Seasonal Task Calendar Preview

These are typical defensible-space tasks by season. Your exact fire season, timing, and local reminders vary by region, that is what the optional Season Watch membership sends you.

Early spring

  • Clear winter debris (fallen branches, wet leaves) from Zone 0 and gutters
  • Inspect vents and roof for winter storm damage
  • Start scheduling any contractor work (roof, vents, decking) before peak season demand

Late spring / early summer

  • Cut annual grasses and weeds before they fully dry out
  • Confirm irrigation is running for Zone 1 plantings
  • Re-check Zone 0 clearance, since spring growth moves fast

Summer (peak season in many regions)

  • Mow dry grass regularly in Zone 2
  • Keep firewood and other fuel stacked away from structures
  • Re-photograph your defensible space for your documentation log

Fall

  • Clear gutters of dry leaves and needles again before fall winds
  • Do a final walk-through before your region's typical fire-weather peak
  • Update your photo log with end-of-season conditions
