Emergency tree service in Silver Springs, NV

Silver Springs spreads across the flat where US 50 meets US 95A, near Lahontan Reservoir. The community is spread out, more than half are manufactured homes, and a fallen tree here is more often a problem of what it landed on than of where to put the equipment.

At a glance

• About 31 miles and 41 minutes from the yard, without traffic
• About 56% of Silver Springs homes are manufactured homes
• About 67% of buildings stand in or beside wildland vegetation (USDA Forest Service)
• About 15% of households heat mainly with wood

Is it an emergency, or can it wait for a scheduled visit?

At 31 miles out, it is worth sorting the call before a crew rolls at night.

Trees and homes in open desert

The USDA Forest Service places about 67% of Silver Springs buildings in the direct exposure zone, in or right next to wildland vegetation, which here means desert brush with planted trees around each home. Valley floors in this part of Nevada get roughly 4 to 10 inches of precipitation a year, so a tall tree in Silver Springs is one somebody has watered.

About 56% of the community's homes are manufactured homes (U.S. Census Bureau, ACS 2020-2024). When one is under a tree, the lift has to take the weight straight off the roof. That is the job our crane and 75-foot boom truck are for. Say what the tree is on when you call, and stay out of the home until it is clear.

If you heat with wood

About 15% of Silver Springs households heat mainly with wood, one of the higher shares in our service area. A limb that has landed on or beside the stovepipe is a reason to leave the stove cold and ask the fire department before lighting it again.

If you want the wood from your own tree left for burning, tell the estimator. The estimate will say what is hauled and what stays. Our page on what happens to the wood and chips explains the options.

What Battle Born brings to Silver Springs

Our fleet is our own, so the crane, boom truck, chipper, chip truck and track loader all come from the same yard. Two ISA Certified Arborists are on staff, and a certified arborist assesses the job before work begins. Emergency work includes tree and limb removal, cabling and stabilization, a safety assessment, road and driveway clearing, and debris collection and disposal.

The drive, plainly

It is US 50 nearly the whole way: about 41 minutes when the road is clear. We give that as a distance so you can plan, not as a promise. The phone line is staffed seven days a week, after-hours calls forward to the owner, and a message is returned within 8 hours.
