Fire-Resilient Landscape Solutions addresses the two primary determinants of a home's survival in a wildfire: the structure's ignitability and the quality of the surrounding defensible space, or Structure Ignition Zone (SIZ).
Metal noncombustible pergola, fencing, patio furniture, & low ignition decking.
