HOLIDAY LIGHTING

Sep 25, 2019

Although it’s only September, we are full swing into our holiday lighting season. In fact, we just wrapped up our first installation of the season at the Springs Preserve. Tony Valenti has a passion for making the holiday season merrier and brighter. He first started with spectacular light displays at his own home, then started to receive requests from commercial properties and community HOA’s to deck their halls with beautiful holiday décor, and the rest is history. Some of our holiday lighting customers include the Wynn, Providence Master HOA and McCarran Marketplace. Our lighting will be on full display at the Springs Preserve until the first week of January, 2020.

Go check them out while enjoying many of the upcoming events scheduled at the Springs Preserve, like their 10th Annual Grapes & Hops Festival and their Haunted Harvest: https://www.springspreserve.org/

DID YOU KNOW FIRST CHOICE CAN HELP HEAT YOUR HOME THIS WINTER?

Sep 18, 2019

Cooler weather will soon be upon us. That said, there’s nothing like a roaring fire to ward off winter’s chill. With cooler temperatures fast approaching, the demands for firewood will soon be greater. The warmth of a fire can be an inexpensive heating source for your home, create ambiance for any occasion and enhance your next outdoor event. Certain types of firewood can even flavor your food!

First Choice Tree Service takes wood from our completed jobs and is brought back to our yard. The wood is separated, split, stacked and is ready to purchase. Split wood and whole rounds are available in mixed woods, pine and mesquite varieties. Our firewood prices are less than retail and are sold in quantities as small as a trunkful to a full cord. Firewood are brisk during the fall and winter months, so it’s never too early to start stocking up. Call us today!

It’s Never Too Soon To Think About Your Pruning Needs

Sep 4, 2019

Cooler weather will be upon us soon! It is best to prune thin bark trees, such as plum, pear and Raywood Ash trees in the fall and winter months when the leaves have dropped and it is easier to see the structure of the tree, allowing you to prune only what is necessary. Winter is considered the dormant season for deciduous trees. Pruning during this time will maintain the trees energy reserves that encourage new growth and allow your trees to be invigorated. Winter is also the optimal time to trim pine trees to reduce mess from running sap and to allow cuts to heal properly.

Let our ISA Certified Arborists take a look at your trees to determine the type of pruning needed to help you protect your most valued landscape investment—your trees. Call us for all your fall and winter pruning needs at 702-564-1998.

WHY IS PLANT HEALTH CARE SO IMPORTANT?

Aug 28, 2019

We love our trees. We love their beauty and the value they add to our homes. However, we receive many calls from tree owners concerned there is something wrong with their tree. Everything from a tree branch has died, the leaves are dropping from the tree when they are not supposed to, to their tree just looks sick or just doesn’t look well. Many times the cause could be something minor but it’s important to get to the root of what the issue could be before it’s too late.

Maladies in trees can have many different causes. It could be your tree is lacking in much needed nutrients, or is suffering from a pest infestation, or could have a disease causing its decline. The best course of action is to contact a plant health specialist who can help you identify the issue and offer recommendations and treatments to bring your trees back to their full beauty and health. But mostly, it’s important to not wait until your tree presents a serious condition. It’s best to maintain your tree’s health with regular fertilization, and insect and disease control applications. Call our office today to learn more or to schedule a plant heath assessment for your trees and shrubs.
