Soil Conditioning and Fertilization

Protect your trees and shrubs with adequate soil quality and fertilization

Replacing trees and shrubs can be quite costly, especially if you have to buy new ones more than once! A targeted soil conditioning and fertilization strategy can be especially valuable to nurture young trees to maturity.

The health and quality of soil can vary from place to place. And different trees benefit from specific types of soil.  Not only do the nutrients in the soil need to be correct, but the soil itself also needs to be dense enough to hold water for trees to use. The soil will be the habitat for many organisms that will help your trees to flourish and grow.

Soil Conditioning and Fertilization is a preventative and proactive approach to caring for your trees. Our ISA Certified Arborists have the experience and knowledge to identify and analyze your soil's health as it impacts your trees' health.
