A person hurt means 911 first; a wire down means stay away and call NV Energy first. Spanish Springs is one of the newest communities we serve. Only about 4% of homes were built before 1980 and the median home dates from 2002. Almost every tree here was planted by a builder or a homeowner within the last 25 years. ## At a glance - Median home built 2002; about 95% of homes are single-family detached - About 92% owner-occupied: the caller is usually the decision-maker - Spanish Springs station: about 9.2 inches of precipitation a year - About 53 minutes from our Carson City yard without traffic ## What can a 20-year-old tree do? Enough. A tree of that age can stand well over 20 feet tall. When it uproots or snaps it can flatten a fence, block a two-car driveway, break a window or land on a vehicle. It is less likely to cave in a roof than an old cottonwood would be, but it still has to be cut up and moved by people who know how wood under tension behaves. About 95% of homes here are detached single-family houses, each with its own yard trees (American Community Survey 2020-2024). A strong wind hits every yard on the street at once. Phone early. ## How dry and how windy? The Spanish Springs weather station averages about 9.2 inches of precipitation a year and a mean temperature of 52.0 degrees. The nearest snowfall record, at the Sparks station about 6.6 miles away, is 6.8 inches a year (NOAA 1991-2020 normals). Snow load is a minor cause of damage here. Wind across an open valley is the main one. Dry air adds a second problem. A tree short of water dies back, and a weakened tree is the first to break. [Watering trees in the high desert](https://battleborntreeservice.com/guides/watering-mature-trees-high-desert/) explains the link. ## You probably own the tree About 92% of Spanish Springs homes are owner-occupied, among the higher rates in our service area. That keeps things simple: the person on the phone can approve the work. Spanish Springs is unincorporated, and we have no Washoe County permit rule on record for removing a tree on private property. If your street has an association, look at its landscape rules before replacing what was lost. ## Wind and fire exposure go together here The USDA Forest Service ranks Spanish Springs' wildfire risk to homes higher than 98.6% of US communities, with about 32% of buildings in the direct exposure zone. A storm-broken tree left lying in the yard dries into fuel. Having the debris hauled away is part of the emergency service, not an extra. ## How the visit works - The arborist looks at the fallen tree and at what it is resting on. - The crew cuts and removes it, starting with whatever blocks access. - Brush is chipped and wood is loaded. - The arborist checks the yard's other trees if you ask, and writes a free estimate for any pruning or removal they need. Our yard is about 42.8 miles away in Carson City. The 53-minute figure assumes an empty road and is not an arrival time. ### Sources - [U.S. Census Bureau, American Community Survey 2020-2024 five-year estimates, Spanish Springs CDP](https://data.census.gov/) (retrieved October 1, 2026) - [NOAA NCEI U.S. Climate Normals 1991-2020, Spanish Springs and Sparks stations](https://www.ncei.noaa.gov/products/land-based-station/us-climate-normals) (retrieved October 1, 2026) - [USDA Forest Service, Wildfire Risk to Communities](https://wildfirerisk.org/download/) (April 2026 data) - **Drive from our yard:** about 53 min 42.8 miles - **Elevation:** 4,522 ft USGS - **USDA hardiness zone:** 7b 2023 map - **Homes built before 1980:** 4% median year built 2002 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).

Call [775.232.8243](tel:775.232.8243). Phones are answered seven days a week. ### Is a blown-over tree in my Spanish Springs yard an emergency? If it is on a structure, a vehicle or a fence, is blocking your driveway, or is hung up and could fall farther, yes. If it is flat on the lawn, ask for a free estimate during office hours. ### Should I stake my other trees after a wind storm? Ask the arborist on site. Staking is not always the answer, and structure pruning often does more. ### Do I need a county permit to remove a fallen tree in Spanish Springs? We have no Washoe County permit rule on record for private-property trees. Check with the county or your association if you are unsure. ### How far do you come for a Spanish Springs emergency? About 42.8 miles from our Carson City yard, roughly 53 minutes without traffic.
