Poles are protected from fire damage by forming a vegetation-free buffer zone around them that needs little or no routine maintenance to retain its effectiveness. This is implemented by pole-protection systems and methods that include a peripheral apron positioned around the pole and sized to form the desired vegetation-free zone, and a cover that covers and protects the apron. In example embodiments, the apron is made of a woven geotextile fabric with an annular shape, with a central opening for receiving the pole, with a radial slit forming free ends for displacing to install the apron around the pole and for returning and fastening in place to form a continuously extending peripheral sheet. And the cover is made of crushed and washed rock forming a rock bed that covers the apron to protect and insulate it from UV radiation and fire damage.
