A dying or dead tree in your garden or property poses serious risks if left unattended. Over time, dead trees become structurally compromised and topple easily when you least expect them. The last thing you want is a large branch or even the entire tree falling without warning, causing serious injuries and property damage. Look for signs of deterioration, such as excessive shedding, brittle branches, peeling bark, and a lack of new growth. If you detect any of these signs, call a professional tree service provider to assess and remove it before it causes devastating scenarios.

5 Signs Your Tree May Need Professional Removal

Structural Damage

Adverse weather conditions, such as high winds or storms, can cause significant property damage, impacting the overall stability of trees. Large crevices on major branches or the trunk not only weaken the tree but also make it vulnerable to collapse. With this in mind, hiring a local tree company in Georgia to regularly inspect your green spaces, especially after harsh weather, you can catch issues early before they get out of hand. In the case of extensive damage, it might be safer to opt for a full tree removal to avoid injuries or damage later on.

Infection or Disease

While some diseases can be treated when diagnosed early, others are fatal and may spread to healthier trees in your yard. Diseases such as Dutch elm or ash dieback can spread quickly, killing the infected tree and also threatening nearby healthy ones. If you notice discolored foliage, fungal growth, rotting wood, or sudden thinning of the canopy, act quickly to prevent the disease from taking over your backyard. A professional arborist can assess the extent of the damage and recommend the best course of action for long-term protection. This may involve comprehensive removal services, including stump grinding and cleanup.

Safety Hazard

Did you know that even healthy trees may still pose a risk due to location or size? A tree that grows too close to your home, utility lines, or public walkways may not raise concerns at first, but it can endanger property and passersby. Additionally, trees with imbalanced or overgrown crowns can become top-heavy and more prone to wind damage. Sometimes, strategic tree trimming can help mitigate such situations. If this is not feasible, then a complete tree removal may be necessary. Consult a licensed arborist and schedule an evaluation to determine the most effective solution in the long run.

Tree removal is a dangerous landscaping task that requires specialized equipment and expertise to execute safely. This means that working with certified arborists is essential to ensure the job is done right the first time. At Sesmas Tree Service, we provide expert tree removal services that prioritize environmental responsibility and safety. Contact us today to schedule a consultation with our experts to maintain a safe yard and healthy trees for years to come.

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.
