Tree risk assessment is essentially when a professional arborist analyzes a tree and concludes just how much of a risk it poses to the surrounding structures and environment. In order to assess the risk of a tree, a lot of factors have to be taken into account. For example, the size, strength, and health of the tree, its structural stability, its defects and state of decay, its root characteristics, the condition of the soil surrounding it, and weather conditions are all taken into account when determining what kinds of hazards the tree could cause. Furthermore, the arrangement of branches, the existence of co-dominant stems, and any diseases or pests that are plaguing the tree are all called into question as well. In order to identify the potential for risk, Sesmas Tree Service arborists must perform a number of procedures to ensure that the assessment is as accurate as possible. This involves systematic inspections and even the use of equipment to…
The nature of lightning is such that tall objects are more vulnerable to strikes than others. This means that lightning protection for trees can be an issue that seriously needs to be addressed, especially if you live in an area where lightning storms are not uncommon. Lightning can create an explosion when striking a tree, which means that bark can be splintered and wood can blow off and separate completely from the rest of the structure. In some cases, the tree can even burst into flames. Even if the lightning didn't kill the tree on its own, the damage that tree experiences can make it vulnerable to other diseases or pests that could certainly end up killing it shortly after the strike. The bottom line is that when lightning damages a tree on your property, the entire structure may be compromised This is why you shouldn't hesitate to call a Sesmas arborist to check it out as soon as…
Signs of disease: Fungal growth, such as mushrooms or white/gray patches Sudden increase of blackened or dead shoots Unexplained wilting, yellowing, or browning of leaves Soft, easy-to-crumble wood Rust spots and lesions on fruits Some of the most common diseases are leaf spot disease, canker disease, mold and mildew diseases, and rot of the root system, trunk or heart. Signs of insect or pest damage: Foliage that is riddled with holes Sudden onset of dead branches The presence of bundles of insect eggs Vertical splits in bark Insect emergence holes Larvae found beneath bark Aphids, emerald ash borers, black turpentine beetles, Asian longhorn beetles and termites are just a few pests that can cause serious damage to your trees.

That inanimate tree standing outside on your lawn may seem harmless, but it can surely cause a lot of damage. There is nothing to joke about when it comes to unstable and precarious trees. Large trees weigh tons, and even branches can be devastatingly heavy; they can result in terrible damage and fatalities.

Every property owner should be prepared for the worst by having an emergency tree service provider's number in their contacts list. Residents are encouraged to save the Sesmas Tree Services number, as we provide 24/7 emergency services in Georgia and North Carolina. Storms are the single most common cause of accidents involving trees.

Are you looking for a reliable tree company for tree trimming or pruning? Sesmas Tree Service offers expert residential and commercial tree trimming services. Call our office today at 678-896-8352 to schedule tree trimming and pruning in your area. Trees can be majestic ornaments that beautify your landscape and substantially raise the value of your property. However, they can also be massive liabilities that threaten personal property, lives, and the growth of surrounding plants and trees by obstructing the sunlights path. Keeping your trees strong and healthy can be the difference between seeing your propertys value increase by thousands and seeing your car smashed by a branch that has been barely holding on for far too long. One of the many ways, and the most common way, to maintain your trees is with tree trimming, also called tree pruning. Tree pruning is the process of removing branches to improve the form of the tree, remove dead or diseased branches,…
The reasons for tree removal vary quite a bit. Perhaps you've moved into a new home and want to get rid of a tree that's blocking the entire view of your front yard. Maybe a tree on your property is suffering from disease, and simply pruning it won't solve the problem.

Trees and shrubs are essential to any lawn or garden, providing color, shade, and structure to your property. Taking care of your trees and shrubs can make the difference between a good yard and a great yard. Pruning back branches, fertilizing the roots, regular watering, as well as keeping insects and diseases from infecting your trees and bushes are all part of the job. It takes time and dedication to keep your plantlife healthy and attractive, and Sesmas Tree & Lawn Care is just the company to deliver the best results. Pruning limbs on a tree is not only visually pleasing, but it can also stop the spread of disease to the rest of the tree. Make sure to prune any limbs with bark that has been rubbed off, and make sure to dip your pruning shears into a bleach solution to avoid transferring diseases to other trees. Trees and bushes will need less water as they get older,…
When you think of fertilizers, you might think of grass and flowers and hardly consider a tree or a bush needing to be fertilized, but that is actually quite the opposite. If you have either young or recently transplanted trees or shrubs, you may find that particular fertilizers can help them secure their roots and grow large and green over the years. On the other hand, if you have a poor pH balance or soil that provides few nutrients to your plant life, fertilizing is a must for healthy trees and shrubs. Knowing the best fertilizers for your trees and bushes can make all the difference between a thriving plant and a dying plant, and at Sesmas Tree Service, we can help you find the solutions you need. Did you know? Over-fertilizing a shrub or tree can actually lead to burns on the roots and problems with growth. In some cases, bushes that were over-fertilized will not produce as…
Flower beds are a great place to accent the green of your lawn with something different, whether it is bushes, decorative trees, flowers, or anything else. Problems that can arise from pine straw or mulch involve weeds growing around your wanted plant life and taking away the nutrients from the soil. This can hinder your plant growth and make the area look unattractive. That's why a Sesmas Tree Service pre-emergent application can prevent any such weeds from taking root in the beds, keeping your flowers healthy and the flower beds rid of pesky weeds. A pre-emergent is basically an herbicide that will prevent any seeds from germinating in the area that it is applied. This means invading weeds and crabgrass can be stopped in their tracks before planting roots in the soil around your lawn and gardens. The great thing about this pre-emergent is that it will not affect any plants that have already established a root system. A pre-emergent works…
Did you know that if you can't easily slide a shovel into your lawn, then the soil on your property is too hard to absorb water? To have a healthy yard, the soil must have access to air circulated in the soil as well as water and other nutrients. Aerating the soil in your yard is an excellent way to keep your grass healthy and provide an easier method for grass seed to get into the soil and take root. Aerating a yard is the perfect way to keep your soil healthy and full of nutrients for your grass to grow. If you have your property aerated two times a year, the soil will be opened up for healthy circulation without it becoming too hard for you to provide water and fertilizers. Once your yard is aerated, beneficial fertilizers can be spread in the soil to help the growth of grass. Seeding your yard is something that is necessary to…
A healthy lawn is like a recipe that calls for several important ingredients working together, including proper sunlight, the right amount of water, a nutrient-rich soil, and a fertilizer that can help the grass take advantage of all these needs. When it comes to fertilizing, you may be surprised to find the diversity it may take to cover everything. Your grass fertilizer cannot be used on your flowers, and your flower fertilizer cannot be used on your trees and bushes. Even when it comes to grass fertilizer, the type of grass you have may require a different fertilizer than your neighbor's. If you want to fertilize everything in your yard, your head might begin spinning from how much you might have to do! Luckily, Sesmas Tree Service is here to advise you on what kinds of fertilizers it is you require, as well as provide the services necessary to get the job done right. Fertilizing your trees, shrubs, lawn, and other…

