Homes get driveway and sidewalk service too. Reno gets about 33 inches of snow a year at the north-side station, far more than people expect for a city at 4,500 feet. About half of Reno households rent, which makes property managers and building owners the people who need a plan in place before the first storm. ## At a glance - About 33.3 inches of snow a year at the Reno 1.4 NNE station - About half of Reno homes are owner-occupied - Commercial lots, medical, retail and industrial sites - About 43 minutes from our Carson City yard without traffic ## How much snow does Reno get? The Reno 1.4 NNE station, 1.9 miles from downtown and at 4,902 feet, has a 1991-2020 snowfall normal of about 33.3 inches (NOAA). The airport station south of downtown reads lower, about 20.9 inches, so the north side and the hills see more. ## Commercial and rental properties Reno has about 273,000 residents and 114,000 households, and only about 50% of homes are owner-occupied (ACS 2020-2024). A lot of the city is run by property managers and building owners who need a lot open on time. Our snow service covers corporate offices, shopping centers, medical facilities, retail stores and industrial properties, as well as residential driveways and sidewalks. ## What the equipment is for Plows move snow on open lots and long drives. Pushers and front-end loaders stack it into piles at the edge, and loaders can load trucks when it has to be hauled off. Skid steers work docks and walkways. Salting and ice removal come after the surface is clear. Where a machine would damage landscaping, we shovel by hand. ## Distance, honestly Our yard is in Carson City, about 33.5 miles and 43 minutes from central Reno without traffic, and snow and chain controls can make the drive slower. If you want Reno service, call early in the season, describe the property and let the office tell you what is practical. We do not promise an arrival time. ## What to tell the office before the season The more specific you are, the better the estimate. Give the address, the approximate size of the lot or drive, whether snow can be piled on site and where, which entrances matter most and who the contact person is. If you manage several properties, list them all so the office can see the whole picture. Estimates are free and tailored to each client. ## Winter beyond the lot Heavy snow also brings down limbs. Reno has many mature trees over parking areas and drives, and a branch that fails under snow load lands on the surface you just cleared. Our tree crews can remove or reduce those limbs, so a single call can cover both. A Reno property manager will often want a written scope showing which surfaces are included. We can put that in the estimate: areas, steps and the kind of treatment for ice. ### Sources - [NOAA NCEI U.S. Climate Normals 1991-2020, Reno 1.4 NNE (US1NVWH0002) and Reno Tahoe Intl Airport (USW00023185)](https://www.ncei.noaa.gov/products/land-based-station/us-climate-normals) (retrieved October 1, 2026) - [U.S. Census Bureau, American Community Survey 2020-2024 five-year estimates, Reno city](https://data.census.gov/) (retrieved October 1, 2026) - [OSRM routing on OpenStreetMap roads, free-flow drive time from 6301 US Highway 50 East, Carson City](https://project-osrm.org/) (retrieved October 1, 2026) - **Drive from our yard:** about 43 min 33.5 miles - **Elevation:** 4,505 ft USGS - **USDA hardiness zone:** 7b 2023 map - **Homes built before 1980:** 37% median year built 1990 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).
