Trees are a vital part of the environment and play a crucial role in enhancing the appeal of your lawn. Most people looking to bring their landscape together by planting trees fail to consider the time factor, which is crucial, especially when planting various trees. If you have tried to plant trees but end up with shriveled tree seedlings, hiring a professional tree care company might be time. At Sesmas Tree Service, we have an experienced and qualified team of professionals ready to help you with quality tree service and pertinent information for a successful tree planting project. Here are some important factors to consider when you want to plant a tree.

When is the Best Time of Year to Plant Trees?

Plant Evergreen Trees in the Spring

It is important to research the type of tree you intend to plant to ensure you get the timing right and maximize the chances of healthy growth. The ideal time to plant evergreen trees is in the Spring, when the temperatures are moderate, giving the tree a chance to get established. Spring also comes with some rain, providing the developing roots with sufficient water needed for growth. Planting evergreen trees outside the spring season lowers the chances of survival, but reaching out to a professional tree service for more information and maintenance can help provide it with the care it needs.

Plant Maple Trees in the Fall

Maple trees are common in most homes and add to the aesthetic value of the property and landscape. Maple trees prefer partial shade and well-drained soil to grow appropriately. Planting maple trees in fall ensures that the tree is safely in the ground before it starts to freeze and maximizes the shade present during this time.

If you want to plant maple trees another time apart from fall, it is advisable to consult a professional tree care company. Since Spring is the only time ideal for tree planting, scheduling regular maintenance with a professional tree company helps you maintain a healthy tree despite the climatic and soil conditions.

Plant Fruit Trees in the Spring

Fruit trees are a welcomed addition to the landscape of most homes because of their beauty and delicious fruits. If you intend to plant a fruit tree in your home, then Spring is the ideal time. The goal is to get the tree in the ground during the early months of Spring or late winter as long as the ground is not frozen. Trees that bloom relatively quickly, like blueberry and raspberry, do better when planted late into Spring.

Fruit trees require a lot of sunlight and sufficient water, available during Spring. It also ensures they get nutrients to grow and thrive, ensuring you maintain healthy trees. A tree care company can help you maintain your trees throughout the year, alleviating any concerns about stunted growth and drying.

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.
