Tree Service in Golden Valley, NV

Golden Valley is small and spread out. The 2020 Census counted 1,580 people on 3.61 square miles, about 437 per square mile, which is a fraction of the density of the neighborhoods closer to Reno. More room per house tends to mean more trees per lot, from rows planted along property lines to single big shade trees that have had decades to grow. Tree Service in Golden Valley usually involves several trees at once, and we plan the visit that way.

The highest of the three north valleys

Golden Valley sits at about 5,135 feet, a little higher than Lemmon Valley (about 4,990 feet) and Sun Valley (about 4,725 feet). Elevation brings colder nights, a shorter growing season, and wind that crosses open ground. Trees here grow more slowly than they would in town, and branches that grow fast after a wet year are often weakly attached. Wind and snow find those limbs first.

Rows of trees along the property line

On larger lots, owners often planted a row of evergreens or poplars along a fence for privacy and wind protection. Those rows age together. When one tree in a row dies, the neighbors on each side are suddenly exposed to wind they never had to handle, and they sometimes fail next. Before removing one tree from a row, we look at the ones beside it and tell you what to expect.

Brush, junipers and fire

The hills around the North Valleys are sagebrush, rabbitbrush and scattered juniper, the same materials Truckee Meadows Fire collects at its free green waste days for Washoe County residents. Reno Fire's defensible space guidance asks for tree limbs to be raised at least 6 feet in the zone 5 to 30 feet from a house, and for branches to stay 10 feet from a chimney or roof. Those are sound targets in Golden Valley too, and we can do that limbing and thinning in the same trip as other tree work.

Part of a larger area until 2010

Before the 2010 Census, Golden Valley was counted together with Lemmon Valley in a single census-designated place. It lies about seven miles north of downtown Reno, with Lemmon Valley directly to the north, and shares the 89506 ZIP code with its neighbor. We work across both valleys.

What Golden Valley owners ask for

• Pruning and removal in rows of privacy or windbreak trees
• Taking down dead evergreens before they fall
• Limbing up trees and thinning brush around the house
• Stump grinding after removals
• Hauling away limbs and brush from multi-tree jobs
