Trees are not just magnificent entities that add beauty to our landscapes, but also improve the overall quality of life. While mature trees can live for many years, they require regular care to ensure you enjoy the benefits. That’s where Sesmas Tree Service comes in to help you keep your landscape healthy for years. We leverage extensive expertise and knowledge to inspect, diagnose, and recommend effective solutions to ensure your trees remain vibrant, strong, and resilient year-round.

Long-Term Tree Care Plans for a Healthy Landscape

The Importance of Tree Health

Trees are not just beautiful additions to your landscape but also long-term investments that provide shade, increase property value, and improve air quality. Not to mention, mature trees provide habitat and food for wildlife, contributing to a healthy ecosystem. However, this investment can quickly disappear without the proper care. The last thing you want is one season of disease, pest infestation, or drought stress causing severe damage or even death, and stump grinding emergencies.

As a property owner, prioritizing tree health by taking a more proactive approach can help avoid costly setbacks. Regular pruning, pest management, soil conditioning, and health assessments play a crucial role in preventing common problems before they escalate. By working with a reputable tree company, you can rest assured that your backyard will remain safe, vibrant, and structurally sound for years to come.

The Foundation of Long-Term Tree Health

Healthy trees require a strong foundation, which begins below the canopy. Let’s explore vital practices that boost resilience, support vigorous tree growth, reduce susceptibility to environmental stressors, disease, and pests.

Consistent Watering

Water helps living things grow, and trees are no exception. Saplings, in particular, require consistent moisture to establish a sturdy and healthy root system. With this in mind, failing to adequately water your trees during this critical phase can lead to shallow roots, susceptibility to environmental stressors, and premature removal. In addition, mature trees require deep watering, especially during the warm months, to encourage root growth and tolerance over time.

Mulching

Mulching is a crucial tree care practice that involves adding at least 2-4 inches of organic mulch. The most preferred mulch material is wooden chips, which are produced during stump grinding projects. Mulch not only boosts the mineral content in the soil but also reduces soil temperature and preserves water in the summer. It is essential to leave space around the base when mulching to avoid rot and pest issues.

Soil Care and Aeration

Another vital aspect of long-term tree health is proper soil care and aeration. Compacted soil, often found in high-traffic areas, impedes the movement of air, water, and nutrients to the roots. Trees require these vital components to grow healthy, hence the need to prioritize soil care. A certified tree service provider utilizes specialized equipment to remove soil plugs, as well as create pockets for water and air to boost root expansion.

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.

Proper Fertilization

Trees in urban areas often lack access to vital nutrient recycling that often occurs in forests. This process involves fallen leaves forming organic matter that enriches the soil, which promotes growth and health. If you live in the city or the outskirts, practicing periodic fertilization goes a long way to defend against stressors and support healthy growth. Improper fertilization may not raise concerns initially, but it can lead to stunted development and premature tree removal in Atlanta, GA.

By implementing these crucial practices, you can give trees in your backyard the best chance for long-term health and aesthetic appeal. Taking a proactive approach not only supports tree vitality but also contributes to the success of your landscape. Contact us at Sesmas Tree Service to book an appointment with our experts and enjoy lush trees for many years to come.
