Summer is the perfect time to take control of your landscape—especially in the fire-prone San Bernardino Mountains. Trimming trees during the warmer months not only promotes healthier growth but also plays a critical role in wildfire prevention, storm safety, and protecting your home from falling branches. Whether you’re creating defensible space or managing tree health, proactive summer maintenance can make all the difference. Let Cumorah Tree Service help you prepare, protect, and preserve your property this season.
San Bernardino County Fire Department requires property owners in mountain areas to maintain defensible space around homes and structures by removing flammable vegetation and debris.
