Did you know over 180,000 tree service providers offer stump removal in the U.S.? Therefore, hiring the first company that pops up after a quick online search might not be the best idea. Before signing any paperwork, it is vital to ensure you hire the right person for the job. Stump removal is an invasive and rigorous project, so you need certified arborists to handle the heavy lifting. At Sesmas Tree Service, we leverage innovative equipment and proven strategies to guarantee safe removal. To avoid unintentional property damages or injuries, consider the following factors.

Things to Consider When Choosing a Stump Removal Service

Credentials

Check the credentials for different tree service providers to ensure they abide by the law and for peace of mind. Choose companies that are certified by local authorities and provide employees with insurance. Even if you have homeowners’ insurance, damage caused by an unlicensed or insured tree care company comes out of your pocket. Ask for proof of documentation from prospects and eliminate companies not forthcoming.

Experience

While credentials show commitment to the trade, experience is critical to ensure optimum efficiency and compliance. Our professional arborists have many years of stump removal experience and understand the constantly changing regulations regarding the landscaping practice. In addition, we use proven strategies to enhance efficiency and safety, preventing code violations and property damage. The last thing you want is to incur hefty fines or legal action for violating local codes or wreaking havoc in the neighborhood.

The Right Equipment

As mentioned, stump removal is an invasive project, and inadequate tools may cause more damage in the long run. Even if you have completed minor tree maintenance jobs in the past, you need the expertise and equipment to avoid irreversible property damage or costly repair. You can mitigate such scenarios by hiring a professional tree care company. Our vast catalog of industry-standard equipment guarantees nothing short of excellence in every stump removal project.

A Strong Reputation

Another vital factor to consider when choosing a stump removal service is the company’s reputation. Although experience is an excellent quality, third-party information can help you determine the reputation and quality of customer service. Ask about previous local clients and visit them to assess the quality of the results. Steer clear of companies that have filed complaints with the local authorities.

The Right Price

Many people choose service providers based on prices, which shouldn’t be the case. The cost of service is critical in the final decision, but it does not guarantee quality. Some tree service providers lower their rates to compensate for inexperience, while others hike the prices hoping clients don’t notice. If you have difficulty determining the right price for professional stump removal, narrow your list to only companies offering written quotes and compare.

You don’t have to hire the first local tree care company you see; contact us at Sesmas Tree Service to schedule an appointment with our experts. At competitive rates, we guarantee top-quality tree services, such as planting, maintenance, and removal.

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.
