Working in Yerington
What's different here
Mason Valley properties tend to be larger and more rural than anything on our home turf — acreage rather than back yards, with long driveways, outbuildings and a lot of ground that nobody wants to irrigate.
That pushes the work toward grading, drainage, rock and drought-tolerant planting, with irrigated turf kept to the areas that genuinely get used. Trying to keep a big Yerington lawn green through July is an expensive way to be disappointed.
See our work-
Hotter and drier
Several hundred feet lower than the Carson Valley and noticeably harsher in summer. Plant choices that just cope in Gardnerville can fail here.
-
Larger parcels
Acreage changes the maths. Sizing an irrigated lawn to what's actually used, and treating the rest as low-water landscape, is usually the difference between a manageable water bill and an unmanageable one.
-
Agricultural context
Wind, dust and open exposure. Windbreak planting and rock rather than bark mulch tend to be the right calls — bark blows away.

Yerington questions
Do you cover Yerington and Mason Valley?
Yes, it's within our roughly 40-mile radius. Like Reno, it suits project work better than short call-outs.
Can you help reduce a large property's water use?
That's most of what we do out here — reducing irrigated area, converting to drip, and planting things suited to the conditions rather than fighting them.
Do you work on rural and ranch properties?
Yes. We own our own excavators and skid steers, so long driveways, grading and larger rock work are normal jobs for us rather than special cases.
