Fertilization

 

 

Our fertilization plan is designed to provide the maximum of nutrients and minor elements for your trees. We can fertilize your trees in two basic ways:

Liquid Root Fertilization – We use high pressure soil injection equipment that places water soluble fertilizer and micro-nutrients right where they are needed making them readily available to the root system.

Micro-injection - This technique is used to provide a quick nutrient "shot" when a boost is needed for a severely stressed tree. Micro-injection is also used when no other means to accessing tree toots is available. Micro-injection works like this: small holes are drilled directly into the sapwood (cambium) of the tree approximately six inches apart around the base of the  tree, then a small, pressurized capsule filled with fertilizer (or other materials!) is installed using a specially designed "feeder"  tube. The pressure in the capsule forces the fertilizer into the sap stream and up into the leaves, right where it needs to be!

We don’t just fertilize!
Arborists have known for a long time that forest soils contain very important components that are often missing in urban soils. Rich organic matter and beneficial or organisms have usually been stripped away from the soils around our homes leaving a very challenging environment for our landscape trees and shrubs.

Diehardis a blend of beneficial mycorrhizae fungus and root biostimulant that enhances root absorption of water and nutrients. We can supply your trees with these essential materials in two ways:

1. As an additive to our liquid root fertilization; or
2. As a dry additive to our vertical mulch and soil fracturing systems to provide solid aeration and organic matter.

Our certified arborists will recommend the best treatment for your trees based on their specific needs. Either way your trees will receive a top quality product that will help bring the forest to the city!

Topical sprays are used when they are the best and quickest method of treatment. Whether it is spraying your prized boxwood or your 90-foot oak, we have all the necessary equipment to perform your job safely and efficiently.

Soil drench and/or soil injection is also an effective method of delivering treatment to trees.
