Trees are living things that need regular care and maintenance. Healthy trees add life and color to the environment, so we recommend scheduling routine maintenance with a trusted tree care company. A diseased tree can go undetected for a long, causing further deterioration and tree death if you don’t act on time. If you suspect a tree in your backyard is diseased, Sesmas Tree Service can help you assess, diagnose, and detect the problem before things get out of hand. We leverage extensive industry knowledge to identify minor signs of deterioration and recommend viable solutions. Here are ways to salvage a diseased tree.

Can a Diseased Tree Be Saved?

Identify Signs of Disease

Most people only identify signs of a disease once the damage becomes more pronounced and compromises the overall well-being of the trees. While diseased trees can be difficult to pinpoint during the initial stages, delaying care can cause premature deterioration and death. Our arborists have years of experience and identify signs of disease before taking a toll on your trees. We assess your trees to determine the cause of the problem and recommend solutions to prevent damage and salvage your trees. Call a tree care company to ease concerns when you notice signs of damage or disease.

Identify the Problem

Once your trees show signs of infection, the next step is identifying the cause. It is challenging to pinpoint the cause of tree disease if you lack the knowledge and experience of a professional tree service company. Hence, working with a professional tree care company allows you to use their experience to assess and diagnose a tree problem. Early detection is critical in identifying the cause of the disease and taking the steps to mitigate spreading. The last thing you want is a diseased tree compromising the well-being of surrounding healthy trees.

Correct Watering Issues

Inadequate irrigation increases susceptibility to diseases. Although mature trees can survive longer with little water, saplings need regular watering to grow healthy and sturdy. Ensure the tree site has good drainage and water the tree for at least two minutes so that you don’t drown the soil. If you don’t have time to water your backyard manually, we can help set up automated sprinklers to mitigate the risk of under and overwatering. The right amount of water goes a long way in ensuring a diseased tree gets enough water to grow and prevent diseases.

Proper Mulching

Another effective way to save a diseased tree is to apply mulch properly. Mounting mulch material around a tree can cause further damage, affecting the well-being of your trees. Mulch should be three to four inches thick, providing essential nutrients to grow healthy trees. One of the common reasons trees are prone to diseases is a lack of nutrients, and mulching can ensure your trees have vital minerals and nutrients to avoid fungal and bacterial infections.

If you suspect a tree in your yard is diseased, contact us at the Sesmas Tree Service and schedule a consultation with our representatives. We provide various tree care and maintenance services at competitive market rates.

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.
