Terrapin Defensible Space
At Terrapin Defensible Space, we are a team of retired wildland firefighters with a shared passion for protecting homes and communities from the devastating effects of wildfires. With years of on-the-ground experience, we understand the critical importance of creating defensible space to safeguard your property and loved ones. Our mission is simple: to provide honest, fair, and expert services that help you prepare for the unexpected. We pride ourselves on offering top-quality work, guided by the same integrity and dedication we upheld throughout our firefighting careers. We know what it takes to reduce risk and enhance fire safety, and we bring that knowledge directly to you, with a focus on clear communication, reliability, and thoroughness. Whether you're looking to clear brush, create defensible space, or consult on wildfire preparedness, we’re here to help. Our reputation is built on trust, and we treat every property as if it were our own.
"I just finished working with Terrapin for the 2nd time, and I'm as happy & satisfied as ever with the service they provide. They came down to our property in West Reno and provided us with extensive tree trimming and disposal services, as well as a thorough defensible space evaluation. They were also able to climb our larger trees without damaging them and safely lower heavy branches that were overgrowing our roof and skylights. Zach (the owner) is a consummate professional and is truly dedicated to his work. I'm really glad we've found this company so soon. We will continue to utilize Terrapin for all of our arbor, defensible space, and land management needs."
