LED: A Revolution in Landscape Lighting! Tall Grass Ct, St. Charles

Recently, our sister company, Moonscape Landscape Illumination installed an LED Moonlighting system on Tall Grass Ct in St. Charles. With a newly installed outdoor living room, our client was looking for something different, something other than the standard uplighting that is seen throughout the area. Using a subtle, soft Moonlight to illuminate specific focal points, we placed our fixtures high above in the treetops, with the shadows cascading onto the grounds below.

These trees are American Elm trees, and this particular property has lost a few trees already to Dutch Elm Disease.  The need exists to preserve these trees now more than ever, because without these trees, downlighting from above would not be possible. Graf Tree Care first fertilized these trees to keep them in best possible health and next spring we’ll be treating them with systemic fungicide injections to fend off Dutch Elm disease.

A romantic feel was created by beautiful shadows and patterns through the branches and leaves of the tree. The elegant Moonlight shines down onto their backyard backdrop. Our new clients were amazed at the artistic beauty that Moonscape Landscape Illumination brought to their new addition.

Be Unique and imagine the unlocked views of your property after dusk with illuminating from above with Moonlight!

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.
