Ruhenstroth is a small rural community off US 395 south of Gardnerville, at the foot of the Pine Nut Mountains. It has about 730 homes, nearly all of them single houses, and it is far enough out that a clear phone call saves real time. ## At a glance - About 730 housing units, about 96% of them detached houses - About 39 minutes from the yard without traffic - About 31% of buildings in the direct wildfire exposure zone, beside wildland vegetation - One number, 24 hours: [775.232.8243](tel:775.232.8243) ## What should you tell the office from a rural address? At the south end of the valley, the crew that leaves our yard needs to arrive with the right machines the first time. A few details decide that. | What we ask | Why it matters | |---|---| | What is the tree on? | A house or shop usually means the crane. A tree on open ground means the loader and chipper. | | How big is the trunk, roughly? | It sets the size of the lift and the number of trucks. | | Is the driveway or road blocked? | Clearing the way in may be the first job. | | Any wires, propane tanks or a well house nearby? | They decide where machines can stand and where wood can land. | | Are animals or fences involved? | A downed fence with stock behind it changes what is urgent. | If you can, send someone to the end of the driveway to wave the trucks in. House numbers are hard to read on a stormy night. ## Trees on the edge of the Pine Nuts The USDA Forest Service places about 31% of Ruhenstroth's buildings in the direct exposure zone, which means they stand in or next to wildland vegetation, and the rest in the indirect zone. Native trees and brush on the foothill side come up to the lots, and planted shade trees and windbreaks stand around the houses. About 96% of the housing is detached houses, and about 44% of it has been built since 2000 (U.S. Census Bureau, ACS 2020-2024; a small community, so the figures are approximate). Around the newer homes the planted trees are still young. The larger trees, and the larger emergencies, are on the older parcels and along the property lines. ## Weather at the south end of the valley The Minden station, about six miles north and about 230 feet lower, is the nearest long-term record: 21.8 inches of snowfall a year and an average winter low of 19.9 degrees (NOAA 1991-2020 normals). Cold, dry air and the occasional heavy, wet snow are a hard mix for irrigated trees. Dry years leave dead wood in the crowns, and the next storm brings it down. See [drought stress and dieback](https://battleborntreeservice.com/tree-guide/drought-stress-and-dieback/). ## What the emergency visit includes Removing the tree from the house or outbuilding, clearing the road or driveway, pruning or removing trees that could cause more damage, and collecting and disposing of the debris. A certified arborist assesses the work before it starts. The estimate is free and written for your job. Following severe storms our existing clients are served first. We are equipped to help anyone who needs it. ## Until the crew arrives Stay out from under the tree and out of the rooms beneath it. Do not cut it, pull it or climb it. Photograph it from a distance for your insurer.

Call [775.232.8243](tel:775.232.8243). Phones are answered seven days a week. ### Does Battle Born Tree Service come out to Ruhenstroth for emergencies? Yes. Ruhenstroth is inside our service area, about 39 minutes from the yard without traffic, and emergency service is offered 24 hours a day. ### A tree fell on my shop, not the house. Is it still an emergency? If the building is damaged, something is blocked or the tree is unstable, yes. Tell the office what is inside the shop and whether power runs to it. ### Do I need a permit in Ruhenstroth to remove a fallen tree? We have no record of a Douglas County permit for trees on private property here. Ask the county if the tree is in a road right-of-way. They decide. ### Can dead trees be removed before they fall? Yes, and it is the better order of events. Ask for a free estimate on [tree removal](https://battleborntreeservice.com/tree-services/tree-removal/).