If you have been battling with weeds that are taking over your lawn and beds you may feel overworked and underwhelmed with your results. Weeds can be pesky plants that are great at spreading and digging their roots in deep, causing problems with your wanted plants and making your lawn less healthy and attractive in general. The traditional method of dealing with this issue is back-breaking work; you on your hands and knees pulling the weeds out of the ground by the root, one at a time. This can prove to be a daunting task, specially if the weed problem has gotten out of control, but Sesmas Tree Service & Lawn Care is here to help. We offer our expertise in eradicating the weeds in your lawn, and…
Other than crabgrass and various types of weeds, pests can be detrimental to your lawn's health and growth. When weeds take root in the soil, they take up water and nutrients that can benefit your wanted plants, but pests destroy your plantlife from the top down. Pests such as grubs, beetles, and worms can cause damage to your lawn, while ants, fleas, and ticks can cause health issues for family members and pets if in contact with these infestations. Using proper pest control on your property can not only stop any infestation that may have taken over, but also prevent any future infestations from happening again. As many are aware, planting flowers, bushes, and trees in a bed and maintaining your grass can be a lot of work. That's why when you see grubs, worms, and other bugs destroying your flowers and killing your plantlife, it can be extremely stressful. Applying a pesticide for these conditions can certainly mean the…
The second you see fungus towering over your grass, it may be frustrating knowing that the slightest touch of those mushrooms will spread spores all over your lawn causing more fungus to grow. By taking steps towards preventative care and with constant maintenance, you can be sure that fungus will no longer burden your lawn again. Fungus can grow in moist areas, so you first need to make sure you are not over-watering your lawn. With standing water above the soil, you are practically putting a welcome mat down for fungus spores to settle on your lawn and grow. Keeping your lawn watered is important, but you also have to make sure you do not overcompensate. Fertilizing your lawn is also important, because soil with a low amount of nutrients is more susceptible to a fungus problem than others. Furthermore, keeping your lawn well-manicured and letting the grass grow longer will establish a healthy lawn, preventing other fungus roots from…

Some tree removals reach a point where standard equipment simply is not enough to do the job safely. Tight clearances, extreme height, or heavy sections call for a different level of planning. At Sesmas Tree Service, we provide professional crane service for situations where precision, control, and protection of surrounding property matter most. Below, we break down when crane work makes sense and what homeowners should understand before scheduling it. A tree crane company gets called when the risk of a standard removal outweighs the cost of bringing in specialized equipment. When a tree leans over a house, sits between power lines, or grows too close to a pool or deck, controlled lifts replace felled sections that could shift unpredictably. Height by itself can move a job into crane territory. A 70-foot oak with a 30-inch diameter trunk generates enormous weight once you start cutting sections. Trying to lower pieces by rope puts the crew and everything underneath at serious…
Storms can leave behind broken limbs, split trunks, and fallen trees that block access and threaten nearby structures. In those moments, timing, coordination, and safe removal matter more than anything else. Sesmas Tree Service provides storm damage cleanup for local homeowners. Read more to see how storm cleanup is handled and what to expect once the weather clears. Wind and rain do different things to trees when they fail. Some trunks split vertically when one side catches more wind than the other. Others uproot completely if the soil saturates and the root system loses its hold. Limbs snap at weak areas where decay has been working unseen for years. Large branches may crack but stay lodged in the canopy, held in place by surrounding growth. These pose a serious threat to anyone walking below. Topped trees, especially those with poor previous pruning, lose structural integrity and collapse under storm loads. You'll also see bark stripped from trunks where debris impacts…
