Questions About Our Tree & Shrub Insect Control Services?
Keeping your trees and shrubs properly fertilized is essential for their long-term health and vitality. Below, we've answered some of the most common questions homeowners have about our professional tree and shrub fertilization services.
Trees and shrubs, like all plants, require essential nutrients to grow strong and resist disease. Over time, soil can become depleted of nutrients due to competition from grass, environmental stress, and poor soil conditions. Fertilization replenishes these nutrients, promoting deep roots, vibrant foliage, and overall plant health.
We recommend fertilizing trees and shrubs twice a year:
- Spring Fertilization – Provides nutrients for new growth and recovery from winter stress.
- Fall Fertilization – Strengthens roots and prepares plants for winter dormancy.
Deep-root fertilization is a method that injects liquid fertilizer directly into the soil around your tree’s root zone. This technique allows the roots to absorb nutrients efficiently, bypassing surface competition from grass and weeds.
Yes! A well-nourished tree or shrub is naturally more resistant to fungal infections, pest infestations, and environmental stress. Proper fertilization strengthens the plant’s immune system, reducing the likelihood of diseases like leaf spot, root rot, and powdery mildew.
No, fertilization itself does not attract pests. In fact, healthy, well-fed trees and shrubs are better equipped to resist insect infestations. We also offer preventative pest control treatments as part of our comprehensive tree and shrub care program.
For newly planted trees and shrubs, fertilization should be applied in moderation to encourage root establishment rather than excessive top growth. We tailor our treatments to provide the best nutrients for young plants without overwhelming them.
Our fertilization treatments are carefully formulated to promote healthy, balanced growth. Too much nitrogen at the wrong time can lead to weak, excessive growth, but our deep-root fertilization ensures that nutrients are absorbed gradually and effectively.
While DIY fertilizers are available, they often lack the precise nutrient balance and deep-root delivery needed for optimal absorption. Our professional fertilization service ensures your plants get the right nutrients in the correct amounts at the right time.
