Graf Tree Care

Susan & Scott St. Pierre

This is one of our very best clients of all. Phil began working with Susan back in the summer of 2000 - one of his first clients. Over the years we have followed them to their new home in Wayne. After removing lots of Buckthorn and manicuring the good trees on this site, we have brought out the best in this stellar property. And when we were done with the trees, we added our heralded Moonscape Lighting, and this was the finishing touch. "The down lighting from the towering Elm trees have the grounds lit from above, creating some awesome moonlit shadowy effects," says Mark Graf of Moonscape Landscape Illumination our sister company. "We also highlighted all the low growing ornamentals around the home with uplights, and it turned our just perfect."

EAB Update

Many of you have been wondering if we will need to treat your Ash trees earlier this year. As soon as the Ash trees fully leaf out, and uptake is strong, we will be out treating trees. As usual we can't wait for leaf out to unveil some tremendous success stories with your Ash trees.

PHC Alerts

Keep in mind that Pine and Spruce trees, and all evergreens are under tremendous stress to begin this year.  These trees desiccate year round, and with warm temperatures, abundant sunshine, and low soil moisture, we believe these trees are under stress already. Root feeding and proper watering will be more important than ever this season.
Fungicides are now complete on Crab Apples and Hawthorns, as well as the first insecticide spray for Pine Moth.  In the coming weeks, we will be spraying fungicides on Pine and Spruce for fungal diseases such as Diplodia Tip Blight and Rhizospheara Needle Cast.
