Lake Tahoe Defensible Space

Lake Tahoe Defensible Space

Defensible space is a critical buffer zone around Lake Tahoe homes that helps reduce wildfire risk and meets strict local safety regulations. Rising wildfire threats, driven by hotter, drier summers and dense forests, make it essential for homeowners to clear debris, trim vegetation, and maintain three key zones: immediate (0–5 feet), intermediate (5–30 feet), and extended (30–100 feet or to the property line). Agencies like CAL FIRE and the Tahoe Regional Planning Agency set the standards for inspections and compliance. Ongoing maintenance is required to keep properties safe and insurance valid. Diamond D Construction offers expert defensible space assessments, clearing, and maintenance services—helping both year-round and absentee homeowners stay compliant and protect their investment for the future.
