At Sesmas Tree Service, we have devoted ourselves to servicing and caring for trees from their inception to their death. We appreciate trees for all of what they offer our species and the ecosystem. This is why we prefer to exhaust every option before resorting to removing a tree, especially if the tree is perfectly healthy. Still, we know that a tree removal is sometimes necessary. Many property owners who have a small lot choose to remove a tree or trees on their property to make room for other projects or plants. These jobs are especially tricky, but Sesmas Tree Service is up for the challenge.

If you live in an urban area, then you likely have utility lines running over and through your property. In fact, it might be for this reason that you want the tree or trees removed. In any case, the removal process should be meticulously performed to avoid damaging utility lines. Snapped electrical wires can be fatal and expose you to costly legal liabilities.

There is also the risk of branches and tree limbs falling on your roof, vehicles, or pedestrians. These limbs should not be allowed to fall. Rather, they should be cut and guided down safely.

Finally, there are the tree roots. If you want to truly free up your yard without delay, then you have got to remove the stump as well. However, you have got to be careful not to damage pipes and underground utility lines.

About Our Process

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.

Ed Martin

A tree removal is a dangerous job and should be left to professional arborists and tree service providers who have the necessary gear, tools, and equipment. A tree removal is dangerous in itself, but when the tree is a confined, small space, then the job is that much riskier. We won’t get into the nitty gritty details, but here is how we approach a tree removal in a small space.

We evaluate the property, taking note of vulnerable structures and infrastructure. We want to plan the best route for getting to and removing the tree from the property. Next, we bring in our bucket truck to a safe distance.

Once the bucket truck is situated, we raise a crew member to where they can reach the first part of the tree to be removed. The tree surgeon will methodically remove pieces of the tree one at a time, tying large pieces with rope so that they can be safely lowered to the ground.

After the tree surgeon has removed the canopy and higher branches, he/she will move down the trunk of the tree. All of the pieces will be loaded into our trailer and hauled off of your property. We can even grind or remove the stump if you wish.
