Firebreaks and vegetation clearance for rural and forested properties.
Planned by a Chartered Environmentalist to comply with Lei 3/2007 and protect houses, fincas and woodland from wildfire — annual schedule and written documentation included.
Galician woodland punishes neglect.
A single intervention solves nothing if regrowth isn't managed. We design a realistic schedule and execute it for you.
See environmental consultancyGalicia accounts for a large share of Spain's forest fires. Properties surrounded by eucalyptus, pine or scrub need a maintained perimeter year-round, not just in summer.
Minimum distances (50 m clear of pyrophytic species, cleared perimeter strips) are the owner's responsibility whether they live on site or not. Non-compliance carries fines.
Eucalyptus, acacia, mimosa and gorse regrow aggressively after cutting. Without a maintenance schedule the perimeter becomes fuel again in under a year.
We deliver a plan of the treated strip, before/after photos and the applicable regulation references — ready for the council or your insurer.
A clear scope, no surprises.
- Mechanical and manual clearance of the 50 m perimeter strip
- Selective felling of eucalyptus, pine and acacia within the legal distance
- Firebreak creation and maintenance along boundaries and internal tracks
- Removal and chipping of cut material (on-site or hauled away)
- Annual maintenance plan calibrated to the plot's risk profile
- Technical report with plan, photos and regulatory references
Owners who can't be on the land all year.
- Foreign owners of rural fincas or houses with adjoining woodland.
- Second homes in Galicia's rural parishes.
- Woodland owners sharing a boundary with dwellings.
- Comunidades de montes and neighbour associations.
