Having plants throughout your property is a great way to add curb appeal and beauty to your yard. But, if the home you live in had things like Japanese knotweed, a tree of heaven, or winged euonymus plants, then you know how wild these plants can get. These are what Sesmas Tree Service calls invasive plants. As a tree company offering a wide variety of tree and plant care services, we’ve seen our fair share of invasive plants and we’ve learned just how to deal with them.

Dealing With Invasive Plants

Invasive plants are not considered native to an ecosystem. In fact, by adding anything that is considered an invasive plant can cause harm to your current ecosystem in your property. What does this mean for your other plants? This means it can cause other plants to dry out, die, or becoming infested with insects or diseases. As a homeowner, you work so hard to create a beautiful landscape for your home, do you really want it to be ruined by an invasive plant? We think not! If you’re looking for a tree company that can provide you with tree removal or aid in dealing with invasive plants, you need to call Sesmas Tree Service today!

How To Identify & Manage Invasive Plants

Depending on where you are located, there may be some native invasive plants in your area that you might already have on your property. Each region has different plants that homeowners need to look out for. If you have a plant on your property that you aren’t sure about, just call Sesmas Tree Service and we will come and check it out for you!

Some common invasive plant species are Japanese knotweed, burning bush (also known as winged euonymus), and tree of heaven are known for being some of the most invasive plants there are.

These invasive plants species, in addition to the other hundreds of different species, started off as being purposely planted in yards. But, after some time, homeowners realized these species were actually ruining their other plants. Once these kinds of plant species are rooted and established, it can be hard to get rid of them, and it can be hard to grow other things around them.

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.

So, what do you do if you have invasive plants? The first thing you will want to do is call Sesmas Tree Service for tree removal or tree care. You can also try pulling these plants out (depending on their size). If you go with this option, you want to ensure you get all of the roots out or the plant will just grow back. You can also try moving or trimming the plant to stop it from growing.

It’s important to find a solution that works for your property. Without proper care for invasive plants, you won’t have an easy time growing anything else.
