guidelines and go further where the terrain calls for it. Every property gets a plan based on its specific fuel load, slope, and proximity to structures.

Defensible Space Creation

Clearing and thinning vegetation in zones around your home according to county and state fire mitigation standards.

Dead Tree and Brush Removal

Targeted removal of standing dead timber, accumulated brush, and ladder fuels that carry fire from the ground into the canopy.

Fire Break Installation

Cleared strips and gravel buffers that slow or stop fire spread across your property.

Tree Spacing and Thinning

Proper crown separation so fire can’t jump from tree to tree across your lot.

Fuel Load Reduction

Removing accumulated pine needles, downed wood, and dense undergrowth that act as kindling during dry conditions.

Ongoing Maintenance Plans

Scheduled follow-up visits to keep your defensible space effective as vegetation grows back over time.

What We Deliver

A Cat 289D compact track loader grading dirt

Defensible space that meets county fire recommendations and keeps the healthy trees and natural character of your mountain property intact.

Fire Protection That Starts Before Fire Season

Colorado’s mountain properties carry real wildfire risk, and the work to reduce that risk needs to happen well before anything is burning. We clear hazardous fuel loads, create proper defensible zones, and space your trees to slow fire spread, all while keeping your property looking like a mountain property and not a clear-cut lot.

Our crew knows how fire behaves on steep, wooded terrain. That knowledge shows in where we cut, what we leave, and how we set your property up to be as fire-resistant as possible.

Seamless, high quality work and great communication. Mountainside Land Service listened to what I wanted and executed the vision perfectly. Made knowledgeable suggestions and were never pushy. Would work with them again anytime. Thank you to Jason and his team.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Our gravel driveway in Fraser had potholes and poor grading. Mountainside Land Services did an A+-top-notch job of refinishing the drive--it looked like you could spread a picnic blanket on it. And Jason was a pleasure to work with. He took care of everything without the need for a f-2-f meeting: site visit, quote, convenient scheduling, flexibility, photos when the work was done. And his price was very reasonable, below other quotes, and well worth it. Thank you, Jason. Two thumbs up!

Jason was great to work with and did an excellent job! He went the extra mile to make sure I was completely satisfied and happy with the work. I look forward to working with him again.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. 5 Stars – Excellent Work and Professional Service We recently hired Mountainside Land  Services to help protect our barn from flooding, and we couldn’t be more pleased with the results. They built a well-constructed berm and raised the surrounding grade to divert water away from the structure. In addition, they installed a water collection box with piping to safely drain excess water away from the area. From start to finish, Jason is professional, efficient, and clearly experienced. He took the time to understand the layout of our property and designed a solution that addressed both our immediate needs and long-term drainage. The quality of work speaks for itself — everything was completed on time, and the site was left clean and tidy. Highly recommended for anyone looking for dependable, thoughtful excavation work!
