Battle Born Tree Service plows, shovels, hauls and salts from its Carson City yard about 44 minutes away without traffic; ask whether your address is on the route. Caughlin Ranch climbs the southwest edge of Reno toward the Sierra front. The airport gauge is the closest official snowfall record, and the hill adds a margin of its own. ## At a glance - ZIP 89519 sits at about 4,884 feet - About 474 feet above the Reno airport station - About 76% of homes owner-occupied - About 44 minutes from our yard without traffic ## How much higher is it? The Reno-Tahoe International Airport station, 5.2 miles away at 4,410 feet, has a 1991-2020 snowfall normal of about 20.9 inches. Caughlin Ranch sits near 4,884 feet, about 474 feet higher, which is within the range where we are comfortable using the airport number as a reference (NOAA). The Reno 2.4 SSW gauge, 1.8 miles away, records about 9.6 inches of precipitation a year. Neither is a Caughlin Ranch reading. The honest summary is that the hill gets at least what the airport gets, and its heavier storms are the ones that matter. ## Thirty-year-old landscaping ZIP 89519 has about 9,100 residents in about 3,900 households, with a median build year of 1993 and about 28% of homes built in 2000 or later (ACS 2020-2024, ZIP-wide). Trees planted when these homes went up are now tall and full. Ornamental and shade trees that have reached that size catch wet snow along their crowns and drop limbs onto drives and walks. If one hangs over your approach, mention it when you call. ## Owner-occupied streets About 76% of homes in the ZIP are owner-occupied and about 78% are detached houses. With mostly owner-occupied detached homes, the work here is mainly driveways and sidewalks, though the services cover parking lots too. We plow, shovel by hand where a machine would scar landscaping or pavers, haul snow away when a pile has nowhere to go, and salt once the surface is clear. ## The sidewalk rule inside Reno Where an address is inside the City of Reno, the city's Reno Direct FAQ puts sidewalk snow and ice on the property owner, and its snow and ice control page says shoveling sidewalks and driveways is not a city service. We did not find an hour deadline and do not state one. Confirm the rule for your own address with the city, and see the [sidewalk guide](https://battleborntreeservice.com/guides/sidewalk-snow-rules-carson-city-reno/). ## Distance and timing The yard is 33.5 miles from Caughlin Ranch, about 44 minutes without traffic. That is a free-flow estimate with no allowance for snow or chain controls, and it is not an arrival promise. Call [775.232.8243](tel:775.232.8243) early in the season, describe the property, and ask whether your address is on the route. Our snow team is available around the clock in season. ### Sources - [NOAA NCEI U.S. Climate Normals 1991-2020, Reno Tahoe International Airport (USW00023185) and Reno 2.4 SSW (US1NVWH0011)](https://www.ncei.noaa.gov/products/land-based-station/us-climate-normals) (retrieved October 1, 2026) - [U.S. Census Bureau, American Community Survey 2020-2024 five-year estimates, ZCTA 89519](https://data.census.gov/) (retrieved October 1, 2026) - [City of Reno Maintenance and Operations: Snow and Ice Control](https://www.reno.gov/government/departments/maintenance-operations/snow-ice-control.php) (read October 17, 2026) - [City of Reno: Reno Direct FAQs (sidewalk snow and ice)](https://www.reno.gov/community/reno-direct/reno-direct-faqs) (recorded October 1, 2026) - [OSRM routing on OpenStreetMap roads, free-flow drive time from 6301 US Highway 50 East, Carson City](https://project-osrm.org/) (retrieved October 1, 2026) - **Drive from our yard:** about 44 min 33.5 miles - **Elevation:** 4,884 ft USGS - **USDA hardiness zone:** 7b 2023 map - **Homes built before 1980:** 22% median year built 1993 Sources: drive time from our yard at 6301 US Highway 50 East, free-flow, OSRM / Census Geocoder; elevation, USGS 3DEP; hardiness zone, USDA 2023 map; housing figures, U.S. Census Bureau ACS 2020-2024 five-year estimates; wildfire risk, USDA Forest Service Wildfire Risk to Communities (April 2026 data).
