Tall trees play a vital role on your property, from aesthetics and privacy to shade and wind protection. Tall trees are an excellent way to improve property value if you plan to put your home on the market. However, having trees requires a great deal of maintenance, and that's where we come in as your go-to tree care company. At Sesmas Tree Service, we believe that the larger the trees, the more demanding the care will be. Whether you want to prune branches or cut away dead wood on a tall tree, you risk injuring yourself because of the climbing. While most landscaping activities can be turned into DIY projects, trimming tall trees should be left to a professional tree service provider.

The Dangers of Climbing Tall a Tree

Accessing the branches of a tall tree without the proper training and equipment can be pretty dangerous. It is more than just laying a ladder and going straight up. Our tree service providers leverage industry-standard tools and equipment and extensive industry knowledge to ensure the job gets done with the utmost professionalism and regards for safety. Some of the professional tools used include a chainsaw, pruning shears, and many more.

Reaching the top of the tree is only the beginning since you'll be required to find a secure position to prevent the risk of falling. The next step is making careful cuts to avoid severe damage to the tree and ensure that falling branches don't injure anyone or damage surrounding structures. A tree care company has a team of professionals who are well-trained and equipped to handle this multi-step process without compromising the well-being of your trees.

Safely Climbing a Tall Tree

Most tree service professionals use climbing gaffs and spurs to access the top quickly. Climbing gaffs are metal spikes attached to a tree care expert's leg, making it easy to climb up and down easily. If there's a tree you want to cut down, climbing gaffs are an excellent choice. However, spurs are not recommended if you only want to trim overgrown or damaged branches because they leave open wounds on the bark that lead to death in specific areas.

The cuts left behind by climbing gaffs also create an opening for diseases and harmful insects to attack the tree, leading to sickness and even tree death. A perfectly healthy tree is not the only thing at risk, and users are advised to ensure they are stable to prevent falling. If you look forward to trimming a long tree in your backyard but lack the expertise and tools required, you should hire a professional to ensure the job is done correctly and safely.

Choose a Professional Tree Service Provider

A common mistake most property owners make is searching the internet for a tree care company, which doesn't guarantee professionalism or experience. If the prices offered are too good to be true, chances are the tree service lacks proper certification or is inexperienced. Contact us at Sesmas Tree Service and schedule a consultation with our representative. We aim to help you alleviate any guesswork from the process and get the job done efficiently and effectively.

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.
