Weed Abatement in Rancho Santa Fe, CA

Yes, landscaped properties in Rancho Santa Fe still require abatement of dry grasses, dead brush, and combustible debris within all defensible space zones. Ornamental irrigated planting does not replace the clearance requirements set by the fire district.

Weed abatement covers the full 100 feet of defensible space around your structure, plus vegetation within 20 feet of any road or driveway on your parcel. All three home ignition zones from 0 to 100 feet require year-round maintenance.

Contact a land clearing crew right away to schedule the work before the district's deadline passes. If the hazard is not cleared in time, the district can hire its own contractor and bill you through a special assessment on your property.
