More than half of Gardnerville's homes have been built since 2000, so the work is likely to be pruning, clearance and stump grinding in newer neighborhoods, backed by an ISA Certified Arborist on staff. ## Gardnerville at a glance - **Drive from our yard:** about 30 min 21.0 miles - **Elevation:** 4,751 ft USGS - **USDA hardiness zone:** 7a 2023 map - **Homes built before 1980:** 18% median year built 2001 - **Wildfire risk to homes:** higher than 89.6% of US communities USDA Forest Service - **Owner-occupied homes:** 52% ACS 2020-2024 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). Retrieved October 1, 2026. Gardnerville adjoins Minden on US 395 at about 4,751 feet. Roughly 5,500 people live here. The town mixes a historic main street with some of the newest housing in Carson Valley. ## How new is Gardnerville's housing? Newer than any other Carson Valley community we serve. About 55% of homes were built in 2000 or later and the median year built is 2001 (U.S. Census Bureau, ACS 2020-2024). About 18% predate 1980. The mix of housing is unusual for the valley too: about half detached houses, about 17% manufactured homes, and the rest attached homes and apartments. About 51% of occupied homes are owner-occupied. Trees in a 2000s subdivision are 15 to 25 years old. They are at the stage where builder-planted trees outgrow the spot they were given: too close to the foundation, under the eave, or three to a strip that suits one. Thinning out the extras and [grinding the stumps](https://battleborntreeservice.com/service-areas/gardnerville/stump-grinding/) is common work. So is [structural pruning](https://battleborntreeservice.com/service-areas/gardnerville/tree-trimming/) to give the keepers one strong trunk. ## Who decides about a tree in a rental or a park community? With about half of Gardnerville homes rented and a large share in manufactured-home communities and attached housing, the person who notices a problem tree is often not the person who can approve the work. We write free, detailed estimates that a landlord, park owner or association can act on. See [HOAs and property managers](https://battleborntreeservice.com/who-we-serve/hoas-and-property-managers/) and our guide to [HOA tree rules](https://battleborntreeservice.com/guides/hoa-tree-rules/). ## What does the wildfire data show for Gardnerville? Gardnerville has the lowest exposure of any Douglas County community we serve. The USDA Forest Service places about 92% of its buildings in the minimal exposure zone and about 5% in the direct zone. Risk to homes still ranks higher than 89.6% of US communities, which says more about how low the national baseline is than about this town. Thirteen fire perimeters of 300 acres or more have a mapped center within about 10 miles since 1980. The largest named one is the Indian Fire of 1984 at 17,771 mapped acres. Those are distances to the center of each mapped perimeter, not to its edge. If your home is on the edge of town, see [how to read wildfire risk to homes](https://battleborntreeservice.com/guides/wildfire-risk-to-homes-northern-nevada/). ## What is the climate like for Gardnerville trees? The Minden station is 1.7 miles from the center of Gardnerville. It records 9.34 inches of precipitation and 21.8 inches of snow in a normal year and an average summer high of 88.0 degrees (NOAA 1991-2020 normals). The 2023 USDA map lists Gardnerville's ZIP 89410 as hardiness zone 7a, with an average extreme winter low of 0 to 5 degrees. Twenty-two inches of snow is more than Carson City's station sees. A spring or fall storm that lands while trees are in leaf is the one that breaks limbs. If a tree or large limb comes down: call 911 if anyone is hurt, keep away and call NV Energy if a wire is involved, then call our 24-hour line at [775.232.8243](tel:775.232.8243).
