We take the work as planned, full-day visits, and it makes most sense for large trees, several trees, or jobs that need a crane or a 75-foot boom truck. Hawthorne is the Mineral County seat, near the south end of Walker Lake. It has the highest share of older homes of any town we serve: the median home was built in 1964, about 83% predate 1980 and almost none have gone up since 2000. Many yard trees on those lots have had the same decades to grow. ## At a glance - About 115 miles from our yard, about 2 hours 25 minutes without traffic - About 83% of Hawthorne homes were built before 1980 - Hawthorne station: about 4.2 inches of precipitation a year - We own the crane, boom truck, chipper and dump trucks we bring ## When is it worth calling a Carson City crew? When the job needs more than a chainsaw and a pickup. That means a tall tree over a house, a tree too decayed to climb, a tree tangled with a service line or a building, or a group of trees to be removed in one go. Those jobs call for a certified arborist's assessment, trained climbers and heavy equipment. For one small tree in an open yard, the travel is hard to justify, and we will tell you so. ## What should I have ready when I call? Have ready the number and rough height of the trees, what each stands near, whether each is alive or dead, how a large truck can get in, and whether you want stumps dealt with and wood hauled or left. - The number of trees and a rough height for each, compared with the house - What each tree stands near: roof, fence, alley, power drop, neighbor's building - Whether the trees are alive, partly dead or dead - Access: alley or street, gate width, room for a large truck - Whether you want stumps dealt with and wood hauled or left With that, the office can arrange the estimate so the arborist's long drive answers every question at once. Neighbors, churches, businesses and landlords with trees on the same street can ask for estimates on one day. ## Why are Hawthorne's trees all the same age? Because the houses are. The American Community Survey estimates about 38% of Hawthorne homes were built before 1960 and about 83% before 1980. Shade trees planted with them are now sixty to eighty years old, an age at which fast-growing species are well into decline. The climate is the hottest and driest in our data. The Hawthorne station averages about 4.2 inches of precipitation a year, an average summer high of about 92 degrees and a mean temperature of 56.5, the warmest of the stations in our data (NOAA 1991-2020 normals). An old tree whose irrigation has lapsed in that heat will shed dead limbs for years before it finally dies. See [drought stress and dieback](https://battleborntreeservice.com/tree-guide/drought-stress-and-dieback/). ## What about fire and firewood? Wildfire risk is modest by Northern Nevada standards: the Forest Service ranks Hawthorne at about the 52nd percentile of US communities, and only one fire of 300 acres or more, the 2025 Big Fire at 359 acres, has been mapped within about 10 miles since 1980. Condition and location are the usual reasons to remove a tree. About 12% of households heat mainly with wood. If you want the wood left, say so and it will be on the estimate. ## What we will not promise A time. We list no emergency service for Hawthorne. The phone, [775.232.8243](tel:775.232.8243), is answered around the clock and messages are returned within 8 hours, but a crew cannot be two and a half hours away and on your street quickly. If a tree is down on a line, stay away and call the electric utility, and call 911 if anyone is hurt.
