Tree stump removal is a complex and invasive process that can cause significant yard damage. While a stump may not be a major cause for concern, letting it decompose attracts pests and insects to your property. At Sesmas Tree Service, we use industry-standard equipment and techniques to help you get rid of the eyesore.

Why is Tree Stump Removal Necessary?

As a homeowner, it is common to attempt various yard projects, but stump removal shouldn’t be one of them. We recommend hiring a professional tree care company to handle the heavy lifting, preventing safety risks and property damage often associated with DIY projects. Here’s why tree stump removal is necessary.

Safety

Tree stumps can be buried deep beneath the surface or in long grass, making them hazardous to you and your loved ones. The last thing you want is to trip or fall in your backyard accidentally, hence the need to schedule stump removal with a reputable tree service. A lush, well-maintained lawn minimizes safety risks, improving the overall quality of your property.

Aesthetic Value

As mentioned, tree stumps are an eyesore that compromise curb appeal and property beauty. If you have plans to sell your home in the future, schedule routine maintenance inspections with a tree care company to maximize your return on investment (ROI). We leverage extensive industry knowledge to help our clients make their properties more attractive and safe.

Avoid Pests

Leaving the stump to decompose is a cost-effective and non-invasive alternative if a tree is cut in your yard. However, it creates the best breeding ground for pests like termites and ants. Some nasty critters can attack nearby healthy trees, leading to deterioration and eventually death. You can prevent such issues by removing tree stumps before unwanted pests invade your premises.

Prevent Disease and Decay

The remaining stump and root system can be affected when a diseased tree is cut. If you don’t act, the infection can spread to healthy trees, affecting the entire yard. Hiring a tree care company for routine inspections is the most effective way to protect your property. We assess, detect, diagnose, and address signs of disease and decay before the damage becomes more pronounced. Severe damage calls for tree stump removal, and we have the tools and skills to do the job efficiently and safely.

Avoid Root Damage

Trees are a valuable addition to any landscape. Still, roots can cause significant property damage—crowding trees in a narrow space limits root growth, increasing the risk of damage to driveways, pathways, and other hard surfaces around your home. Getting rid of stumps creates space and reduces the risk of root damage.

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.
