Your landscape can still be beautiful. And it just may work a little harder to keep the home safe from wildfire. 🌿
Zone 0 (or the Ember Resistant Zone) is about taking a closer look at the first five feet around your home and making thoughtful choices about plants, materials, and other things that can help reduce the chance of embers igniting your home, writes LA-based Real Estate Agent Inna Ivchenko (link in comments).
This can be an important consideration when selling a home because wildfire preparedness is increasingly part of how buyers evaluate a property, Ivchenko points out. A well-maintained Zone 0 can help demonstrate that the home has been cared for with wildfire safety in mind, while also creating a more modern, intentional landscape.
