Under California PRC 4291, homes in fire hazard severity zones must maintain 100 feet of defensible space — most of these contractors also handle the full clearance scope.

Brush clearing is the removal of overgrown chaparral, scrub and understory fuels — the heavy-labor part of wildfire preparedness. For most rural California properties it is how the 100-foot clearance required by PRC 4291 actually gets done.

Do you need a licensed contractor for this?

It depends

Hand clearing of brush, grass and ladder-fuel shrubs needs no license.

Ask for a license (C‑49, C‑27) when the job includes removing trees, pruning trees 15 ft or taller, stump grinding, or grading with a dozer/tractor (A, C‑12, C‑27).
