Regular Inspections

Annual or bi-annual inspections with a licensed arborist are crucial to identifying issues early. Whether it is structural weakness, pest infestations, diseases, or other issues that may not be obvious to untrained individuals, professionals can provide timely intervention. This not only prevents minor problems from escalating into major emergencies but also keeps your trees in top shape year-round. Don’t wait until the damage worsens; schedule an inspection to enjoy healthy and durable trees.

Strategic Pruning

Pruning is a crucial tree care practice that involves removing damaged, dying, dead, or overlapping branches. The goal is to improve sunlight penetration and airflow for optimal growth. Additionally, pruning helps maintain the tree’s structural integrity, enhancing resilience against storms and high winds. You do not have to worry about weak branches or entire trees falling due to structural issues. Schedule professional pruning services with a seasoned tree company to maintain sturdy and healthy trees.

Proper Fertilization and Mulching

While tree roots absorb nutrients and water from the soil, sometimes the soil needs fertilizers to replenish diminished nutrients. Use the appropriate slow-release, nutrient-rich fertilizers to support growth. Also, mulching around the base of the tree helps to retain moisture, suppress weeds, and regulate soil temperature. If you are unsure about the right fertilizer for your yard, schedule a soil test to identify deficient nutrients. Healthy trees are more resistant to pests and disease, reducing the risk of emergencies.

Early Warning Signs

Be aware of mushrooms growing at the base of the trunk, thinning leaves, dead branches, peeling bark, and other potential warning signs. A thorough tree risk assessment can help you determine the root cause and the best course of action to prevent deterioration and potential hazards. In the case of severe damage, tree removal may be necessary to avoid emergencies down the line. Fortunately, routine inspections can ensure your trees remain healthy, giving you peace of mind all year round.

Storm Preparation

A tree risk assessment is crucial to identify weak branches and remove them before storms roll in. Besides identifying potential hazards, arborists also implement preventive measures like securing young trees with supports to prevent uprooting during adverse weather. If the branches are overgrown, trimming may be included in your tree care plan, as it minimizes wind resistance. Tree companies also address leaning trees that pose a risk to utility lines and surrounding structures.

Sesmas did a terrific job for us on a project completed today involving the removal of 18 problem trees. Project was completed exactly as promised, skillfully and for a reasonable price. Mike Fowler was excellent in overseeing the work and his crew was outstanding. Highly recommend!

Kathryn Arvidson

These guys were on point. Verified the request before beginning (always good, because the trees aren't coming back!). Then made sure the trimming was done to exactly where I wanted it. On time, fast, and completely cleaned up after - was a great experience. Highly recommend!

Construction Precautions

Before undertaking a construction project, establish tree protection zones with fencing during construction to prevent damage. Heavy equipment can damage roots and trunks, leading to deterioration and premature tree removal. Communicate with the contractors to limit excavation near trees and to avoid root damage. After completing the project, inspect the trees to identify any unnecessary repairs or treatments.

By implementing these preventive measures, you can significantly reduce the risk of tree emergencies, protect your property, and ensure the long-term health of your trees.
