A Guide to Applying Our Fire Retardant in Residential Landscapes
🔥 Why Hillsides Matter
Sloped terrain accelerates fire spread. Embers roll downhill, flames climb uphill. Treating these areas with fire retardant is a critical step in defending your home.
✅ Step-by-Step: How to Treat a Lush Hillside
1. Identify High-Risk Zones
- Focus on slopes within 0–100 feet of structures
- Prioritize areas with dense vegetation, ornamental shrubs, and tree canopies
- Include fence lines, retaining walls, and under tree drip lines
2. Choose Our Fire Retardant
- Use our clear fire retardant approved for residential vegetation
- Our products are biodegradable and safe for landscaping people and pets
- Apply before peak fire season and reapply after heavy rain
3. Apply Strategically
- Spray from the base of the slope upward
- Coat shrubs, grasses, and tree trunks evenly
- Don’t forget under eaves, fence lines, and mulch beds
🌿 Pro Tips for Homeowners
- Water first, retardant second: Moisture helps retardant adhere better
- Treat Fences and other flammable materials
- Create access paths: Ensure safe footing for spraying on slopes
- Combine with defensible space: Remove dead plants, trim trees, and space out shrubs
🏡 Make It a Routine
Treating vegetation isn’t a one-time fix. Incorporate fire retardant application into your seasonal home maintenance checklist — especially before summer heat waves and Santa Ana winds.
