Trees are lviing organisms and require nutrients to grow and survive. Urban trees often do not get the sufficient nutrients they require unlike forest trees that receive nutrients from the forest floors.

 

In most urban areas the soils are compacted.  This condition decreases nutrient uptake. We use organic soil treatments to increase nutrients in the soil helping your tree's health.

 

We have many different programs that include organic materials to lab generated products, depending on the condition of your trees and landscape, our Arborist will recommend that best course of action for your property.

 


Our plant health care technician has a variety of different techniques

(micro, macro, sub-soil, spraying) to properly apply treatments.


BENEFITS OF FERTILIZATION

In order for fertilization to be beneficial to trees and plants, proper application and products should be applied. Improper fertilization will not benefit your plants.

 

  • Increase essential nutrients for growth and health

 

  • Increase root growth

 

  • Increase leaf growth

 

  • Soil condition improvement/ amendments

 

  • Greener and healthier trees and plants


SOIL AND COMPACTION TREATMENTS

Soil in urban areas are compacted mainly due to construction or high traffic. The soils below the surface is more dense, it can create problems for root growth, and not allow enough water absorption for trees and plants.

 

We use high velocity air tools and techniques to properly aerate the area and surrounding the tree to loosen the soil and increase the tree's chance for survival and growth.
