Trees are magnificent entities that provide many benefits, from increasing property value to purifying the air. As a property owner, it is advisable to schedule routine maintenance with a professional tree care company to ensure healthy growth and longevity. If you have a small yard, several tree species can improve the quality of your property without compromising aesthetics and safety. The Sesmas Tree Service can provide pertinent information and guidance, ensuring a lush yard without the risk of root invasion.

6 Beautiful Trees to Plant in a Small Front Yard

Japanese Maple

A small yard doesn’t mean you should only grow shrubs or a garden. You can add beauty and color by planting Japanese maple. This tree produces vibrant leaves that change color year-long and grow roundly, making it ideal for limited spaces. Consult a tree service expert to determine if the conditions on your property are suitable for this species to avoid deterioration and premature tree removal.

Chaste Tree

Chaste trees are common on front yards across the country, enhancing outdoor spaces with lush green foliage and lilac blooms. Unlike most species, the chaste tree is easy to grow, but routine pruning is essential to prevent overgrowth. A tree care company recommend the chaste tree for those who want fast growth since it takes almost half the time other tree species take to grow.

Eastern Redbud

Do you enjoy a colorful yard? If so, the Eastern redbud is an excellent option, with eye-catching pink flowers that bloom during the growing season. Another benefit of this tree species is its non-invasive root system, which makes it easy to contain in small yards. These features also make it ideal to grow near hardscapes like walkways without risking damage.

Crabapple

Trees change throughout the year, depending on the season. Whether it’s colorful blooms in spring or bare trees in winter, this is not a concern with crabapple trees. This species maintains red fruits throughout, so you don’t have to worry about seasonal effects on curb appeal. Because crabapples come in varying sizes, consult a tree service expert to choose the right one for your yard.

Crape Myrtle

If you want a more natural look, crape myrtle trees are an excellent choice. Their pink flowers bloom in the spring and summer, and the green foliage maintains the tree’s beauty in the fall. Although the crape myrtles maintain foliage most of the year, improper care can cause deterioration in winter, resulting in tree removal emergencies.

Star Magnolia

Lastly, we have the star magnolia, which elevates landscapes with snow-white blossoms. These trees are small but have multiple trunks, often looking like an overgrown shrub. Routine inspections and maintenance by certified arborists are essential to prevent infections and infestations. Now that you know some of the trees to grow in a small yard, you can enhance the quality of your property without risking safety hazards.

Customer Reviews

3 large Leyland Cypress trees removed near front of our home. Excellent service, professional crew, very competitive pricing for superior work! Rolando provided the initial estimate and the  follow up and was the best in terms of customer relations. I'd both use this company again AND highly recommend them.

Susan Hitchcock

This is the 2nd time we have used Sesmas Tree Service. They are a wonderful company to deal with. They were on time, professional, and very thorough. They cleaned up prior to leaving and went out of their way to protect our plants and landscaping. And they kept to their proposal with no hidden cost or add ons. Definitely a five star experience!

Gene McFadden

Wow!  I deal with tree services in my professional work and I can honestly say Sesmas is by far the most professional, best equipped, efficient, safety conscious, and communicative service I've ever encountered.  Their price was very reasonable and they even went so far as to include additional work without increasing the price.  Call them!  Now! They are very quick to respond.

Scott McLendon

We've used Sesmas several times and have always received excellent service.  Estimates are quick and easy and the crew is efficient and leaves the property clean of debris.  Recently we needed a tree removed next to a heavily landscaped area.  Sebastian went over everything with me in detail and listened to my concerns.  The crew did an excellent job in removing the tree with minimal disturbance to the surrounding area.  We are pleased and will consider them again in the future for pruning and tree removal.

Tonia Griswold

Sesmas Tree Service was amazing! I had two dead trees cut and a lot of trees that were already down on my property removed. Sebastian came out and sent the quote in writing within 24 hours. We were in the process of scheduling the service when a slot opened up sooner snd I was able to go ahead and get the work done. Everything was explained ahead of time for what to expect. The crew was very efficient and professional.  All of the work and cleanup was done in one day. I would recommend Sesmas for your tree cutting/cleanup needs.

LaDora Woods

I hired Sesmas to cut down a very tricky tree that was hanging over my house as well as a few large limbs. They did a great job and had the machinery to get the job done right.

Perry Hartman

Great experience with Sesmas. They were meticulous with my tree removal, safe and efficient. David’s communication throughout the process was much appreciated. Highly recommend!

Lindsay Ellenburg

Great experience with Sesmas Tree Service. The arborist who came out was a Board Certified Master Arborist, and you could immediately tell he knew his stuff. He took the time to explain what needed to be done, gave us clear options, and helped us feel confident from start to finish. The whole process was easy and professional. We’ll definitely use them again.
