At a glance
- About 5,086 feet above sea level, hardiness zone 7a
- Median home built in 1991
- 9.34 inches of precipitation a year at the Minden station
- Conner Fire of 2025, center about 6 miles away
What does a Fish Springs pruning visit cover?
The median home dates from 1991 and about 28% of housing is from 2000 or later (U.S. Census Bureau, ACS 2020-2024, Fish Springs CDP), so the trees are a mix of established and young. The arborist lifts low limbs, removes dead wood, thins crowns that crowd the roof, and flags any tree that needs more than pruning.

What is the station for rain and snow?
The Minden station, 6.6 miles away and about 380 feet lower, records 9.34 inches of precipitation and 21.8 inches of snow a year (NOAA 1991-2020 normals). Fish Springs is higher, so the station is a reference and not the community's own figure. Trees on irrigation or well water are the norm.
Pruning and the Conner Fire
The Conner Fire of 2025, mapped at 17,714 acres, has its center about 6 miles from Fish Springs, and 19 perimeters of 300 acres or more since 1980 are mapped within about 10 miles. Pruning is one part of defensible space. See what is defensible space.

Rules here
This community is in Douglas County, outside the Tahoe Basin, so TRPA rules do not apply. We have not found a Douglas County permit for removing or pruning a tree on private property.
For a tree in a road right-of-way ask the county, and check any recorded covenants or association rules for your parcel. The agency decides.
