When you see a big healthy tree, you can't imagine it was once a tiny seed. Understanding the life cycle of a tree goes a long way in ensuring you maintain a healthy and safe lawn, not to mention enhancing your home's value and appeal. Sesmas Tree Service is your go-to tree care company to protect your trees from destructive agents and ensure they are in tiptop condition. Onboarding our experts for tree service allows you to access vital information for tree care. Let us take a look at the different stages in the life cycle of a tree.

The Life Cycle of a Tree

Sprouting (Germination)

A seed needs to be planted in a fertile and safe place to germinate and increase survival chances. Once the seed is safely tucked in the soil, the primary root is the first to break through, providing sufficient stability and water needed for growth and development. This process paves the way for germination, where the shoot starts to emerge from below or above the shoot leaf. Ensuring that the developing seed is safe by providing the necessary care to grow. Sesmas Tree Service recommends onboarding a tree service expert at the beginning of the project to ensure everything kicks off the right way.

Seedlings

Once the tip of the shoot emerges above the soil, it is no longer referred to as a shoot but a seedling. This stage is considered the most fragile since it is more susceptible to damage and diseases. A professional tree care company can help you protect your tree seedlings and ensure they are in tiptop condition. The experts at Sesmas Tree Service can assess your tree seedlings for potential infestations or diseases and recommend the ideal solution.

Sapling

Most people confuse a sapling with a mature tree, but several differences between the two can help you provide better care. These differences include flexible trunks in saplings, which is not the case for mature trees. Depending on the type of trees you have in your yard, the duration it takes to transition from sapling to a mature tree varies. A tree service provider can help you provide the necessary care needed to maintain a healthy sapling regardless of the duration.

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.

Mature Tree

Once you notice that it's flowering and producing fruits, it is an indication that it's entering the next stage in its development. Although a mature tree can grow without care, it is important to schedule regular maintenance with a reliable and reputable tree care company. This will prevent any potential damage from becoming more severe and prevent pest infestation, diseases, and tree death.

Trees need professional care and maintenance to prevent them from becoming safety hazards or deteriorating the value and appeal of your home. If you are looking to improve the quality of your lawn, contact us at Sesmas Tree Service and schedule an appointment with our tree service experts. We guarantee nothing but exceptional tree care at a cost-effective price.
