Battle Born Tree Service has two ISA Certified Arborists on staff, including WE-11728A, and gives free estimates, about 78 minutes without traffic from Carson City. Yerington is the Lyon County seat, home to about 3,150 people at roughly 4,388 feet. The median home dates from 1976, and the Forest Service ranks its wildfire risk well below most of our other towns. ## At a glance - About 60% of Yerington homes built before 1980 - Median home built in 1976 - USFS wildfire risk to homes higher than 62.2% of US communities - About 78 minutes from our Carson City yard ## Shade trees that outlived the plan About 60% of Yerington homes were built before 1980 and the median year is 1976 (U.S. Census Bureau, ACS 2020-2024; approximate). Trees planted with those homes are 50 years old now. Old shade trees can hide trouble: cavities, fungus at the base, a lean that has crept in over years. The consultation is a look from the crown to the root flare, not a quick glance. ## A weather station in town The Yerington station is a mile from town at 4,380 feet. It records about 4.58 inches of precipitation, 3.2 inches of snowfall and an average temperature of 53.5 degrees F a year (NOAA 1991-2020 normals). Rainfall alone cannot support a large shade tree, so how well it is watered is part of the diagnosis. ## Lower fire rank, still worth a look The Forest Service rates Yerington's wildfire risk to homes higher than 62.2% of US communities, with 9.2% of buildings in the direct exposure zone, and no fires of 300 acres or more since 1980 have centers within about 10 miles. That is lower than most of our towns. Dead wood and branches over roofs still matter for safety. ## How far is Yerington from our yard? Yerington is about 59 miles from our yard. We plan visits by phone: call [775.232.8243](tel:775.232.8243), tell the office which trees concern you and agree a time. After the walk you get a plain recommendation and, where work is needed, a personalized proposal with a free estimate. ## Reading an old tree For a tree 50 years old or more, the arborist looks for dieback in the top, cracks at forks, cavities and fungus at the base, and roots cut by trenches or pavement over the years. Some old trees can be supported with cabling and bracing or lightened with careful pruning. Others are better removed. The visit tells you which. ### Sources - [U.S. Census Bureau, American Community Survey 2020-2024 five-year estimates, Yerington](https://data.census.gov/) (retrieved October 1, 2026) - [USDA Forest Service, Wildfire Risk to Communities](https://wildfirerisk.org/download/) (April 2026 data) - [NOAA NCEI U.S. Climate Normals 1991-2020](https://www.ncei.noaa.gov/products/land-based-station/us-climate-normals) (retrieved October 1, 2026) - [OSRM public routing server (OpenStreetMap), free-flow driving estimate from 6301 US Highway 50 East, Carson City](https://project-osrm.org/) (retrieved October 1, 2026) - **Drive from our yard:** about 78 min 59.2 miles - **Elevation:** 4,388 ft USGS - **USDA hardiness zone:** 7a 2023 map - **Homes built before 1980:** 60% median year built 1976 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).
