Battle Born Tree Service has two ISA Certified Arborists on staff and gives free estimates, about 41 minutes without traffic from Carson City. Silver Springs is a Lyon County community of about 5,100 people at roughly 4,196 feet, hardiness zone 7a. About 67% of its buildings are in the direct wildfire exposure zone. ## At a glance - 67.3% of buildings in the direct wildfire exposure zone - About 15% of households heat with wood - About 56% of homes are mobile or manufactured - About 41 minutes from our Carson City yard ## The exposure figure behind most Silver Springs calls The USDA Forest Service puts 67.3% of Silver Springs buildings in the direct wildfire exposure zone and rates wildfire risk to homes higher than 87.2% of US communities. Six fires of 300 acres or more since 1980 have centers within about 10 miles, including the 1985 Gooseberry Fire (29,296 acres) and the 2006 Virginia Fire (4,602 acres). For the tree side, the arborist looks at what stands within 30 feet of the house and what is dead, dry or overhanging a roof. ## Homes, wood stoves and heating fuel About 56% of Silver Springs homes are mobile or manufactured, and about 15% of households heat with wood; the median home dates from 1993 (U.S. Census Bureau, ACS 2020-2024; approximate). Stovepipes and flues should not run through branches, and the consultation checks for that. ## Very dry country The nearest rainfall normal we can name is the Silver Springs 6.6 SSW station, which is 8.7 miles away and records about 6.2 inches of precipitation a year (NOAA 1991-2020 normals). That is a distant reference, not a Silver Springs measurement. It does show how dry the region is, and trees that were planted without a reliable water source struggle. ## What the visit gives you A certified arborist walks the lot, looks at each tree of concern and gives a plain answer. Where work is worthwhile, the proposal says what, why and in what order. ISA Certified Arborist WE-11728A is on staff, and the credential belongs to a person, not the company.

About 31 miles, or about 41 minutes without traffic, from 6301 US Highway 50 East in Carson City. ### Do you clear brush as well as trees? Yes. Lot clearing, brush mowing and masticating are separate services, and the arborist can tell you which fits. ### Is a consultation the same as a fire evaluation? No. A fire agency does official defensible space evaluations. The arborist covers the trees and what to do about them.
