Professional Fire Prevention Clearing in Portland
Wildfire risk is a reality for Portland-area properties near forested or brushy areas. We create defensible space around your home or business — reducing fuel loads and giving firefighters a safer zone to protect your property.
We remove ladder fuels, clear brush and dead vegetation, thin nearby trees, and establish proper defensible space zones following fire-safety best practices.

What Our Customers Say
"Austin at Stephens Landscaping is amazing! The fact that he's running this business and doing all the hard labor by himself shows what a hard worker he is! He was very clear about what steps were needed in order to have what I wanted in my yard! Fair prices too!"
"I had an excellent experience with Austin at Stephens Landscaping! He was very thorough in explaining how the process would work and how he could bring my dream front yard to life! I couldn't be more happy with how it turned out. Very competitively priced and got our job done in one day!"
"Stephen's Landscaping recently cleaned up my yard for spring and did a great job. He pruned a lot of plants and bushes, cleaned up all the dead leaves, raked, etc. Now it's easier for me to maintain the yard for spring and summer. Will definitely hire him again."
