Trees play a vital role not just in the environment but also in your yard's aesthetic appeal. That's why Sesmas Tree Service is dedicated to helping you maintain a beautiful landscape by providing quality tree service. This involves a range of services such as pruning, watering, fertilizing, and emergency tree removal, among many more. Although these practices are vital for the growth of healthy trees, we take it a notch higher by assessing them for other problems such as diseases. If the damage is extensive and irreversible, the only option is to get rid of it before it becomes a bigger problem.

Evergreen Tree Diseases

Part of the Sesmas Tree Service care plan is to look for signs of infestation and fungus, which are usually the primary cause of tree diseases. Diseases quickly attack deciduous trees, but evergreen trees are also making their way into the list of the most vulnerable. It's vital to schedule regular tree service to identify diseases early and take the necessary action to mitigate further development. Here are some of the typical evergreen tree diseases:

This fungal disease is prevalent in most trees found in yards across the country but extremely common in Colorado blue spruce and Norway. However, these are not the only trees affected by this disease, since hemlocks, larches, Douglas fir, and balsam fir. If you don't know the current state of your trees, the experts at Sesmas Tree Service can help you assess and address any concerns about the health of your lawn.

Some of the telltales of this disease include needle browning and the death of branches in the lower tree side. Cankers are also visible at the tree's trunk and base of the branches, which results in girdling and death. If a tree in your yard is severely affected, Sesmas Tree Service provides top-notch emergency tree removal.

Cedar Rust Disease

Evergreen trees are more susceptible to cedar rust disease than other tree diseases. Once you detect the presence of powdery red or orange spores on leaves, it's time to consult the experts at Sesmas Tree Service for quality tree service. We will take the necessary measures to deter the disease from spreading to other parts of the tree.

There are several types of rust fungus that affect trees differently. Scheduling regular tree service, specifically pruning, goes a long way in mitigating its effects. You should also eliminate the debris at the tree's base and ensure they are correctly disposed of.

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.

Rhizosphaera Needle Cast

Unlike other evergreen tree diseases, this disease is not easy to detect, and that that's where Sesmas Tree Service comes in as the leading tree service company. The disease affects the needles on the lower branches of trees, presenting themselves as small fruiting bodies of the fungus Rhizosphaera. The fruiting bodies release spores deposited on new needles, creating a cycle of infection until the tree becomes overwhelmed and dies.

If you have evergreen trees in your yard, Sesmas Tree Service can help you maintain them by providing top-notch tree service. Contact us today and enjoy unmatched services from a team of experts at an affordable rate.
