That’s where Sesmas Tree Service comes in as the go-to tree care company for quality branch support systems.

If you suspect issues with your trees, don’t wait for the damage to worsen; call a professional to inspect, diagnose, and address the issue quickly.

Common Structural Deficiencies

Trained tree service providers in Atlanta have experience dealing with structural deficiencies, especially in damaged or older trees. The most significant risk factors for structural issues are codominant stems. Also known as v-crotches, codominant stems create weak points in your tree’s connective tissue. This usually starts at small angles that widen over time, causing damage or tree removal in severe cases.

Another common cause of structural issues in trees is over extended limbs. This can cause heavier branches towards the end and breakages. If your trees have longer limbs stretching towards property or other trees, consult certified arborists to determine the best course of action. Professionals use specialized equipment to prune or support overextended branches, mitigating more severe structural problems.

Lastly, anchored trees can experience structural deficiencies when roots don’t grow deep enough. In such cases, support systems can help to ensure stability and proper growth. It is advisable to work with a reputable tree care company to ensure a seamless installation process without harming the tree.

Understanding Tree Branch Support Systems

Tree support systems incorporate bracing and cabling designs to ensure the tree remains standing. Tree service professionals customize the design based on the tree’s needs, providing the needed support to promote growth and health. Here are several types of support systems you should know.

Tree Bracing

Bracing systems are popular in areas with high winds and adverse weather. They are rigid, static systems to ensure ongoing support even after the tree grows properly. Arborists usually install threaded steel rods in the affected area, providing stability without causing physical damage.

Cabling Systems

Unlike tree bracing, arborists install high-strength support systems to support overextended limbs and weak trunks. Before you choose a tree support system, let’s look at the two types of cabling systems to inform your decision.

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.

Static Cabling Systems

This is a cabling system is made of steel components. The tree care company will drill into the wood during installation, often integrating bracing systems for better support.

Dynamic Cabling Systems

Dynamic cabling is a less-invasive approach that doesn’t require a drill. This allows the tree to maintain its original form, while benefiting from the additional support. In addition, branches can keep their natural movement, promoting growth without restriction.

Consult Tree Service Professionals

Now that you know the different support systems, consult a professional tree service provider to ensure proper installation and maintenance. While structural issues might not be a cause for concern initially, delaying professional intervention can lead to severe deterioration and premature tree removal. Contact us at the Sesmas Tree Service and schedule an appointment with professionals to keep your trees strong and healthy.
