Clear It
Once.
Keep It
Clear.
Sagebrush, gamble oak regrowth, and ladder fuels don't stop growing because you cleared them last year. Annual RTK-verified brush management keeps your defensible space compliant, your HB 48 documentation current, and your insurance carrier satisfied — without starting from scratch every time.
The Brush
Doesn't Know
You Cleared It.
Vegetation management is not a project with a finish line. Every species that creates fire risk in Utah's WUI zones grows back — fast. One clearing job reduces your risk and satisfies your insurance carrier in year one. By year three, without management, you're back to fuel-load density.
Gamble oak doesn't just grow back — it resprouts aggressively from established root systems after mechanical removal. What looked cleared in spring looks like a thicket by fall. Without annual management, cleared gamble oak stands return to fuel-load density within 2–3 growing seasons. The roots are already there. You're fighting a plant that evolved to survive disturbance.
Cleared areas create open ground that sagebrush colonizes rapidly. Sagebrush is highly volatile — it produces fine fuels that ignite easily and carry fire quickly across slopes. On lower-elevation WUI properties in Kamas, Coalville, and the North Utah County corridor, sagebrush encroachment into previously cleared zones is one of the fastest ways to lose compliance between inspections.
Insurance carriers and municipalities aren't asking for a one-time clearance certificate. They want current documentation — evidence that your property is compliant today, not evidence that it was cleared two years ago. Annual RTK-verified re-assessment gives you updated compliance documentation with each visit, keeping your insurance package current and your HB 48 fees reduced without a full re-clearing every year.
Seasonal Work.
Year-Round
Compliance.
Effective brush management follows Utah's growing season — not a fixed calendar. Spring addresses regrowth from winter dormancy. Fall targets cured vegetation before fire season. Each visit includes an RTK re-scan against your baseline digital twin, spot clearing of regrowth zones, and updated compliance documentation. You stay current without a full re-clearing project every year.
The 30-minute annual re-scan is what makes managed service fundamentally different from starting over. Because ClearGround set your baseline digital twin on the initial clearing, every subsequent visit compares against that same georeferenced model. Regrowth is measured, not estimated. Cleared areas are confirmed, not assumed. Updated compliance docs are generated from the data — not written from memory.
Pick Your
Coverage.
Three tiers built for different property sizes and compliance needs. Every plan includes annual RTK re-scanning and updated HB 48 compliance documentation — because the documentation is the whole point. Lock in annual service and your property stays managed, your views stay open, and your insurance carrier stays satisfied.
EQIP
Scan. Clear.
Document.
Repeat.
The annual management cycle is built around the RTK baseline set during your initial clearing. Every visit compares against that same georeferenced model — so compliance is verified against a fixed standard, not re-evaluated from scratch by a crew with a clipboard each year.
The Mavic 3 Enterprise RTK flies your property and compares the current vegetation state against your baseline digital twin. Gamble oak regrowth is measured by zone. Sagebrush encroachment is mapped. New dead trees are flagged. The clearing plan for this visit is built from the scan data — not from the crew's visual estimate when they pull up to the property.
Annual management is targeted, not a full re-clearing. Regrowth zones identified in the scan get addressed. Sagebrush that has colonized cleared areas is removed. Ladder fuels that have crept back into Zone 1 are cut. Dead material accumulated since the last visit is chipped. The scope matches what the data shows — not what a crew can fill a day with.
Before leaving the property, the digital twin is updated with post-clearing data. The before/after comparison for this visit is appended to your compliance record. An updated HB 48 compliance report is generated — timestamped, zone-verified, and formatted for insurance submission. Your insurance agent, HOA board, and fire district can access the updated 3D model from the same shareable link as before. Nothing to request. Nothing to chase down.
One Clearing Job
Is a Starting Point,
Not a Solution.
The clearing you did last year made your property compliant. What's keeping it compliant this year?
For Anyone Who
Cleared Once and
Wants to Stay Clear.
"I paid for a full clearing two years ago. Now my insurer is asking for updated documentation and I can already see the oak growing back."
Annual managed service is what turns a one-time clearing investment into ongoing compliance. The RTK re-scan takes 30 minutes. Spot clearing addresses regrowth before it becomes a full project. Updated compliance docs go to your carrier automatically.
View management plans →"The first clearing cost a lot. I don't want to do it again in three years because I didn't manage the regrowth. I want it to stay managed."
Gold-tier management covers full-property quarterly vegetation control — so the clearing investment holds its value. Selective management preserves native species and the character of the property while keeping fuel loads below compliance thresholds.
View estate management →"We coordinated a community-wide clearing last year. Now we need a way to keep every property current without restarting the whole program."
ClearGround delivers HOA-scale annual management with per-property tracking, individual compliance reports for each homeowner, and community-wide documentation your board can present to the municipality. One vendor. Ongoing accountability.
