Evergreen trees are a fantastic addition to any landscape. They provide year-round beauty, privacy, and structure to your outdoor space. With their lush foliage and ability to thrive in various climates, evergreens are popular among homeowners and landscapers. To plant evergreen trees in your yard, consult a trusted tree care company like Sesmas Tree Service. Here are four suitable evergreen trees for their unique characteristics and benefits to consider planting in your landscape.

Best Evergreen Trees to Plant in Your Landscape

Eastern Red Cedar 

The Eastern Red Cedar is a versatile evergreen tree that thrives in different soils and climates. Its dense, dark green foliage offers an attractive backdrop in any landscape. One standout feature is its berry-like cones, which add visual appeal and provide food for local wildlife. Eastern Red Cedars are suited for creating natural privacy screens and windbreaks, making them an excellent choice for homeowners looking to enhance their privacy and protection from the elements. Before planting the Eastern Red Cedar, work with a trusted tree service to ensure it is ideal for your area. 

Leyland Cypress 

The Leyland Cypress is a fast-growing evergreen tree that has gained traction in landscaping for its rapid growth and graceful appearance. Its feathery, soft-textured foliage forms a lush, dense canopy that reduces noise and enhances privacy. Leyland Cypress trees are used as elegant living fences or windbreaks, but routine inspections by professional arborists are essential. With proper care, they can adapt to various climates and soil types. If you need versatile trees for both urban and rural landscapes, consider Leyland Cypress. However, schedule routine inspections and maintenance with a certified tree care company to achieve the desired shape and size.

Colorado Blue Spruce 

The Colorado Blue Spruce is a stunning evergreen tree that adds a vibrant blue-green color to your landscape. The tree’s distinctive silvery-blue needles and conical shape make it a favorite for those seeking to enhance their curb appeal. While it grows slower than some evergreens, its value is worth the wait. In addition, Colorado Blue Spruce trees are used as specimen trees, focal points in the garden, or as part of mixed evergreen planting. They thrive in well-drained soil and are suited to areas with cold winters. If you have these evergreen species in your yard, hire reputable arborists for regular care. The last thing you want is a dead tree causing costly emergency tree removal services.

Arborvitae 

Arborvitae is a classic choice for creating natural borders and hedges in your landscape. It has dense, dark green foliage that grows upright, providing an elegant and formal appearance. Arborvitae is known for its low maintenance and adaptability to various soil conditions, so you don’t have to worry about frequent tree service calls. These trees are excellent for adding structure and visual appeal to your garden. However, regular pruning can help maintain the desired shape and height.

Evergreen trees are a valuable asset to your landscape, offering yearly beauty, privacy, and structure. Whether creating a natural barrier, enhancing your property’s aesthetics, or enjoying the benefits of evergreen foliage, there’s an ideal evergreen tree for your landscape. Contact the Sesmas Tree Service and schedule a consultation with our arborists in Snellville, GA. When selecting the right evergreen tree for your property, we leverage extensive expertise to assess your specific landscape needs and local climate conditions. Proper care and maintenance enhance the beauty and functionality of your outdoor spaces, mitigating the costs and hazards associated with premature tree removal projects.

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.
