Battle Born Tree Service is about 4.4 miles and about 9 minutes away without traffic, with a tracked Bobcat for the open ground and a hand crew for the corners a machine cannot reach. ZIP 89706 covers the north and northeast side of Carson City. Its housing is mixed: the American Community Survey counts about 49% of homes as detached single-family houses and about 23% as manufactured homes, alongside shops, yards and open desert out toward the hills. ## At a glance - ZIP 89706: about 9,200 housing units, about 23% manufactured homes - Linehan Fire (2006, 5,863 acres) mapped about 3.2 miles from the ZIP's centre - Tracked loader for open ground, hand crew for tight corners - About 9 minutes from our Carson City yard ## What is different about clearing in 89706? The parcels are smaller and closer to things. A strip of tumbleweed and dry grass behind a row of homes, a triangle of sagebrush beside a shop, the outside of a chain-link fence: these are narrow jobs with a building, a vehicle or a neighbor a few feet away. On ground like that the brush mower does the open middle and people do the edges. The crew trims by hand along walls, skirting, posts and meters, so the machine never has to work against a structure. ## Manufactured homes and the first five feet With nearly a quarter of the ZIP's homes being manufactured housing, a lot of the mowing here ends at the base of a home. The University of Nevada, Reno Extension's Living With Fire guide calls the first 5 feet around any home the ember-resistant zone and lists weeds, dead leaves and wood mulch among the things to remove from it. We clear the vegetation. What sits against or under the home, such as stored items, is the owner's to move, and it helps to have that done before the crew arrives. ## Yards, shops and fence lines | The spot | What usually builds up | How we handle it | |---|---|---| | Outside of a perimeter fence | Tumbleweed, dry grass | Mowed where the machine fits, hand cut where it does not | | Unused back portion of a yard | Sagebrush, rabbitbrush, weeds | Brush mowed to stubble | | Corner with volunteer trees | Saplings and sprouts in a thicket | Masticated or cut and chipped | | Future building pad | Brush, a few trees, stumps | Cleared, stumps ground or dug, debris hauled | A business that has to stay open while the work goes on can read how we schedule around it on our [commercial properties](https://battleborntreeservice.com/who-we-serve/commercial-properties/) page. ## How close has fire come? The National Interagency Fire Center maps the Linehan Fire of 2006 at 5,863 acres, centred about 3.2 miles from the middle of the ZIP, and the Moundhouse Fire of 1983 at 2,345 acres, about 3.1 miles away. ZIP areas have no Forest Service rating of their own. For Carson City as a whole, the Forest Service ranks risk to homes higher than 98.5% of US communities. A rain gauge on this side of town (Carson City 4.4 N, a volunteer-network station) averages about 15.2 inches of precipitation a year in the NOAA normals, which is enough to bring up a fresh crop of grass and weeds every spring. ## Clearing a home site or a shop pad When the goal is to build, the job grows from mowing to [lot clearing](https://battleborntreeservice.com/tree-services/lot-clearing/): trees removed, stumps ground or pulled with the backhoe, and the debris loaded into our own dump trucks. Tell the arborist where the pad, the driveway and the utility runs will go, and which trees you would like to keep if they can be kept. ### Sources - [U.S. Census Bureau, American Community Survey 2020-2024 five-year estimates, ZIP Code Tabulation Area 89706](https://data.census.gov/) (retrieved October 1, 2026) - [University of Nevada, Reno Extension: Living With Fire, Nevada Defensible Space Guide (SP-23-07)](https://extension.unr.edu/publication.aspx?PubID=5522) (read October 1, 2026) - [National Interagency Fire Center, fire perimeter history](https://data-nifc.opendata.arcgis.com/) (retrieved October 1, 2026) - [USDA Forest Service, Wildfire Risk to Communities (tabular download)](https://wildfirerisk.org/download/) (April 2026 data, read October 1, 2026) - [NOAA NCEI U.S. Climate Normals 1991-2020, Carson City 4.4 N gauge](https://www.ncei.noaa.gov/products/land-based-station/us-climate-normals) (retrieved October 1, 2026) - **Drive from our yard:** about 9 min 4.4 miles - **Elevation:** 4,772 ft USGS - **USDA hardiness zone:** 7b 2023 map - **Homes built before 1980:** 48% median year built 1981 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).

We do not work on someone else's land without their request. ### We run a business on the lot. Can you work around it? Yes. Tell the office your hours and what has to stay reachable, and the work is planned around that. ### Is North Carson City close to your yard?
