Seasonal care & follow-up

Caring for your home and the land around it

Understand the home ignition zone and how planned vegetation pretreatment fits alongside home hardening, defensible space and ongoing care.

Think about the home and landscape together

The home ignition zone includes the structure and its surroundings. Colorado State Forest Service guidance brings together two considerations: how readily the building can ignite and the condition of nearby fuels. This is a helpful way to organize your property priorities because a well-cared-for landscape and a well-prepared home support the same overall goal.

Begin at the building

Start with the home before focusing on distant acreage. CSFS highlights debris on roofs, decks and gutters, along with features such as vents and combustible connections near the structure. A qualified local professional can help identify appropriate improvements. WTG’s vegetation pretreatment service does not repair these features or replace work required on the building itself.

Work outward through the landscape

CSFS describes management areas at 0–5 feet, 5–30 feet and 30–100 feet from the home, with the outer distance described for relatively flat ground. These are landscape-management guides, not automatic spray bands. Local conditions, terrain and requirements should inform the actual plan for each building, including detached structures.

Consider where pretreatment may fit

Once priorities and suitable vegetation are understood, WTG can review selected areas for professional Komodo ground application. The proposal should identify the specific work, preparation and exclusions. A defined service helps you decide how application fits within the larger project without assuming that spraying vegetation completes every part of wildfire preparedness.

Keep the plan useful as the property changes

Record completed home improvements, grounds work and any application, then update the picture as vegetation or property use changes. Share relevant information with caretakers and contractors. If you would like WTG to review suitable pretreatment areas, request a quote with your address and current photos. You can begin that conversation while other improvements are still being planned.
