Fire season
The USDA Forest Service rates Carson City's wildfire risk to homes higher than 98.5% of US communities, and Reno's higher than 97.7% (Wildfire Risk to Communities, April 2026 data). We assess the fire risks around your house, remove the fuel and create a defensible zone, using hand crews, a brush mower and a masticator.

In October, finish watering while the ground is open, look over your trees for dead or hanging limbs, and clear leaves and needles away from the house. Save most live-wood pruning for the dormant seas
Wet snow adds weight to branches faster than they can bend and recover, so limbs split, tops snap and evergreens splay open. What helps is structure: remove dead wood, deal with weak forks and have an

Michael Orlick opened Battle Born Tree Service in October 2013 with a tool truck and a few chainsaws, and a promise to run a business that is quality-driven rather than profit-driven. Today it is an eight-man crew with two ISA Certified Arborists on staff and its own fleet: a crane, a 75-foot Altec boom truck, a Bobcat T870 track loader, a chip truck and a brush mower.

Straight answers

Yes. Our residential and commercial tree services always include a free estimate before any work is done. A certified arborist looks at the job in person, and the estimate is detailed and easy to understand.
Dead branches and safety hazards can be pruned at any time. Otherwise prune when the tree is dormant: late winter for most deciduous trees, such as maples, and early spring and summer for most conifers, such as pines.
Safety comes first: an old, overgrown tree can carry weak and dead branches that fail in storms. Overgrown roots can damage houses, pipes and septic tanks. And when a large tree has dead and sick branches, removal can save time and money in the end.
All estimates are tailored to each client and what they need. Tell the arborist if you want the stump ground, and it will be written into your estimate.
Yes. We offer 24-hour emergency service for trees on houses, blocked roads and driveways and storm damage. Call 775.232.8243. If anyone is hurt call 911, and if a power line is involved stay clear and call NV Energy.
