When caring for your property, trees play a significant role in enhancing aesthetics and providing shade. However, attention to tree removal can lead to many problems of aesthetics and can seriously affect property and personal safety. At the Sesmas Tree Service, we understand the potential dangers of ignoring tree removal, from financial costs associated with emergencies to the hazards of unstable or overgrown trees. Working with reputable arborists is imperative, ensuring you make informed decisions about maintenance and removal.

Risks of Ignoring Tree Removal

Financial Costs of Emergency Tree Removal

One of the most immediate dangers of neglecting tree removal is the financial burden it can impose. When you leave trees unchecked, they become diseased, damaged, or overgrown, posing a severe risk to your property. During storms or heavy winds, these compromised trees may suddenly fall, causing extensive damage to your home, vehicles, or other structures on your property.

The cost of emergency tree removal, including repairing the damage caused, can be astronomical. Insurance may cover some of these expenses, but you may still have substantial out-of-pocket costs. Preventative care and regular inspections by a tree service expert guarantee prompt removal of hazardous trees, saving you from financial setbacks.

Hazards Posed by Unstable Trees

Unstable trees are a ticking time bomb on your property. Trees with weakened or decaying trunks, large dead branches, or an unbalanced canopy are likely to fail, especially during adverse weather. When these trees fall, they can cause severe injuries and extensive property damage to anyone in their path.

In addition, the danger isn’t limited to the tree’s immediate vicinity. Falling branches can pose a risk to pedestrians, vehicles, and neighboring properties. Ignoring the signs of tree instability can lead to devastating consequences that could have been prevented by hiring a tree care company for inspections and removal. 

Overgrown Bushes and Their Impact

While most people call arborists to remove large trees, overgrown bushes, and shrubs also present various dangers when neglected. Overgrown vegetation can obstruct sightlines, making it challenging to navigate your property safely. This puts you at risk and can also be a hazard for visitors, mail carriers, or delivery personnel.

Overgrown bushes can also provide hiding spots for pests and intruders, compromising personal safety. To ensure the security of your property and maintain a welcoming environment, schedule regular pruning and removal of overgrown vegetation with tree service experts.

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.

Legal Liabilities

Ignoring the need for tree removal can cause legal liabilities. If a tree on your property causes damage to neighboring properties or injures someone, you may be held legally responsible. To avoid potential lawsuits and associated costs, it is crucial to assess the health and stability of your trees regularly and take proper action when necessary.

The dangers of ignoring tree removal can have far-reaching consequences. To mitigate these risks, investing in regular tree inspections, maintenance, and removal is essential when needed. Doing so can protect your assets, ensure your safety, and contribute to a healthier environment.
