Which trees are first to go?

Dead, dying and badly damaged trees, and any that overhang the house or sit within a few feet of it. The Living With Fire guide from UNR Extension asks for the first 5 feet around a house to be free of combustible plants and material. A tree in that strip, alive or dead, is a decision for the owner and the arborist.

What do the heating numbers add?

About 22% of households heat mainly with wood and about 51% with bottled gas (U.S. Census Bureau, ACS 2020-2024, a small sample, so approximate). Where wood is a main fuel, trees removed on the property are often wanted as firewood. Say so at the estimate; for firewood availability, call the office at 775.232.8243.

How much room does the work need?

Fish Springs lots are large, and a mostly open parcel gives a crew room to set up a boom truck or a chipper. The arborist checks access, slope and overhead lines at the free estimate and chooses a method, whether climbing, boom truck or crane.
