It’s no secret the issues around wildfires are becoming more and more prevalent in the Okanagan. At Hedgehogs, we take fire safety very seriously. The common misconception people have is that being central, in an urban environment, their home cannot be affected. However, thermal conductively is not the main cause of forest fires spreading to your home. Embers are. And as we saw in 2023, embers can travel huge distances and even across lakes! Give us a call, and let us help protect your home this summer.

Services:

Cleanouts

Cleaning out your cedars/hedges regularly is an important part of keeping your yard fire safe. Using the latest tools and equipment, Hedgehogs will leave your hedges and shrubs cleaner than ever, while still maintaining their appeal and appearance.

Hedge/Shrub Removal

Many hedges, especially cedars, can present a huge risk, especially when planted close to a house. Imagine a wick going from your yard to your house. At Hedgehogs we can remove your hedges/shrubs, whether you want them cut down to ground level or pulled right out of the ground to make way for something new.

Firesmart Hedge Installs

There are so many different varieties of plants that can create a beautiful hedge, many of which provide excellent privacy while also being firesmart. This picture shows an example of a stunning Mock Orange which is a very good choice for a fire resistant hedge alternative.

Gutter Cleaning

The roof of a house is very vulnerable to fires. Keeping your gutters clean will eliminate a fuel source since embers can easily ignite the dry material within them.
