Trees have so much to offer our world, our health, and even our property. A well-kept tree provides oxygen, shade, fruits, aesthetics, and even privacy! Thats right: you do not have to put up with those big brown fences that are eye sores anyway. Instead, plant some fast growing trees to get privacy without the cost of ruining the aesthetic of your yard. Sesmas Tree Service knows a thing or two about trees and we are happy to suggest some trees and shrubs which are fast growing and dense. If you have any questions or concerns, or if you would like to hire an ISA-certified arborist, then call Sesmas Tree Service and get in touch with a friendly representative today.

Fast Growing Shrubs

Shrubs and bushes are made for this. They are fast-growing, dense, and tie the landscape together. Though there are a countless number of options, we are going to mention just a handful of great, fast growing shrubs for your landscape:

North Privet: Americas fastest growing hedge, the North Privet, can grow up to three feet per year. Its dense, dark, and glossy foliage give a formal appearance but this shrub should be sheared early and often so that it develops thick layers of branches for year-round privacy.
Forsythia: You dont want your private abode being gloomy, do you? The forsythias bright yellow flowers are sure to brighten up your yard. The forsythia are some of the earliest spring flowers and grow about two feet per year.
Mock Orange: The mock orange will give you the best of three worlds with its quick growth, beautiful flowers, and citrusy smell.
Nelly R. Stevens Holly: Lets add an evergreen for good measure. The Nelly Stevens Hollies can grow up to three feet per year and reach a mature height between fifteen and twenty-five feet. That should be enough, right?

Fast Growing Trees

Okay, maybe you have a two- or three-story home with similarly large houses around. A few feet of shrubs are not going to cut it. In this case, you are going to want some fast growing trees:

Leyland Cypress: Even if you do not know it by name, you have certainly seen them if you ever strolled through a premier neighborhood. This beautiful, slender evergreen can grow up to four feet per year to a height of up to sixty feet!
Hybrid Poplar: If you do not have time to spare, then go with a hybrid poplar. These towering trees can grow up to eight feet per year, reaching a maximum height of around 50 feet.
Silver Maple: For those who do not want to plant tree after tree, there is the silver maple. These massive trees grow up to seventy feet tall and forty feet wide!

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.
