Who owns property in Stateline?

Much of it is held by landlords, associations and businesses. Only about 8% of Stateline's occupied homes are owner-occupied and only about 18% are detached single-family houses, the lowest figures of any community we serve (U.S. Census Bureau, ACS 2020-2024; a small sample). Nearly everything else is apartments, condominiums and attached units.

On a managed property the questions are different. Which trees overhang the parking lot, the walkways and the entrance? Who is responsible if a limb falls? Can the work be scheduled around guests? We handle those jobs across the region: see commercial properties and HOAs and property managers. Estimates are free, detailed and easy to understand, so they can go to a board or an owner.

How old are the buildings, and the trees around them?

About half of Stateline's housing was built before 1980 and the median year is 1980. The conifers left around those buildings have had at least 45 years to grow.

In a built-up district, a tree boxed in by pavement and walls is hard to reach with ordinary equipment and cannot simply be felled. Our crane and 75-foot Altec boom truck let the crew work from the pavement and lift wood out over a building. See crane-assisted removal in Stateline and tree trimming in Stateline.

What does the wildfire data say about Stateline?

The USDA Forest Service rates risk to homes in Stateline higher than 95.8% of US communities. About 18% of buildings are in the direct exposure zone and 81% in the indirect zone. In a built-up district, that indirect figure is the one to read: the main threat is embers landing on and between buildings.
