Who decides when the tree is in a manufactured-home community?

Sort that out before you ask for an estimate. In many communities the resident owns the home and the park owns the land and the trees on it. If you rent the space, talk to the park manager first. If you manage the park, we can look at every tree of concern in one visit and write one estimate.

Space is the other issue. Homes stand close together with carports and sheds between them, so sections are lowered on ropes or lifted out. Nothing is allowed to free fall.

How old are the trees in 89706?

The American Community Survey puts the median home here at 1981, with about 48% built before 1980 and about 18% since 2000 (the figures cover the whole ZIP, not one neighborhood). In practice that means a lot of trees planted in the 1960s and 1970s that are now full size, next to newer streets where the trees are still small enough to remove from the ground.

Trees on commercial frontage

Along the highway and the business streets, removal is usually about a dead tree in a parking strip, a trunk lifting pavement, or a tree blocking a sign or a building. We work for businesses and property managers as well as homeowners, and the same arborist assessment comes first. For larger sites, lot clearing and brush mowing may be the better fit.

What does fire history say about this side of town?

The 2006 Linehan Fire, mapped at 5,863 acres, and the 1983 Moundhouse Fire, mapped at 2,345 acres, are both in the federal record within about 10 miles of this ZIP. There is no wildfire rating for a ZIP code. For Carson City as a whole, the USDA Forest Service ranks risk to homes higher than 98.5% of US communities. Dead trees near a structure are worth having looked at for that reason alone.

Wood, chips and the stump

Brush is chipped on site and logs go out on our trucks. The stump stays unless you ask for stump grinding, which can be written into the same free estimate. Payment is by cash or major credit card.
