Does Ouray County require defensible space for some projects?

Can trees be retained during clearing?

Clearing land around Ouray

Ouray-area sites often bring steep approaches, wooded slopes, and tighter work areas. Clearing for access or wildfire mitigation requires attention to terrain and what is already built on the property. The goal is to open or manage the agreed area without losing sight of the mountain setting.

Mountain West Site Solutions serves Ouray and the surrounding county with land clearing, selective tree and brush clearing, site preparation, and exterior demolition. Describe the slope, access, and vegetation when you reach out.
