Landscaping in Mogul, Nevada
ShieldMePM provides lawn care and property maintenance for homes and properties throughout Mogul, the semi-rural census-designated community six miles west of Reno along the I-80 corridor at the base of Peavine Peak. Mogul sits at roughly 4,500 to 4,700 feet — noticeably higher than central Reno — with much of the community straddling the Truckee River corridor and the lower flanks of Peavine Mountain. Streets like Mogul Drive, Fourth Street, and the quiet lanes of Mogul Highlands and Belli Ranch Estates run through a mix of ranch-style homes, two-story hillside properties, and horse-zoned lots that can stretch from half an acre to over two acres.
The lots here are larger than anything you'll find inside the Reno city limits, and many properties lack the formal HOA that governs newer subdivisions — which means more individual character but also more maintenance responsibility on the homeowner. ShieldMePM handles that workload directly: mowing and edging on schedule, irrigation start-ups and winterization before the first freeze, shrub trimming, weed and pest control, pet waste pickup, and snow removal when the Sierra storms roll east on I-80.
Local know-how
Most of Mogul falls outside any formal HOA, so there are no association-enforced mowing schedules or weed-violation notices — but properties still need consistent care to stay presentable and code-compliant with Washoe County. Lots commonly run half an acre to two-plus acres, with a mix of irrigated turf, native shrub borders, and equestrian areas. Elevations here are 200 to 300 feet higher than downtown Reno, which means spring green-up comes a week or two later and the first hard freeze arrives earlier in fall — the irrigation winterization window is tight. Wind is a real factor in the I-80 canyon: gusts of 40 to 55 mph are common in winter and can carry blowing snow onto driveways and walks faster than anything downvalley. Soil in Mogul tends toward clay and caliche in the lower benches, which drains poorly and compacts under mower traffic; properties on the upper hillside lots often have rockier, faster-draining ground. TMWA even-odd watering days apply to properties on municipal water, though many Mogul parcels draw from private wells and are subject to different scheduling.
Frequently asked
- Yes. We regularly maintain half-acre to two-acre properties in Mogul, including lots with equestrian areas. Mowing, edging, weed control, and seasonal cleanups are priced by lot size. Mowing visits start at $45 for smaller turf areas and go up to $130 for larger properties. Give us the approximate turf square footage when you call and we will quote you a flat rate.
- Mogul's elevation means the season typically runs from mid-April through mid-October — roughly 26 to 28 weeks depending on the year. We schedule your first mow once turf is actively growing and your last before the first hard freeze. Irrigation winterization is usually needed by late October here, a bit earlier than properties closer to downtown Reno.
- Yes. We offer residential snow removal with per-push pricing of $50 to $90 depending on driveway size and accumulation. Mogul properties at higher elevations and on north-facing lots can see significantly more accumulation than the Reno valley floor, and our crews are scheduled to respond to storm events so your driveway and walkways are clear before the workday starts.
