Therefore, it is extremely important to prepare and protect your house from wildfires, especially in the summer- time. Some counties and cities will actually fine you if you don’t maintain weeds and grass on your property. The area 5 feet from your house is known as the Immediate Zone and is most vulnerable. It is crucial to clean all fallen leaves, needles, dead plants, and grass clippings from your yard within this zone. It is also important to remove any tree limbs that extend into this area as well as regularly trimming trees, so branches are at a minimum of 10 feet from other trees. If you have slopes, or overgrown areas, be sure the weeds are cut short, and dead trees are removed. Contact the tree care specialists at Gruett Tree Company and we’ll give you a free quote for weed abatement and dead tree and limb removals! For updated fire safety news and guidelines go to: ocfa.org/SafetyPrograms/FireSafety.aspx My backyard is a constant warzone, the war of the roots I call it. Between my neighbor’s Ficus tree, my Carrotwood tree and my Palms, which my architect ever so cleverly planted right by my house, the roots have waged war on my pool, my drainage pipes, and my back-patio’s foundation! I knew the risks if I just started hacking away at them, the trees would go into shock. I also knew that the plastic root barrier I installed around my pool was compromised with the Ficus roots growing through it like a butter knife through a wet napkin. Then we stumbled across the smartest barrier, like ever! It’s called a biobarrier! It is made of a flexi- ble and permeable geotextile fabric, which is easily malleable and bendable to contours and angles, or even wrapped around drainpipes. Every couple inches there are time-release nodules containing a low-level herbicide. The roots sense the herbicide, and redirect, or abscise all together, never making contact with the barrier itself! Need reinforcements in your war of the roots? Call Gruett’s team of ISA Certified Arborists and have their qualified applicators install a biobarrier for you today! Protect your pines from bark beetle! Smart Barrier! Don’t Wait!
