Fish Springs is outside the towns named on our site; call [775.232.8243](tel:775.232.8243) to confirm. The trimming list here is short and practical: lift the crowns, take off the dead wood, and cut back whatever hangs over the roof. ## 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. See [ladder fuels and limbing up](https://battleborntreeservice.com/guides/ladder-fuels-limbing-up/) and [dead wooding](https://battleborntreeservice.com/tree-services/dead-wooding/). ## 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](https://battleborntreeservice.com/guides/what-is-defensible-space/). ## When and how to book Dead and hazardous wood any time; late winter for deciduous trees and early spring and summer for conifers. Fish Springs is not among the towns named on our site, so call [775.232.8243](tel:775.232.8243), give the address and ask.

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. ### Start here - [About the service: Tree trimming and pruning](https://battleborntreeservice.com/tree-services/tree-trimming-pruning/) - [Tree service in Fish Springs](https://battleborntreeservice.com/service-areas/fish-springs/) ### Talk to the office [775.232.8243](tel:775.232.8243) | Monday to Friday | 8:30 am - 5:00 pm | |---|---| | Saturday and Sunday | Office closed, phones answered | Phones answered seven days a week. 24-hour emergency service.
