Fire season is approaching in the San Joaquin Valley, and now is the time to evaluate the trees on your Bakersfield property for defensible space. The goal isn't indiscriminate removal — it's targeted pruning and clearance to eliminate fire pathways near your home.
Key risks to assess: branches overhanging the roof or eaves, dead limbs in the canopy, and continuous vegetation ladders from ground level up through the tree canopy. General Tree Service's ISA-certified arborists identify the minimum intervention needed to reduce risk without losing healthy trees unnecessarily.
