Battle Born Tree Service has two ISA Certified Arborists on staff (credential WE-11728A), and Mound House is about 3 minutes from our yard on US Highway 50 East without traffic. Mound House is the nearest community to our yard, just east of Carson City in Lyon County. Lots here tend to be larger and more open than in town, so a consultation is often about a few important trees rather than a whole street. ## At a glance - About 3 minutes from our yard without traffic - Lyon County, ZIP 89706 east side - Elevation about 4,900 feet, hardiness zone 7b - Two ISA Certified Arborists, credential WE-11728A ## How close is our yard to Mound House? Our yard at 6301 US Highway 50 East is about 2 miles from Mound House, about 3 minutes without traffic. That is a drive time, not a promise of arrival, but it does mean an arborist can look at a tree here without a long trip. Mound House has no separate Census record in the data we use, so we do not quote housing statistics for it. What we can say is what the visit covers. ## What the arborist looks at on open lots On a larger lot a tree often stands alone, so wind reaches all sides of it. The arborist checks the way the crown is balanced, whether one side carries heavy limbs, how the trunk meets the ground, and whether soil has shifted at the base. Windbreak rows and old yard trees get the same treatment: dead wood, crossing branches, wounds, and any decay at the base. Findings come back as options, not a sales pitch. ## Climate at about 4,900 feet The nearest long-term station, Carson City 4.4 N, is 3.6 miles away at 4,861 feet and averages about 15.2 inches of precipitation a year (NOAA 1991-2020 normals). The area sits at about 4,920 feet in hardiness zone 7b. Winter cold and dry summers stress trees that were planted without regular watering. Dieback in the crown is one of the more common reasons people call an arborist out here. ## Fire history close by The 2006 Linehan Fire, mapped at 5,863 acres, had its center about 1.9 miles from Mound House, and the 1983 Moundhouse fire, mapped at 2,345 acres, is recorded in the NIFC data as well. Lyon County as a whole rates higher than 93% of US communities for wildfire risk to homes (USDA Forest Service). That is why dead trees and thick brush near buildings are worth a second look. The consultation can note them, using the UNR Extension zones as the reference: Zone 1 is 5 to 30 feet from the house. ## Next steps After the visit you receive a free estimate. For work in Lyon County, ask the arborist whether any local approval applies; we do not state a rule we have not confirmed. ### Sources - [NOAA NCEI U.S. Climate Normals 1991-2020, Carson City 4.4 N station](https://www.ncei.noaa.gov/products/land-based-station/us-climate-normals) (retrieved October 1, 2026) - [USDA Forest Service, Wildfire Risk to Communities](https://wildfirerisk.org/download/) (April 2026 data) - [National Interagency Fire Center, fire perimeter history (Linehan Fire 2006, Moundhouse fire 1983)](https://data-nifc.opendata.arcgis.com/) (retrieved October 1, 2026) - [University of Nevada, Reno Extension: Living With Fire (SP-23-07)](https://extension.unr.edu/publication.aspx?PubID=5522) (read October 1, 2026) - [OSRM public routing server (OpenStreetMap road network), free-flow driving estimate from 6301 US Highway 50 East](https://project-osrm.org/) (retrieved October 1, 2026) - **Drive from our yard:** about 3 min 2.1 miles - **Elevation:** 4,920 ft USGS - **USDA hardiness zone:** 7b 2023 map - **Wildfire risk to homes (Lyon County):** higher than 93% of US counties USDA Forest Service, county figure 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).
