How do you know a tree needs to be removed?
Consider removing a tree if you observe severe damage or decay, or if its roots or offshoots are growing too close to your house. The number of decayed trees in Las Vegas is low compared to other parts of the country. If you observe any of the following signs, contact a tree removal professional.
The tree has damage from heavy rain or thunderstorms. The tree is severely burned or visibly dead. The tree’s roots are causing your home’s foundation to crack or lift. The tree’s branches or trunk are cracked and won’t heal. The tree has pests, mold or diseases weakening its structure. The tree or its branches are dangerously close to your home or another structure on your property. The tree is dropping far more sap, leaves, seeds, branches or needles than usual.
Trees that are leaning or have elevated soil around the tree trunk base are more likely to fall. Contact a tree removal service immediately to examine the tree and safely remove it if necessary.
What is a hazard tree?
Hazard trees, sometimes called danger trees, have irreparable structural defects that make them prone to falling. A falling tree poses a substantial risk to vehicles, people, property and pets. Signs of a structural defect include rotten wood, dead branches, large cracks, loose bark and hollow cavities near the tree base. If you have a hazard tree on your property, get it removed immediately.

What other tree services might you need?
Some tree removal companies provide an assortment of extra services beyond removing trees. These may include the following:
- Wood chipping: A tree removal specialist can use a wood chipper to break down the trunk and branches following the tree’s removal. Afterward, you can spread the mulch in your garden to enhance plant growth.
- Debris removal: Debris like branches, logs and leaves is often left behind after tree removal. Some companies can use dump trucks or flatbeds to haul debris away.
- Stump removal: Only the stump will remain once a tree removal job is complete. A professional might recommend completely removing the stump based on the circumstances. They may also grind the stump so the tree’s remnants decompose more easily. Stump removal is more expensive than grinding, but it guarantees that the tree won’t regrow.
- Landscaping services: Some tree removal professionals provide landscaping services. By choosing one of these companies, you could install a replacement tree or cover the space where the stump was located.

How to choose the best tree removal service in Las Vegas
Use these factors to select the best tree removal company for your needs.
Ask whether the company has a licensed arborist on staff
Arborists are scientific experts that help you care for your trees. They may recommend restoring the tree’s health or removal if a tree has a high fall risk. Arborists can also offer valuable insights on pruning, planting and moving trees to help them grow properly and last for years. Nevada doesn’t have arborist licensing rules, so we recommend looking for an arborist certified by the International Society of Arboriculture (ISA). Arborists must have three years of field experience and pass an exam to obtain the certification. ISA-certified arborists have the experience, knowledge and skills to help with your tree removal.
Make sure the company is licensed and insured
When hiring a tree removal company, make sure it carries comprehensive insurance coverage, including business liability, general liability and workers compensation. This coverage can financially protect you if an accident happens. City and county governments often set their own tree removal licensing laws. A contractor in Las Vegas doesn’t need a state license if tree removal is the only service they offer. We recommend contacting the Las Vegas government and your county to ensure a prospective contractor meets all requirements.
Request a tree risk assessment
To determine if removing a tree is the right choice, have a tree risk assessment (TRA). To perform a TRA, an arborist starts by identifying clear signs of damage from a distance. Then, they’ll circle around the tree, closely inspecting the trunk, roots and crown. Sometimes, arborists use specialized gear to study the tree’s interior.
Get a free estimate
Many tree removal companies offer free consultations and estimates. We recommend getting multiple estimates to compare prices and recommendations.
Read reviews from homeowners
Ask friends, neighbors and family for suggestions on reputable tree removal companies in your area. It’s also wise to read online reviews on sites like Google Reviews, Yelp and BBB.
