Trees in your backyard or neighborhood may catch your attention; some are sturdy and healthy, while others are weak and struggling. The reason for this difference is usually proper trimming, which plays a crucial role in ensuring long-lasting and healthy trees. Homeowners often tackle DIY projects to save money, but tree trimming in Atlanta, GA requires extensive expertise and the proper tools to execute correctly. At Sesmas Tree Service, we have highly trained arborists in various trimming techniques, addressing your specific needs. Still not convinced that regular trimming can help trees grow stronger? Here are the reasons to reconsider.

Why Strategic Tree Trimming Leads to Healthier Growth

Removes Hazards

Trimming is an essential tree care practice that involves cutting dying, diseased, damaged, or even dead branches. These hazardous limbs are prone to breaking unexpectedly, posing serious risks to people and property. Additionally, visible damage may suggest a more serious underlying problem, prompting immediate attention to prevent further damage and emergency tree removal services. Regularly trimming your trees reduces these risks and keeps your greenery lush all year round.

Develops Strong Structure

Another way that trimming your trees can boost growth, especially when young, is to ensure a sturdy structure. Tree trimming not only shapes the tree’s framework but also ensures strong branch attachments and a balanced canopy that can handle weight and wind. Although the process may seem straightforward, mistakes or the wrong technique can stress the tree and cause other issues that ultimately lead to premature removal. With that said, working with a licensed tree company can ensure young trees get the care they need to thrive.

Improves Airflow and Sunlight

A tree with dense foliage may not raise concerns initially, but it can prevent air from circulating, encourage mold growth, and block sunlight from reaching inner leaves. Strategically trimming overgrown branches can improve airflow and sunlight, ultimately boosting photosynthesis. Even if a tree appears strong, ignoring dense foliage and overgrown limbs may be harming the tree. Before breaking out your tools, schedule an inspection with a tree service provider to ensure proper technique and long-lasting results.

Stimulate New Growth

Trimming trees not only gets rid of potentially hazardous branches but also triggers dormant buds, redirecting the tree’s energy to produce more vigorous shoots and foliage. Although the initial action requires cutting branches, trimming actually boosts growth come spring. If a tree on your property is not growing as expected or shows signs of weakness, call a professional arborist to inspect it and determine whether trimming or pruning is necessary.

Increase Vigor and Production

A properly trimmed tree directs its resources towards healthy growth, leading to more abundant flowers and fruit. If you have fruit trees in your backyard, trimming may be the best course of action to increase yields for years to come. Also, trees that suddenly reduce fruits and flowers during the growing season indicate a more severe underlying problem that requires professional intervention. A licensed expert can schedule regular maintenance inspections that involve trimming and other care practices, maximizing production.

Understanding How Tree Trimming Works

Trimming requires expertise and professional-grade tools to safely and efficiently remove overgrown, dead, dying, or damaged branches. By cutting down unproductive wood, the tree conserves and redirects energy to healthier, stronger parts. This reduces stress on your trees and maximizes the available resources to ensure strong growth.

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.
