About the Company
Naomi Redding founded Defensible Designs to help homeowners in Orinda, Moraga, and throughout Contra Costa County navigate fire hardening and defensible space requirements. With a background in project coordination and a personal commitment to environmental resilience, Naomi offers concierge-style support that includes property walk-throughs, planning assistance, and project management. Her approach is collaborative, turning complex MOFD compliance rules into clear, manageable steps. Services cover fence and gate installation and repair, fire protection services, landscape maintenance, greenscape construction, and comprehensive shrub and tree care—from planting and pruning to removal and stump grinding. Naomi also addresses common local fencing issues, such as rusting metal components and earthquake damage, by selecting durable materials and using flexible installation techniques suited to Orinda’s conditions. Based near the Orinda Theatre and a short drive from the Orinda Community Center, Defensible Designs provides free discovery calls to help residents get their properties fire-ready. Outside of work, Naomi raises three children in Orinda schools, enjoys cycling, and has competed in the Escape from Alcatraz triathlon—she highly recommends hiking Fern Canyon in Redwood National Forest.
Q&A
How do you handle fence damage from earthquakes and rusting metal components in Orinda?
We assess your property for potential vulnerabilities, like rusted posts or cracked concrete, and recommend corrosion-resistant materials such as galvanized steel or aluminum. For earthquake-prone areas, we use flexible fasteners and reinforced corner bracing to allow movement without collapse. Our installations follow local building codes and consider soil conditions common in Orinda’s hillsides.
What does a typical fire protection services consultation include?
We start with a walk-through of your property to identify fire hazards, evaluate defensible space zones, and review MOFD compliance requirements. Then we create a prioritized plan covering vegetation management, shrub pruning, tree trimming, and hardscape adjustments. We can also coordinate with licensed contractors for fence repairs or tree removal if needed.
Do you help with landscape maintenance and tree care for properties in Moraga and Orinda?
Yes, we offer landscape maintenance, shrub care (including disease and insect management), and full tree services such as pruning, removal, stump grinding, and transplanting. Our team works with local arborists and landscapers to keep your greenery healthy and compliant with defensible space guidelines. We serve Orinda, Moraga, and surrounding Contra Costa areas.
