Landscaping in Virginia Foothills, Nevada
ShieldMePM provides lawn care and property maintenance to homeowners throughout Virginia Foothills, Reno's semi-rural hillside community tucked along the southern edge of the city in ZIP 89521. Sitting roughly 14 miles south of downtown and just northwest of the Virginia Range, the neighborhood spreads across rolling terrain off Virginia Foothills Drive, High Chaparral Drive, Stone Hollow Drive, and surrounding streets — a mix of ranch-style homes from the 1980s and newer Toll Brothers construction from the 2000s and 2010s, most on half-acre or larger lots with open sagebrush and chaparral as a backdrop.
The setting is one of the most scenic in South Reno, but it comes with real maintenance demands. Lots are large, slopes are common, and the jump in elevation above the valley floor means gustier winds, harder frosts, and more snow than neighborhoods closer to downtown. We handle mowing, edging, seasonal cleanups, tree and shrub trimming, weed and pest control, irrigation service and winterization, pet waste removal, and snow removal — so you can enjoy those mountain views without spending your weekends maintaining the property that surrounds them.
Local know-how
HOA presence in Virginia Foothills varies by sub-community. Older ranch-style sections tend to have no HOA, giving homeowners full control over their lots. Sections closer to Damonte Ranch — including Toll Brothers-built subdivisions — typically carry HOA or Landscape Maintenance Association rules that can specify turf heights, shrub maintenance standards, and approved plant lists, so we work within those guidelines from the start. Lots here commonly run half an acre to over an acre, with sloped terrain that concentrates runoff and creates both dry uphill patches and soggy low spots when irrigation isn't calibrated correctly. Elevation ranges from roughly 4,500 to 5,000 feet depending on where a parcel sits on the hillside, meaning this area receives meaningfully more snow than the Truckee Meadows valley floor — snowfall events that barely register downtown can leave several inches on Virginia Foothills driveways and turf. Soil is typical high-desert clay-caliche, slow to absorb water; the TMWA cycle-and-soak method (short runs with a wait between) is essential here, especially on slopes where runoff is already a challenge. All irrigation work follows TMWA's assigned-day watering rules (even/odd addresses, before 11 a.m. or after 7 p.m.).
Frequently asked
- Mowing and edging visits run $45–$130 depending on lot size — most half-acre Virginia Foothills lots fall in the $75–$110 range. Monthly maintenance memberships start at $105/mo and bundle recurring services at a flat rate with no surprise charges. We can give you an exact quote after a quick look at your property.
- Yes. Virginia Foothills sits several hundred feet above the valley floor, so it often gets more accumulation than neighborhoods closer to downtown. We offer per-push snow removal at $50–$90 per visit and can add it to an existing maintenance plan. We send an on-our-way text before we arrive and a done photo when we leave.
- That's exactly the kind of work we do. Sloped lots in Virginia Foothills are prone to dry spots uphill and runoff at the base when heads or run times are off. We diagnose, adjust, and repair systems using the TMWA-recommended cycle-and-soak method, and we do full spring start-ups and fall winterizations every season.
