Subsurface Fertilization
Fertilization treatments promote the health of your trees and shrubs. Nutrients and soil amendments are injected directly into the plant’s root zone. Some of the nutrients are utilized immediately. However, the bulk of the fertilizer remains in the root zone for future use, providing for a stable over-wintering and full spring development. In addition to basic fertilizer (N-P-K or nitrogen, phosphorous and potassium), your arborist may recommend a custom blend of organic additives and soil amendments.
In addition to replenishing the soil with necessary nutrients and soil additives for continued growth and vigor, fertilization treatments provide these significant plant health care benefits:
Healthier appearance, growth and flowering
- Soil aeration
- Relief from sources of urban stress (salts, construction damage, “hardscapes”)
- Aids in recovery of declining mature trees
- Repair of damage from drought stress
