East Valley is outside the towns named on our site, but you can call [775.232.8243](tel:775.232.8243) to confirm we can come. East Valley's homes are mostly owner-occupied houses from the late 1990s. A tree there is usually one owner's decision, and the fire exposure makes dead trees near the house a priority. ## At a glance - About 64% of 1,252 buildings in the direct wildfire exposure zone - Nearly all homes owner-occupied - 21.8 inches of snow a year at the Minden station, 4.5 miles away - About 36 minutes from our yard without traffic ## Which trees should come down first? Dead trees and dead parts of trees, especially close to a house or driveway, because in a community with about 64% of buildings in the direct exposure zone a dead tree is both a falling hazard and fuel (USDA Forest Service, Wildfire Risk to Communities). Read [how to tell if a tree is dead or dying](https://battleborntreeservice.com/guides/is-my-tree-dead-or-dying/). The arborist can also tell you when a tree is better pruned than removed, and when it should be watched. ## How does snow factor in? The Minden station records 21.8 inches of snow a year (NOAA 1991-2020 normals), a valley-floor figure about 210 feet lower than East Valley. A wet October or April snow on trees in leaf or on conifers brings down limbs. After a storm, [heavy snow and broken limbs](https://battleborntreeservice.com/guides/heavy-snow-broken-limbs/) explains what to look for before calling. ## Do I need a permit? We have not found a Douglas County permit for a tree on private property outside the Tahoe Basin. For a tree in a road right-of-way, ask the county, and check any recorded covenants. The county or the agency decides. ## Do you come to East Valley? East Valley is not among the towns named on our website, so we do not claim a regular presence.
