"Eric with Vargas Landscaping started by cutting down and removing several trees which was done in one day. He and the crew did a fantastic job. They showed up on time and completed the job that we were promised. Two days later he came back and removed all of the outdated landscaping and irrigation system. He replaced all the plants and rock landscaping in three days. He installed lighting for our new path along with new pavers. He is honest and did what he promised. We would highly recommend."

"Having read consistently good reviews about this company on Angie's List, Google Maps and Yelp, I originally contacted Henrie Tree Service on 02/08/2018 regarding a very tall, now 24-year-old Afghan (Mondell) pine tree in my front yard that was showing signs of blight (brown needles, etc.) especially near the top of the tree. The owner, Duane Henrie, proved to be a very knowledgeable (an arborist) and pleasant fellow who was by no means in a hurry and took his time to explain everything when he came by to see at no-charge me that afternoon. He recommended a wait and see approach with regular deep watering, "Super Thrive" applications and "Bayer Advanced Tree & Shrub Protect" for one year or so before any more radical measures such as tree removal should even be considered. Well, in light of this good first experience, I did once again call on Duane Henrie and his crew to remove 2 large and essentially dead bottlebrush shrubs (including stump grinding to bottom) in my backyard on 03/09/2018. They were right on time at 07:00 a.m. as scheduled. Everything went very smoothly and all the work was completed in little over one hour. You'd never know that any plants had once been located in the work area(s); everything was left clean as a whistle and this included repairing any damage that the stump grinding may have caused to my nearby PVC irrigation line. My total cost was $245.00. Personally, Duane and his employees strike me as being one of the best tree service companies in the Las Vegas metropolitan area and the posted reviews all bear this out. Since they keep a busy schedule and are in demand throughout the year, I have already arranged a return visit for July 2018 to trim the 4 palm trees on my property. If you are looking for a truly professional and competent tree service experience by an arborist (not just a landscape service provider who claims to be in the know about all things green and beautiful, but really isn't), then perhaps you too should give Duane Henrie's company a try? If you do, I am quite certain that you will not be disappointed!"

"The plants have died. The owner has been very good about working with me. They were suppose to come out and remove the dead plants and re-position the other plants. She has been nice about answering my questions. calling me and coming out to look at the yard. Maybe she thinks it's not the right time of the year to fix the plants. 

Stay on top of it. Make sure they do what they say they are going to do. They did get back right away by email. She's very good about getting back to me, but as far as getting something done remains to be seen. She's been pleasant to talk to and she has not been ignoring me. It has been almost satisfactory, because they had to come back and fix the artificial turf."

Arborists questions, answered by experts

Signs include dead branches, growth over structures, diseases, pests, or roots impacting hardscapes.

There are several methods to hollow out a tree stump, and the best one depends on your tools, experience, and priorities. Common methods include using a chisel and hammer, a chainsaw, or burning.

  • Chisel and Hammer: This is often considered the easiest approach for those with limited tools or experience, though it is the most time-consuming.

  • Chainsaw: Using a chainsaw is the fastest method, but it comes with significant safety risks, especially for inexperienced users.

  • Burning: This can be an effective method, but it is not recommended unless you can first drill holes into the stump. Without holes, the stump will be difficult to light and may not burn completely through.

A power drill with at least a ⅜-inch diameter bit can make the job quicker and easier, regardless of the primary method. While you can use a chisel or chainsaw without a drill, it will require more time and effort. Always wear protective goggles and thick gloves, as splinters are an inevitable risk.

Light-bark trees are most notorious for producing lots of sap when wounded. These varieties include maples, birches, poplars, dogwoods, magnolias, and elms, and they will bleed more when the trees are dormant. That’s why it’s a good idea to prune them in the summer months rather than waiting until winter.

Sometimes, knowing when you need tree-trimming services is straightforward, and other times, you have to do some investigating. Some tell-tale signs that you should have your tree trimmed include:

  • A poorly-formed tree with unruly branches, which makes the tree appear odd-shaped. 

  • A tree with tall or large branches that interfere with power lines or your home’s exterior.

  • A tree that provides too much shade in the yard due to branch overgrowth.

It is possible to cut down a tree on your property yourself, but it is generally not recommended unless specific conditions are met. You should only consider this project if the tree is small (e.g., under 4-5 inches in diameter and short enough that you don't need a ladder to reach the branches), and you are experienced in handling a chainsaw. The tree must also be located far from any power lines, fences, homes, or other structures. Even for small trees, the work can be dangerous, and it's always advisable to have a spotter to ensure the tree falls correctly and no branches fall on you.

For any tree that is large, requires a ladder to access, or is near electrical lines or structures, you should always hire a professional. Attempting to remove a large tree yourself is extremely dangerous, poses a risk of serious injury, and could result in significant damage to your property.

Before any tree removal, it's also important to check your local and state regulations to ensure the tree is not historic or otherwise protected by your city.
