Landscaping for Wildfire Defense
In this video, you'll learn how to defend your home against fire through defensive landscaping practices, including utilizing the naturally fire-resilient adaptations of native plants. Defensible Space refers to the area surrounding your home that can help protect it from loss or damage in a wildfire. By employing strategic garden design, careful plant selection, and proper maintenance, you can create a beautiful garden that is fire defensive, resilient, and rich in habitat. Discover the remarkable characteristics of California native plants that provide protective services to homes and structures during and after a fire. For example, the massive canopy of a coast live oak (Quercus agrifolia) can shield your home by extinguishing embers that travel miles ahead of a fire, while the deep roots of species such as toyon (Heteromeles arbutifolia) help stabilize slopes and prevent mudslides after a fire.

I love it so much!
Hi Cassy - you did a GREAT job on this! I love the emphasis on hydration over plant lists, and the importance of maintaining an appropriate mulch layer to help the ecology (and health) of the plants. You also touched on important structural considerations, like Zone 0, layering, and spacing. The only thing I would add is if you are watering with drip, then just set up some temporary overhead oscillating sprinkling for the first couple months to help consolidate and densify the mulch layer, which has very positive consequences for flame height (~2” on matted down Gorilla hair, for instance). Up north they are banning shredded redwood like crazy, not appreciating its important contribution to the hydration and health of the native installations, nor its ability to "knit up" to form a dense, poorly oxygenated fuel. Great job! - Greg
Great video and beautiful garden!
How often should they be watered?
Thank you so much Alejandro, that was so helpful! I planted today and a Monarch visited the plant within 30 minutes, magic. I hope you start your own UA-cam channel, you have a real talent for teaching and speaking.
How often should I water during dry season? Should I use and compost or fertilizer?
This was great information
Hi! Would the same planting timeline apply somewhere hot like Sacramento?
Magical place where you can actually see the water from the spring coming out of the ground.
❤muy bien explicado. Gracias
My family is from Compton too (60s - 70s . Grandma moved out with her sisters from an orphanage in Kentucky. They were both amazing gardeners. I didn’t realize how impactful heirloom genetics and traditional/cultural techniques had until later as an adult. Post WWII LA had a true melting pot of folks bringing their best farming and cultivation knowledge to the area and it really showed in residential gardens. Your style skill shows your connection to this wonderful legacy. 💚
You make it look so easy.
excellent!
I appreciate your non-snobbish attitude about using nonnative plants that are not invasive when they suit your environment. Your grandmother taught you a lot.
“It’s our responsibility as homeowners to protect these species.” I love that!
How did you / they make / prep / maintain the path?
Are you not concerned about the absolute aphid infestation on those baby seedlings?
I’ve read that with cardboard & paper, this can bring termites. Is there something i can do to use this method but also avoid a situation like that?
Here after watching " The Guardian of the monarchs" in Netflix 😭
Thank you for doing this!
Love the garden, love the half-pipe and love the sick skater skills ❤🔥🤟
Wow, great video! I could not find any other video or site that dived this deep into the process of growing Milkweed from seed.
Thank you Alejandro! Your passion and positive attitude is contagious. You have a bright future. God bless you!
😊 I knew she knew her stuff when she included that she used introduced plants that weren't considered invasive, a lot of people just automatically think that introduced plants are invasive or that they cannot be part of your garden. I prefer trying to avoid as many as possible but having a few that you researched and no is an invasive are totally fine
Great video with a very thoughtful delivery. Excellent information!
Where do i get these program rebates? I have 20 acres out of my 60 acres i want to re wild with native wildflowers and grasses, but 1 acre of native grass seed is $1200…i dont want to spend $30k…will the government pay me to do this?
Native plants are so beautiful...
Thank you for the excellent instruction! I feel more confident to begin this project. Bendiciones!
Hola dónde te encuentras ? Yo estoy en tucson he intentado germinar las semillas desde el año pasado y no crecen!! Podrías enviarme de la semilla que tú utilizas ?? Como te contacto ? Gracias
Love your skating and your garden! Thank you for sharing, this gives me confidence to try to create a wildlife habitat with California natives.
That was sick. Skaters could be the ultimate guerilla gardeners
Loved this 🥹
I once lived across the street from here. Moved in 1989.
Good to see some succulents and agaves in there as well
Far and away THE BEST how to video. Thank you!
Any update of the garden?
Thank you sir, very informative, !!!
So beautiful! A new subscriber to your channel!
This is so awesome!!! Thank you!!
Such a great guide!
Glad it was helpful!
I love love love what you've done. What zone are you there? I'm 10b in San Diego and am pretty much starting over. I have some creative Hardscapes on my third acre and you have inspired me to try to keep going. My former cottage garden was fantastic but when i had no choice but to remove the podocarpus, it changed the whole micro climate. I'm hoping I can find more of your visions for my inspirations. Thanks!!!
Great video It’s amazing to see your knowledge and understanding of the land and climate. Unfortunately people in my country (Israel) Are planting exclusively invasive plants because they’re giving more shade 🤦🏻♂️. They’re destroying the ecosystem, and not understanding the richness of shrubs Mediterranean climate has.
Amazing, would love an update over time! And more in depth discussion about the specific plants you choose
Well done. And good on the homeowner.
Very helpful thank you!
Is raising showy milkweed the same? I want to get an early start and plant indoors.. is this possible?
I do this is Kansas and this is similar to how we do it too.
Great information. Thank you!
Glad it was helpful!
I gathered a buttload and just scattered it in appropriate places like the wind does
