According to The Washington State Department of Natural Resources, each year wildland fires consume homes in the wildland-urban interface. This is defined as areas where homes are built near or among lands prone to wildland fire. Studies show that as many as 80 percent of homes lost to wildland fire may have been saved if brush around the homes were cleared and defensible space created around structures.
Utilizing forestry mulching to assist in fire prevention and protect your property is an important service we provide property owners. Travis Crabb has extensive experience working with, and for, the Department of Natural Resources to accomplish this goal.
What is "firewise" forestry mulching? This is a term used to describe the reduction of fuel surrounding a dwelling by limiting the amount of flammable vegetation and materials surrounding the structure, and increasing the moisture content of remaining vegetation. The structure, and everything around it up to 100 – 200 feet, is known as the ‘home ignition zone. In areas across the country where the risk of wildfire is high, the home ignition zone extends up to 200 feet beyond the structure.
Our work helps reduce the risk of fire destroying your valuable possessions.

"Heather and Bruce, of BRUCE A. BELL Forestry Mulching are a dynamic duo!… exceptional communication skills, amazing artistic design, thorough mulching and dirt moving above what I had expected and so much more! My overgrown, almost 3 acres, now looks like a beautiful park just ready to put my house on…. “Above and beyond” is the best description I give for this dynamite company!"

“Bruce and his team are always on time, professional and reliable.
I recommend Bruce because his low impact equipment is perfect for preparing vacant land for sale.
The results are amazing."

"He and Heather (his faithful companion [and “boss”]) came out to give me an estimate which, at first, seemed a bit high. He and Heather explained what they and Ron (machine operator) were going to do. Heather further told me that Bruce would do a good job for me and go above and beyond to see that I was satisfied with their work. Being a woman it was nice to hear from another woman (who operates machinery too) how the work would proceed. I had heard such good things about Bruce, and his machine, I made my decision and hired he and his crew to do the work.

"Bruce Bell has completed work on several bank-owned properties for us over the years.
Bruce’s services helped present the properties at their best, and I believe made the difference in getting them sold.
I would have no hesitation in recommending B ruce A Bell Mulching and Landscaping to anyone looking to enhance the beauty of their land.
Bruce and his crew are top notch!"
Kirby D.

"Working with Bruce Bell was an amazing experience. He cleared and graded the site not only competently, but he mulched and spread the resulting material in a very careful and professional way. The end result was the transformation of a tree and brush choked site into a beautiful park-like setting. His pricing was quite fair, and the timeliness and professionalism of his efforts were outstanding."
