Small tree removal in Reno

Dominic does small tree removal in Reno and around the Reno-Tahoe area. He takes a small tree out of your yard and hauls the whole thing off the property. Text a photo to (775) 316-7470 to book it. What sets this job apart from a cleanout is the load. It's all wood, and it usually stands in a backyard or a side strip far from the street, so every piece gets carried a long way. The pieces are heavy and awkward, and the path out often runs past a fence and a garden. Think of the young tree that died in the back corner of the yard.

Homeowners call when a tree has to go before a project starts, or after it's already dead and dropping limbs. Property managers call when a rental yard needs a dead tree gone between tenants. Bigger ground, like a lot full of brush and several trees, fits land clearing better. Loose branches with no tree attached fit yard debris removal. This page is for the single small tree, or a couple of them, and everything that comes off them.

What counts as a small tree removal job?

It covers one small tree or a few of them, and everything that came off them. That means the trunk, the limbs, the brush around the base and the twigs piled up underneath. Most calls are about a dead tree, or one standing where a new fence or shed has to go. The spot where it stood gets cleaned up before the job is called done.

If you aren't sure your tree counts as small, the photo settles it. Get the whole tree in the frame with something next to it for scale, like the fence or the side of the house. A second shot of the path from the tree out to the street helps too, since that path is the route every limb takes on its way out.

How much does small tree removal cost in Reno?

Small tree removal starts at $80, the minimum on every job. Past that, the price comes from how much room the wood takes on the truck. A short dead tree with thin limbs takes less space than a wide one with heavy branches, and the price follows the space. Loading, hauling and disposal are all inside the quote, and dump fees are never billed on their own.

You get a quote for the whole job, from a photo or from an in-person look when the tree calls for it. The quote holds unless the job turns out bigger than the photo showed. You can pay with cash, credit or debit card, Venmo, Zelle or check. For how bigger loads around the house get priced, the junk removal cost guide for Reno lays it out. If other yard junk is waiting too, the list of what he hauls shows what can join the trip.

How does a small tree get out of a fenced backyard?

It gets carried out by hand from wherever the tree stood, back corner and all. The trunk and the limbs go out through the side gate or whatever path the yard has, one armload at a time, and onto the truck. A narrow gate or a path past the flower beds just means more trips across the yard. Once the price is approved, by you or by the property manager on a rental, he sets a day and time.

The work gets explained before it starts, so you know which way the wood goes out and what part of the yard gets crossed. When the last of the wood is loaded, a final walkthrough of the spot where the tree stood ends the job.

Where does the wood go once the tree is hauled off?

The wood goes to a landfill, either the Stead landfill or the Carson City landfill. A tree isn't something Goodwill can use, so the donation stop that comes first on a cleanout doesn't apply to the trunk or the limbs. Metal is the exception on this job. Old tree stakes, wire ties or a strip of fencing caught in the branches go to a scrap yard to be recycled.

If the tree job turns up something worth keeping, like a bench or a planter in decent shape, it can go to Goodwill. Leftover paint is its own case. A can or two of old fence paint sitting by the tree goes to Greymar for disposal. What ends up where depends on what's actually in the pile.

How far out will Dominic come for a small tree?

He drives up to 75 miles for a job. That covers Reno, Sparks and Carson City, the Tahoe towns like Incline Village, Kings Beach and Truckee, and the valleys out to Fernley, Fallon, Gardnerville, Minden and Virginia City. You can see each town on the list of towns he drives to around Reno and Lake Tahoe.

Wherever the tree is, the haul to the landfill is built into the quote. A backyard tree up at the lake starts with a photo, same as one in Reno.
