Last January, the Palisades and Eaton Canyon fires reminded us just how quickly our world can change. Those devastating wildfires weren’t distant headlines—they hit our own neighborhoods, impacting families, businesses, and landscapes we know and love. At Stay Green, we haven’t forgotten.

Those fires were fueled in part by a powerful natural force we know all too well in Southern California: the Santa Ana winds.

While the winds don’t usually arrive in full force until fall, now—in August—is the time to prepare. Because when they hit, they hit fast. And waiting until then to act is often too late.

At Stay Green, we believe proactive care is the best protection. That means:

• Pruning trees to eliminate weak or dead limbs
• Clearing brush, leaves, and debris from vulnerable areas
• Ensuring irrigation systems are working efficiently
• Evaluating overall property health to reduce fire risk

It’s about more than just maintenance—it’s about readiness. And this kind of work takes planning, which is why we’re encouraging our clients to act early.

As a company rooted entirely in Southern California, Stay Green understands this region’s landscapes like no one else. It’s the only place we work, and our teams know how to balance beauty with resilience. We’re sized just right—large enough to handle complex needs, yet personal enough to deliver with care, consistency, and honesty.

Together, we can take smart, proactive steps now to help reduce risk when the winds return. If you’d like a seasonal assessment or support with pre-wind prep, we’re ready to help.

Because this isn’t just about plants and property—it’s about protecting the places we live, work, and raise our families.
