Trees play a vital role in our environment, and it is our responsibility to ensure they get the proper care and maintenance. Failure to provide the needed care can result in significant tree damage, which is not suitable for the environment or your lawn. To avoid situations that can cost you a lot of money, it is vital to onboard a tree care company. At Sesmas Tree Service, we have an experienced team that can help you maintain healthy and durable trees that enhance the value of your property and environment.

Most property and homeowners always wonder which is the ideal season to prune their trees. With years of providing top-notch tree service, we discovered dormant pruning ideal for most trees. Dormant pruning involves routine pruning of the trees in your property during the late fall or winter months when your trees are not actively growing. The experts at Sesmas Tree Service can help you establish a pruning schedule based on vital factors like; size, age, type, and overall health.

The certified and experienced arborists of Sesmas Tree Service have extensive industry knowledge and experience, guaranteeing top-notch tree service that ensures you maintain strong, healthy trees throughout dormancy. Here are some of the reasons why you should consider scheduling an appointment to prune your vegetation during winter.

Increase Visibility

A pruned lawn is not only appealing to see but enhances the aesthetics of your property during winter when things are less lush. We recommend pruning during the dormant winter months because it allows us to clear any weak and dense crossed branches, alleviating any potential hazards. Pruning is an essential tree maintenance service during winter, especially with limited sunlight. We can ensure that sunlight reaches all the vegetation in your yard for a healthy landscape.

Limit the Possibility of Pests

Pests are usually more active during spring and less invasive during winter. Most pest species are dormant during winter, reducing your trees’ susceptibility to an attack. Dormant pruning lowers the risk of a pest invasion since the wounds make them vulnerable to potential infestations when the insects are active. If you detect the signs of pests in your trees, Sesmas Tree Service can help you mitigate the damage early before it gets out of hand.

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.

Pruning wounds result in significant sap loss during active seasons, stressing their ability to heal and grow. However, this is not the case during winter, when the trees are dormant, which gives them more time to recuperate. All the energy preserved during the dormant season can be used to grow healthy foliage and limbs instead of healing pruning wounds and fending off pests. While most homeowners opt to handle tree maintenance alone, you risk significant tree damage if you don’t have the skills, experience, and equipment.

These are some of the reasons why you should consider dormant pruning for trees in your yard. Contact us today at Sesmas Tree Service, and enjoy quality tree service from a reputable and reliable tree care company in Snellville.
