Your landscape / Your priorities
Start with
what grows here.
The Jefferson County foothills bring grasslands into ponderosa pine and Douglas-fir country. Homes can sit beside both open slopes and wooded ground.
We look at the grass, brush and ground fuels connecting natural areas to the places you use. Your treatment proposal focuses on suitable areas around priority buildings and private access, with cleanup and defensible-space work considered alongside application.
Vegetation varies from property to property. We confirm suitable treatment areas during your assessment.

Why Komodo pretreatment
Treat the fuel.
Prepare ahead.
WTG professionally applies Komodo long-term fire retardant to suitable vegetation and ground fuels before a wildfire occurs.
01 / Fire behavior
Help slow fire spread.
Long-term retardant changes how treated fuel burns, helping slow fire spread and reduce fire intensity. Treatment focuses on the selected fuels within your agreed scope.
02 / Beyond water alone
Works after drying.
The retardant action continues after the application water evaporates. Weather, irrigation and changes to treated vegetation affect when inspection or reapplication is needed.
03 / Professional application
A focused plan for your land.
WTG handles the treatment review, application and completion record. You know which areas are included, what preparation is needed and what the work costs before deciding.
Komodo is described by its manufacturer as colorless and odorless; a white residue may be visible. We discuss appearance and suitability when reviewing your property. Learn more about Komodo.
