I could not be happier with the work they did for us. I found them to be very easy to communicate with and they were very professional. They showed up when they said they would did the work quickly to a high standard. I will happily recommend them to my friends and neighbors.

Cedar Enterprises is the best! What they were able to do in a couple of days was amazing. Our property is SO much better protected - it give us such peace of mind. Bryan and his team are extremely professional, hard-working and reliable, with fair prices. We definitely recommend them and will be using them again as we continue to mitigate our 35 acre lot.

Bryan and team did an incredible job with fire mitigation on 3 acres that had been long overgrown, and he worked with Wildfire Adapted to help us get a grant for part of the cost. We also had Bryan, Zach and Mark do a complete overhaul of our yard, and they did an incredible job on a flagstone patio, large boulders, plants, irrigation, a long walkway, reseeding, and a few drainages. Fair and honest pricing. We couldn't be happier.

In this day and age in Durango, it is a joy to find and work with Brian at Cedar Enterprises. He return calls, shows up when he says he will, has reasonable prices and (on top of all that) does a great job. What a concept. Brian is all about customer care and satisfaction and deserves more than 5 stars. I'll definitely be using Cedar Enterprises again for my future mitigation projects.

Bryan is the best mitigator I've ever used. I have a longstanding relationship with him, and I find that he's efficient, trustworthy, knowledgeable and does great work at a reasonable rate. This year, he accomplished much more than I'd anticipated, given the scope of work and acreage involved. I'd recommend Bryan and Cedar Enterprises to anyone looking for an honest, hardworking fire mitigation contractor who does quality work.

Bryan at Cedar Enterprises did a wonderful job at our house. (Our insurance company suspended coverage until fire mitigating was done on the property.) He picked up my phone call and promptly arrived to do the job. He was fast, efficient and affordable. Beautiful job! Insurance was reinstated after their review. I had called 3 other companies who did not bother to return my call, so don't bother with anyone else. Thanks, Jim

I am so appreciative and impressed with Bryan and his awesome team. I hired Bryan after meeting a few companies to perform fire mitigation work around our home. Bryan immediately impressed me with his positive and professional attitude. We met on a few occasions to discuss the scope of work as Bryan wanted to make sure to address all of our concerns, as well as meeting the requirements to allow us to get partial reimbursement from a government grant. Even though the grant only matched a very small portion of the work that was done, Bryan was very meticulous to ensure that he satisfied all the requirements of the grant. The scope of work entailed cutting down many tall, mature pines, some in close proximity to the house. We also asked Bryan and his team to cut down several large trees on a very steep slope leading down to a ravine on our property. This was very difficult work, and it was performed skillfully, quickly, and with a truly impressive attitude and work ethic. These guys never stop working and did an impressive amount of work in just one week on the job. We could not be happier with the outcome. We have created a fire-safe zone around the house, improved the health of the forest, and opened up some really nice view corridors. Overall, working with Bryan and his team was a great experience. I cannot emphasize enough how happy we are with the result, and I will certainly use Bryan again for any future work. Bryan and the rest of the crew, THANK YOU!!!!

July 22, 2024

These guys are legit! We only had them do landscaping/xeriscaping (no fire mitigation) and they were the only company we could find that did synthetic turf. They answered the phone, showed up and stayed until the job was AMAZINGLY done. We needed the job done ASAP and Bryan/Zach gave us guidance so we could start (note they were the only reliable company we could find). So we did some of the work ourselves with their guidance and then they came in when they could and did the rest. top notch with great recommendations and execution. Cant recommend them enough.

June 22, 2024

Bryan at Cedar Enterprises performed snow removal from the roof of our home. They arrived when promised and performed an excellent job of removal and clean up. The crew utilized harnesses and fall protection lines while on the roof and cleaned up the snow piles before departing. I would definitely contract with Cedar again.

