How Trees Are Safely Removed Without Damaging Your Property

The Risk of Improper Tree Removal

While tree removal might seem straightforward, it is a complex process that requires careful planning and execution. If done incorrectly, tree removal can cause serious damage to your landscape, home, or even neighboring properties. The last thing you want is a tree falling in the wrong direction and breaking windows, crushing your roof, or damaging your driveway. Worse, improper tree removal can injure people or pets on the premises. With this in mind, hiring a tree company to safely and efficiently remove trees is crucial. Unlike untrained individuals, experts understand the intricacies of tree removal and use proven strategies to ensure a safe and seamless process.

How Professionals Ensure the Job Is Done Safely

Now that you know the risks of improper tree removal, let’s delve into different ways professional tree service providers safely remove trees.

Pre-Removal and Planning

A certified arborist inspects the tree for decay, rot, or instability to determine how it might behave when cut. During the initial inspection, experts identify potential hazards, including power lines, nearby structures, and delicate landscaping. The area is secured with safety perimeters, and obstacles like lawn furniture are removed to ensure a clear drop zone.

Controlled Removal Techniques

Instead of felling the tree at once, arborists use methods that minimize risk. This may involve climbing the tree or using a bucket to remove limbs and top sections first, cutting them into smaller and manageable pieces. Besides sectional dismantling, tree service providers use a system of ropes, pulleys, and friction devices to lower large branches and log sections slowly to the ground. Additionally, wedges can be used to control the direction of the fall, minimizing property damage and safety risks.

Protecting the Ground and Surrounding Area

One of the ways tree service providers prevent equipment from damaging your lawn or compacting the soil is by placing plywood on the ground to create a protective pathway. Also, ropes are used to pull heavy branches away from valuable structures or delicate plants. Strategic plywood layout and rigging control not only protect the ground and surrounding areas but also save you a lot of money on repairs in the long run.

Post-Removal Care

The job is not complete until the eyesore that is left behind is removed. Specialized equipment grinds the stump 6-8 inches below ground level, removing tripping hazards and allowing for replanting. After stump grinding or removal, the tree company typically cleans up all debris, including branches, sawdust, and logs, leaving your yard in good condition. By using these methods, professional arborists ensure that the tree is dismantled safely, treating the removal as a controlled, step-by-step process rather than a sudden fall.

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.
