Fire-ready yard cleanup before inspection season
SnapWork does fire-ready yard cleanups in half-day and full-day blocks: clearing dry leaves, weeds and dead plants you can reach from the ground, clearing reachable gutters, and stacking branches. The pro can also sort branches you already cut into a neat pile for a county chipping program. Tree climbing, chainsaw work, hauling and inspection certificates are not part of it. We work across Napa County and Solano County.

Not included
- Tree climbing and chainsaw work
- Hauling green waste away
- A defensible space inspection or certificate
Half day or full day
The half-day block covers up to four hours; the full day up to eight. The pro starts closest to the house and works out, because that's where dry fuel matters most.
County chipping programs
Napa County Fire runs a free chipping program for homes in unincorporated Napa County. It has rules for how piles are stacked: within five feet of a road or driveway, cut ends facing the road, and stems no thicker than six inches. The pro can stack your branches to those rules. See Napa County's chipping program page to check eligibility and sign up.
What to photograph

Questions people ask
What is defensible space?
The area around a home kept clear of dry plants and debris so a wildfire has less to burn near the house. The few feet right next to the walls matter most.
Does this get me a passing inspection?
No one can promise that. The cleanup removes dry fuel you can reach from the ground. Your fire department decides what passes.
Can you chip the branches?
The pro stacks your cut branches into a neat pile for a chipping program. Signing up for the program and the chipping itself are done by the program.
When should I book a fire-ready cleanup?
Before the dry season, in late winter and spring, when grass and weeds have grown but before they dry out.
