We were recently contacted by Marin Living Magazine<\/a> for a story they are putting together on innovative ways to incorporate fire safe landscape practices. With the drought this year and California’s ever increasing fire danger, it’s an important subject.<\/p>\n

A good fire safe landscape scheme is one that mitigates risk by using appropriate plantings, defensible space, smart design (especially next to buildings), and appropriate construction materials. One great resource\u00a0 is Fire Safe Marin<\/a> and their list of fire resistant plantings.<\/p>\n

Here are some our favorite choices for fire safe plantings from the Marin list via our awesome Plantmaster database online software.<\/p>\n
