Landscape services designed for managed properties
Plan ember-resistant landscaping near buildings and align improvements with applicable local wildfire defensible-space requirements. Bay Pro focuses its website and assessment process on HOA common areas, professionally managed apartment properties and commercial sites in San Francisco Bay Area.
Each property differs in planting, irrigation infrastructure, traffic patterns, budget and management requirements. A site-specific scope is more useful than a generic price per acre.
What a property assessment can cover
- Five-foot perimeter assessment
- Combustible mulch and material review
- Hardscape and low-combustibility concepts
- Coordination with local fire guidance
A project assessment can clarify priorities, site access, desired service frequencies and constraints. Final services and pricing are subject to site review and a written proposal.
Planning a practical scope
Have your property address, preferred start date, approximate area and maintenance or improvement concerns ready. Photos, recent water bills or an existing scope of work may also help when discussing a conversion or irrigation project.
Frequently asked questions
Is the five-foot Zone Zero rule already applicable everywhere?
No. Applicable regulations, dates and enforcement depend on state and local requirements. Check current guidance for the property.
Know which fire-safety rules apply
Zone Zero commonly refers to the first five feet next to a structure, where reducing combustible materials can help limit ember ignition. Exact requirements and deadlines depend on adopted state and local regulations and the building's hazard classification.
Check the CAL FIRE defensible space guidance and your local fire authority before specifying work. A property-specific design should also account for accessibility, drainage and other code requirements.
Does Zone Zero mean removing all landscaping?
Not necessarily. The goal is reducing ignition exposure near structures; the appropriate treatment depends on current rules and site conditions.
