In addition to fuels management and fire supression, our handcrews also provide Curbside Chipping services. To request this service please call our Defensible Space/Chipping Request phone line at 775/831-0351, ext. 8118 or make a request online. Please leave your name, address and phone number and specify "chipping service". This service is available in Spring through Fall months.
Please note the following guidelines when requesting this service:
- Piles must be curbside and easily accessible.
- Limbs must be no larger than six inches in diameter.
- Pile must not contain stumps, roots, garbage, nails, lumber or pine cones.
- Pile must not exceed 10' x 10' x 10'.
Please note that the crew does not haul away chips, but broadcasts them back in to the property. Please specify where you would like the chips dispersed.
Chips can be spread around the property for landscaping or erosion control, but not within 5 feet of a structure. If you choose to spread the chips within 30 feet of a structure, ensure that mulch beds are separated by noncumbustible areas, such as dirt, rock or pathways. Also ensure that mulched areas do not contain highly flammable vegetation. For more advice, please request a Defensible Space Evaluation by calling our Defensible Space/Chipping Request phone line at 775/831-0351, ext. 8118 or
