Trees play an essential role in adding curbs to appeal to your landscape. They also keep your home cool during summer, reduce energy bills, provide shade, and increase the value of your property. However, they can bring chaos to your property when not maintained properly. For instance, trees can break and cause damage to your property and family, especially during a storm. Therefore, getting tree service from a reputable tree care company like Sesmas Tree Service can be a practical way to mitigate these threats. Let’s figure out other possible tree maintenance tips you can use to prevent property damage:

Tree Maintenance Tips to Prevent Property Damage

Pruning

If you have a large tree that's starting to get out of hand, pruning is the best way to keep it under control. Take out branches rubbing against your house or another part of the tree, and make sure the trunk isn't splitting or rotting. You'll be surprised at how much this can help your tree look better and stay healthy. If the task may appear challenging, you can secure services from a reputable tree service company for the best results.

Pest Control Treatment

Insects like ants, spiders, and termites often build nests in trees because they offer protection from predators and easy access to food sources such as sap or insects that live in the tree's canopy. To keep these pests out of your yard, treat your trees with insecticides once a year before they become infested by pests or start to attract wildlife such as squirrels who may try to nest in your tree. However, some pests may appear dangerous to handle on your own. Luckily, a tree care company with all-around professionals can help mitigate such pests.

Removing Weak and Dead Trees

Trees that are diseased or dying can pose a danger to your property. If left untreated, dead trees will eventually fall over and crush anything in their path. Dead branches can also cause damage to roofs and other structures as they fall from the tree. The best way to prevent damage from dead or weak trees is by removing them before they pose a threat.

Keep Your Lawn Mowed

Tall grass around the base of trees can provide an ideal hiding spot for rodents such as voles, who love to burrow in tall grasses near trees because it provides cover from predators like owls and hawks. A well-mowed lawn reduces the number of animals living under your tree's canopy, which means less likelihood of them chewing on the bark or roots of young saplings in search of food and nest. Further, this can lead to tree decay and breakage that can be risky to your property.

Frequent Monitoring of Tree Diseases and Damages

The best way to avoid tree problems is to prevent them. Periodic monitoring of trees can help identify any problems early before they become major issues. This includes checking for signs of disease, insect infestations, or other problems that may cause your tree to become hazardous. In addition, regular inspections can help to ensure that your trees are healthy and continue growing well.

If you notice any signs of disease or damage in your trees, contact a tree care company for assistance as soon as possible. The sooner you address the problem, the better chance you can save the tree and prevent further damage to your property.

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.
