Why Coyote Brush

A different kind of land clearing company

We started with a simple belief: California's land deserves careful hands. Heavy equipment and clear-cut shortcuts damage soil, root systems, and the native plants that make this place worth protecting. We work differently.

Trained Arborists

Every crew includes professionals who understand which plants stay, which go, and how to protect what remains.

Minimal Invasive Equipment

We match the machine to the job. Compact tools and hand work where they matter, scaled equipment when terrain allows.

Timed to California Weather

We track conditions from the Central Coast to the Sierra so your land is cleared at the right moment for growth and safety.

Common Questions

What homeowners ask us first

What is defensible space and why does California require it?

Defensible space is the buffer between a structure and surrounding vegetation that slows or stops the spread of wildfire. California's Public Resources Code 4291 requires 100 feet of clearance for homes in State Responsibility Areas, broken into zones with different rules for each.

How much does brush clearing cost in California?

Pricing depends on terrain, vegetation density, access, and haul-away needs. Most residential properties fall between $500 and $4,000. We provide free on-site estimates so the number you see is the number you pay.

When is the best time to clear brush?

Late winter through early spring is ideal in most of California, before vegetation peaks and well before fire season tightens restrictions. The Sierra and Tahoe Basin run on a later calendar than the Central Coast.

Will brush clearing damage my native plants and trees?

Not when done correctly. Our crews are trained to identify protected species, oaks, and habitat features. We preserve native cover wherever it does not threaten structures.

Do you handle steep or hard-to-access properties?

Yes. Hillsides, ravines, and remote parcels are where we do some of our best work. Compact equipment and skilled hand crews reach areas large operators cannot.