I had some natural stone steps that had settled over the years and needed to be re-leveled. I contacted Bryan and he stopped out the very next day (April 25th) to look the job over. After meeting with Bryan I told him to proceed with the repairs and his crew was at my door on May 4th. They were able to re-level the steps and also do some landscaping maintenance for me the same day. The steps look great and I would highly recommend them. Kenton R

I had a 3+ acre lot completely overrun with gamble oak that was ugly and presented a risk for fires. Bryan was a pleasure to work with and he was willing to haul his equipment out to Pagosa Springs for a few days to take care of that problem. He was a good communicator, had fair pricing, and worked really hard to clear my land. The mastication equipment was very impressive and it worked like a charm. Would definitely call him back for further mitigation.

Bryan from Cedar Fire Mitigation partnered with Fire Smart Durango to conduct a fuels reduction effort on approximately 7 acres of steeply sloping greenbelt land adjacent to two Durango developments and a large section of BLM. My property line shares an immediate boundary with our house approximately 60 feet from the edge of the work. To my knowledge the property had not been mitigated since initial development. In two shorts days, Cedar Fire performed in an very professional manner in clearing brush so dense traditional sawyers would have spent weeks mitigating. I enjoyed discussing the project with Bryan prior to the actual work. He not only eliminated a severe fuels build up but left isolated copses of trees in an effort to maintain the idea of a managed forest versus a sterile clear cut. He was also conscious of parking and deploying his equipment with minimal impact to our private road as well as ingress/egress. I would definitely recommend Cedar Fire for any planned fuels mitigation projects - they were a friendly and efficient crew! Ive also included before and after photos!

Bryan and his crew did an awesome job clearing scrub oak and pruning up the larger oak bushes. Our property has gone from looking like an overgrown mess to looking like a park and the fire mitigation from the clearing is a plus, as well. I highly recommend Bryan for your landscaping and mitigation needs!

We retained Bryan last year to install a fire break through dense gambles oak and service berry, and to mitigate dense dead and dying oak brush at various locations on the property. Bryan accomplished more than I thought possible in the three days working here. Very well maintained equipment, essentially no downtime and great result. Looking forward to more follow up work this year - we are repeat customers.

★★★★★
January 22, 2023

We highly recommend Bryan and his crew for whatever landscaping project you may have in mind. Our project included excavation, rebuilding a rock wall, installation of landscape stone and gravel, and planting several large trees. Bryan answered our call promptly, provided an onsite inspection and quote, and performed the work on-time and on-budget, despite a couple of unforeseen complications. He and his crew always arrived on schedule, worked quickly and efficiently, and kept an immaculate work site. Communication was excellent, and he was very flexible in accommodating our modifications as the project progressed. Bryan goes out of his way to provide exceptional quality at a very reasonable price. We definitely plan to have him back next spring to complete the second phase of our project.

We have contracted Bryan with Cedar Enterprises on several occasions in the past year to mitigate fire risk on our Ranch in the Mancos area. Bryan is very customer focused and has well maintained top tier equipment that was always operated in a safe and responsible way.

When we purchased our property, we knew we would have to address fire mitigation immediately. I reached out to several companies but Bryan at Cedar Enterprises stood out from the crowd. Not only did he take the time to listen to our needs and discuss our options, but he also sent over references with pictures. Bryan and his team came out and did an absolutely amazing job. We initially thought it would take 3 days to get the property in shape but they did it in a day and a half. It did not look like the property we purchased a month ago, he transformed it. We are so pleased with the outcome. He was also kind enough to educate us on our eligibility for grants for future fire mitigation. We highly recommend Cedar Enterprises for all your mitigation and landscaping needs. Thank you Bryan and team for all you did for us.

This is a very positive review for Brian Wendt of Cedar Enterprises, out of Durango, but he ranged over here to Montezuma County to do mastication work on our property. Brian gets after it. Excellent work ethic and communication. While here, Brian also did mastication work for a neighbor who said, He did a great job. He only charged for the time his masticator machine was actually working no travel or set-up time. And he threw in few extras at no charge, but this earned him a modest tip in gratitude. My impression: He s a really good guy.
