Call 911 for injuries, and for a tree on a power line call NV Energy and keep everyone away from it. The Ranchos are the largest community in the Carson Valley, about 12,000 people on a grid of residential streets south of Gardnerville. Most of the houses went up in the 1980s, and the trees planted beside them are now reaching the size where a failure hits something. ## At a glance - Median home built in 1987: yard trees here are about four decades old - About 86% of homes are detached houses on their own lots - About 36 minutes from our yard without traffic - ISA Certified Arborist WE-11728A on staff ## Why are the Ranchos seeing more tree failures now? The median home in Gardnerville Ranchos was built in 1987, and about 28% went up before 1980 (U.S. Census Bureau, ACS 2020-2024). A shade tree planted in a new front yard that year is close to forty years old today. That is old enough to overhang the roof and the driveway, and for fast-growing kinds it is old enough to carry dead wood and weak forks. About 86% of homes here are detached houses, each on its own lot with its own trees along the fence lines. A limb that drops in the Ranchos tends to land on your roof, your neighbor's fence or the car in the driveway. [Warning signs before a tree fails](https://battleborntreeservice.com/guides/warning-signs-tree-failure/) shows what to look for in a tree of this age. ## What does the snow record say? The nearest long-term station is Minden, five miles north, at nearly the same elevation. It averages 21.8 inches of snowfall and 9.34 inches of precipitation a year (NOAA 1991-2020 normals). The valley is dry most of the time, and the yard trees live on irrigation. Then a wet storm loads them all at once. ## A fence-line tree came down between two yards. Now what? On a subdivision lot the tree often sits on the line between two owners. Sort it out in this order. - Make sure nobody on either side is hurt. Call 911 if they are. - Look, from a distance, for wires. If any are involved, call NV Energy and keep both households away. - Talk to the neighbor before anyone cuts anything. Each of you should photograph your own side. - Each owner calls their own insurer. Who pays is their decision; see [a neighbor's tree fell on your property: who pays?](https://battleborntreeservice.com/guides/neighbors-tree-fell-who-pays/) for general information. - Call [775.232.8243](tel:775.232.8243). We can give each owner a free estimate for the part on their property. ## What customers say about storm work One Google review, which does not say where the job was, reads: "Came out to trim trees after big snowstorm, did excellent job. Appreciated their prompt service. Very knowledgeable." (Will B., Google review.) Our storm clean-up includes tree and limb removal, safety assessment and inspection, and collection and disposal of the debris. ## Hanging limbs are part of the emergency After a windstorm, look up before you walk the yard. A broken limb caught in the crown can stay there for days and fall on a calm afternoon. Keep children and pets out from under it and call.

Call [775.232.8243](tel:775.232.8243). Phones are answered seven days a week. ### Is there an emergency tree service that comes to Gardnerville Ranchos? Yes. Battle Born Tree Service offers emergency service 24 hours a day at [775.232.8243](tel:775.232.8243). The Ranchos are about 36 minutes from our yard without traffic; that is a drive time, not a promise. ### My Ranchos association has rules about trees. Do they apply after a storm? Ask the association. We have no record of a county permit for private trees on the valley floor, but association rules are their own. [HOA tree rules](https://battleborntreeservice.com/guides/hoa-tree-rules/) covers what to check. ### Will you remove the stump too? Stump grinding is quoted to suit the job. All estimates are tailored to each client and their needs, so ask for it to be included. ### Can the rest of a storm-damaged tree be kept? Sometimes. An arborist needs to inspect it in person. Stay clear of it until then.
