"I wanted a lot of landscaping done on a strict budget. I wanted a large planter in the front yard and the entire back yard landscaped with drought tolerant colorful plants and flowers with areas of gravel, grass, and low maintenance and water use. I also wanted a brick path from the patio to a shed with bricks that I already had, and a path from the side gate to driveway with concrete pavers that I also had and wanted to reuse. Kerry listened to what I wanted, made great suggestions, and was very professional and easy to work with. He and Wes were dependable, had a great work ethic, and now I will have beautiful low maintenance yards with colorful flowers and soon will finally have grass in the back (just planted today). He really worked hard to do all of this work on my tight budget. I would definitely use KJ Trees again and recommend them to others!"

Arborists questions, answered by experts

According to scientists at Penn State University, spotted lanternflies do not typically kill the trees and plants they feed on, but they can cause branches and segments to die off. However, they have been found to kill cultivated grapes, which can have devastating consequences for vineyard owners and regions that heavily rely on vineyards to create jobs and generate revenue. They have also killed the Ailanthu altissima, known as the tree of heaven, though this is classified as a noxious and invasive weed tree.

Pruning is an effective way to prevent a diseased branch from infecting the rest of the tree. If the infection isn’t caught early enough and the pathogen has spread to the trunk or the majority of the branches though, it is too late to prune off the affected areas and you’ll likely need to remove the tree.

If you’re planning on keeping the tree, unless the roots are invasive, there’s no need to remove them, as doing so can cause damage to the tree. If the tree has been cut down and the stump and roots are left, grinding and removing the stump can cause root decay for some species. For other species, the stump and roots will need to be removed to prevent pests, disease, and possible tree regrowth.

Yes, you should trim the lower branches of your maple tree for safety. Trimming maple trees as they grow helps lift the crown and canopy and trains it to grow straight up. A good rule of thumb is to prune enough branches to leave 6 feet of clearance under the tree.

Yes, it’s possible to overwater a newly-planted tree. Daily watering is great for the first few weeks, but it’s important not to go overboard. Excessive watering can lead to various problems, including root rot, fungal diseases, and a lack of root development.
