Are you looking for ways to revitalize your landscape designs, but you do not have the space for more trees? Then consider planting shrubs. Not only do they help maximize your outdoor space, but they also offer many benefits that a lot of property owners are unaware of. At Sesmas Tree Service, we provide high quality services including tree risk assessment, tree planting, trimming, pruning, tree removal, insect and pest control, disease management and more. Our specialists enjoy helping our Atlanta, Georgia area customers improve the beauty and wellbeing of their favorite landscaping features, and we want to help you achieve the same great results. Here are just a few of the reasons why homeowners should consider planting shrubs in their yard.

Why You Should Consider Planting a Shrub in Your Yard

Indoor Temperature Regulation and Increased Energy Efficiency

Planting shrubs near your exterior walls can help to regulate the temperature inside your home or commercial building. They can shade windows and block direct sunlight, which will reduce the amount of heat that your property is exposed to in the warm summer months. In addition, shrubs can help to stabilize temperatures in the wintertime, when temperatures drop below freezing. The result is improved energy efficiency and long-term savings on your monthly utility bills.

Improved Curb Appeal

Shrubs offer a lot of beauty in a small package. Planting the right varieties of shrubs can drastically increase your curb appeal and property value, with minimal financial investment. You can choose a few drought-tolerant evergreen shrubs that can be pruned into interesting shapes. If you are looking for bursts of color in the springtime, you can opt for Lilacs or Azaleas.

Enhanced Air Quality

Urban pollution is becoming more of a problem as the population of major cities and their surrounding communities continue to swell. Shrubs can help to reduce the amount of carbon dioxide in the environment around your home, while also providing additional sources of oxygen. Planting trees and shrubs in your yard can help to filter the air and will provide a more comfortable place for friends and family to enjoy themselves.

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.

Soil Stability

Erosion can be extremely detrimental for the health of your soil. Runoff from heavy rains can quickly deplete the nutrients that your plants are dependent on for survival. The strong roots of shrubs can create more stability in the soil structure, which helps to reduce erosion over time.
