Fertilization for Thriving Trees and Shrubs

Fertilization is an important step in keeping the trees and shrubs in your landscape vibrant and healthy. Because nutrients in the soil can deplete over time regular fertilization is essential for the sustained growth and health of your trees and shrubs.

When you choose our professional fertilization service, you will never have to worry about your trees and shrubs receiving the replenishment they need.

Highly recommend them.

How to Tell When Your Trees and Shrubs Need Fertilization

When trees and shrubs are under stress from lack of nutrition, they will show the following signs:

  • Yellowing leaves
  • Stunted growth, including smaller leaves or flowers
  • Thinned-out foliage
  • Early leaf drop

Regular fertilization strengthens the root systems of your trees and shrubs, leaving them better prepared to survive the elements–such as storms, extreme temperatures and drought–and fend off the impact of disease and insect infestations.

We apply fertilizer in the fall to give your trees and shrubs the nutrients they need to sustain through the dormancy of a long, cold winter. A second application is made in the spring to give the soil a boost as the warmer weather returns and growing season resumes.

Fertilizers and Soil Amendments – Is There a Difference?

The primary purpose of fertilizer is to provide necessary nutrients to your trees and shrubs, contributing to their growth and health. Soil amendments like peat moss and compost add nothing to the soil’s nutrient value. Instead, they can enhance the soil, helping to improve drainage and moisture retention so the tree and shrub roots more easily absorb nutrients.

Surface or Deep-root Fertilization?

Our experts will assess your landscape to determine the best method for the benefit of each of your trees and shrubs.

Surface fertilization is best for younger trees and shrubs due to their shallow roots. We apply it directly to the top level of the soil. It then seeps into the soil, reaching the roots and providing the necessary nutrients.

Deep-root fertilization is used for larger and more mature trees and shrubs. It is injected directly into the soil to reach the deeper, more established roots, working to make these plants more resilient to stressors.

Boost Your Landscape with Regular Fertilization

Regular fertilization will allow your trees and shrubs to continue to reward your landscape with seasonal color, shade, wildlife habitats and curb appeal. Contact us today by clicking the button below to learn more or schedule a free consultation.
