In California's Wildland-Urban Interface (WUI) zones, traditional vegetation near structures creates significant fire risk. Our artificial hedges provide the privacy and beauty of living hedges without the fire hazard, meeting the strictest defensible space requirements.
Tested for flame propagation and heat release. Materials self-extinguish when flame source is removed.
Meets state fire marshal requirements for decorative materials in fire-prone areas.
Safe for installation in defensible space zones where live hedges may be restricted.
Method 2 Fire Test Certified
Everything you need to know about fire-resistant artificial hedges
NFPA 701 Method 2 is a standardized fire test developed by the National Fire Protection Association. It measures how materials respond to flame exposure, testing for flame propagation, afterflame time, and dripping behavior. Materials that pass won't spread fire and will self-extinguish when the flame source is removed. This is the gold standard for fire-resistant decorative materials.
Yes, NFPA 701 certified artificial hedges are typically approved for WUI (Wildland-Urban Interface) zones where live hedges may be restricted. Unlike dry vegetation that can ignite and spread fire, certified artificial hedges won't propagate flames. Always check with your local fire authority for specific requirements in your area.
Our UV-stabilized artificial hedges are designed to last 10+ years in Southern California's intense sun without significant fading or degradation. The polyethylene construction resists moisture, temperature extremes, and UV radiation. Manufacturer warranties typically cover 5-7 years against material defects.
Installed artificial hedge panels typically range from $35-$65 per square foot, depending on the style, density, and mounting system. While the upfront cost is higher than planting live hedges, you'll save thousands on water bills, maintenance, and replacement over the hedge's lifetime. We provide free detailed estimates.
Yes, artificial hedge panels can be mounted on existing chain-link, wood, or metal fences, as well as walls and standalone frames. We assess your existing structure to determine the best mounting approach and ensure secure, wind-resistant installation.
