Question 1

Is there a cost for an estimate?

Accepted Answer

No, all estimates are free of charge. Call our office and an estimator will meet you at the property and provide you with an estimate. If your schedule is such that you can't be there, we will simply call you from the site, discuss what you would like to have done, and provide you with an estimate.

Question 2

Are you licensed and insured?

Accepted Answer

Yes! This is a critical question to not only ask but to verify. In Nevada, some insurance companies consider it an act of negligence on the homeowner's part if they hire someone who is not licensed or insured and will refuse to pay if there is a claim. We recommend that you get written paperwork and call to verify that it is still current for Workers Compensation and General Liability insurance. Workers compensation insurance is extremely expensive for the tree industries and many companies simply don't carry it. Request proof of insurance and CALL to VERIFY that it is still current!

Question 3

How long does it take to get an estimate?

Accepted Answer

We try to get our estimates done as fast as possible so that you can move forward on your projects. It usually takes anywhere from 1-3 days. However, if it's possible, our goal is to meet with you the day after you call the office.

Question 4

How do I pay?

Accepted Answer

Payment is due upon completion. When the job is finished, you can pay the foreman directly or send in a check to the office. If you are unable to be at the job-site when the job is finished, simply send in a check to our office after you have inspected our work.

Question 5

How long is the estimate good for?

Accepted Answer

If nothing major has changed, our quotes are good for six months.

Question 6

When is the best time to prune trees in Las Vegas?

Accepted Answer

That depends on the tree. However, Nevada has a fairly flexible trimming season. We inspect every tree before trimming it to make sure it can handle either the heat of the summer or the cooler temperatures of winter. It's best to discuss this question with our estimators and they can provide more information based on the condition and health of the tree. There are also trees in Nevada, Palm trees for example, that are best trimmed when the seed pods start to come out. So, ask our estimators and they can give you an idea when is the best time to trim your particular trees.

Question 7

Do you offer emergency tree services?

Accepted Answer

Yes, we offer emergency tree services throughout the Las Vegas Valley. When monsoon storms, high winds, or other emergencies cause tree damage to your property, we respond quickly to remove hazards, clear debris, and protect your home.

Charleston, Laughlin, Moapa, Searchlight, Sunrise Manor, and Pahrump (Nye County). Mt. Charleston and Pahrump are served on a monthly basis.

Question 9

How do I know if a tree needs to be removed?

Accepted Answer

There are several signs that indicate a tree may need removal: significant lean or structural instability, large dead branches or extensive dead wood, fungal growth at the base or on the trunk, root damage from construction or flooding, storm damage that compromises the tree's structure, or when the tree poses a safety hazard to structures or people. Our certified arborists can assess your tree and recommend whether removal is necessary or if other treatments might save it.

Question 10

What is the difference between tree trimming and tree pruning?

Accepted Answer

While the terms are often used interchangeably, there are subtle differences. Tree trimming typically refers to cutting back overgrown branches for aesthetic purposes and to maintain a desired shape. Tree pruning is more focused on the health of the tree, removing dead, diseased, or damaged branches to promote healthy growth and prevent disease spread. Both services help maintain the structural integrity and appearance of your trees.

Question 11

Do you grind the stump after tree removal?

Accepted Answer

Stump grinding is a separate service from tree removal. After we remove a tree, we can also grind the stump down below ground level. Stump grinding eliminates tripping hazards, prevents pest infestations, stops unwanted sprout growth, and frees up the space for new landscaping. Ask about our stump grinding services when getting your tree removal estimate.

Question 12

How often should I have my palm trees trimmed in Las Vegas?

Accepted Answer

In the Las Vegas desert climate, palm trees typically need trimming once or twice per year. The best time is usually in late spring when seed pods begin to emerge. Regular palm trimming removes dead fronds, seed pods, and fruit clusters that can attract pests and create fire hazards. We recommend having palms professionally trimmed to maintain their health and prevent damage from falling fronds during monsoon season.

Question 13

Can trees survive the extreme Las Vegas summer heat?

Accepted Answer

Yes, many trees thrive in Las Vegas when properly cared for. Desert-adapted species like mesquite, palo verde, and various palm trees do well here. Even non-native trees can survive with proper watering, mulching, and care. The key is proper watering (deep, infrequent), protecting young trees from sun scald, and regular maintenance to keep trees healthy and stress-resistant. Our arborists can advise on the best care practices for your specific trees.

Question 14

What should I do if my tree is damaged by a monsoon storm?

Accepted Answer

First, prioritize safety and stay away from any downed power lines or unstable trees. Then, call us at (702) 433-4700 for emergency service. We respond quickly to storm damage throughout the Las Vegas Valley. Document the damage with photos for insurance purposes. Avoid trying to remove large branches or fallen trees yourself as this can be extremely dangerous. Our emergency crews are equipped to safely handle storm-damaged trees at any hour.

Question 15

Do you work with HOAs and property management companies?

Accepted Answer

Yes, we provide comprehensive tree services for HOAs, property management companies, and commercial properties throughout the Las Vegas Valley. We offer volume pricing, scheduled maintenance programs, and can work with your budget and timeline requirements. We understand the unique needs of community associations and can help maintain property values while ensuring resident safety.

Question 16

How much does tree removal cost in Las Vegas?

Accepted Answer

Tree removal costs vary based on several factors including the size and species of the tree, its location and accessibility, proximity to structures or power lines, whether stump grinding is included, and the overall complexity of the job. We provide free, detailed estimates for every project. Contact us for a no-obligation quote specific to your tree removal needs.
