How Will Fertilization Help Your Trees?
Improved Growth
Fertilizing trees promotes healthy plant growth by providing them with the vital nutrients they need to grow strong and thrive, including Nitrogen, Potassium, and many others. The nutrients present in fertilizer benefit both top growth and root growth, allowing trees to expand their canopies and enhance root stability.
For example, Nitrogen can increase the creation of fine roots, which are responsible for helping plants uptake other nutrients and water. Therefore, introducing more Nitrogen into the soil can potentially improve the rate at which trees obtain their essential nutrients.
By providing nutrients that may not naturally occur in the soil, Tree and Shrub Fertilization Services help trees avoid stunted growth and live up to their full potential. In other words, a flowering Eastern White Redbud will look more vivid, the leaves of a Princeton Elm will provide more shade, and privacy trees like the Serbian Spruce will be much more effective at creating seclusion.

The Fertilizers We Use
Sea 3™ Organic Fertilizer
Sea 3™ is a potent liquid organic fertilizer formulated with nutrient-rich sources from the sea, including fish meal, kelp meal, and sea water extracts. This unique blend is designed to boost plant health by delivering essential nutrients along with carbon sources that keep nutrients available in the soil for longer, enhancing uptake by the roots. Its composition also fosters a thriving microbial environment in the soil, which helps release additional nutrients. Sea 3™’s comprehensive mix of minerals, trace elements, and natural growth hormones helps plants build resilience to environmental stressors, promoting robust growth and vitality across the landscape.
Immuniphite Plus
Immuniphite Plus is formulated to strengthen plants’ resistance to stress and improve overall health, particularly under challenging growing conditions. This bio-stimulant provides essential nutrients that support root development and boost the plant’s immune response. With carefully selected ingredients, Immuniphite Plus encourages healthier foliage, stronger root systems, and improved resilience, making it an ideal choice for maintaining lush, thriving landscapes. It’s specifically engineered to aid in both growth and stress management, giving plants an extra edge in harsh environments.
Healing Injuries
When trees sustain injuries — whether from broken branches, pest infestations, or human activity — they can experience stress that affects their health. Fertilizing trees helps heal these injuries by supplying them with vital nutrients that aid in tissue repair and regeneration. Proper nutrients in the soil promote strong root growth and recovery, helping trees restore themselves faster.
For damaged trees, fertilizer can help encourage healthier soil conditions and allow the root zone to deliver a steady flow of nutrients needed for the tree’s health. As such, property owners can use Fertilization Services to help injured trees recover and make their landscaping even more robust and beautiful.
Preventing Diseases
Fertilizer doesn’t just help trees recover from health problems — it can help prevent them. Tree Fertilization Services help strengthen a tree’s natural defenses against disease by promoting healthier root growth and making them more resilient than they were before.
Nutrient deficiencies can make trees susceptible to various fungal infections and other diseases, especially when trees grow in soil with poor soil health. A holistic approach to soil amendment and shrub care may also help prevent soil-borne diseases and support healthy trees across the landscape.
Addressing Nutrient Problems
Many trees and shrubs suffer from soil conditions that don’t naturally meet their specific needs, resulting in nutrient deficiencies that impair growth and continued health. Young trees, trees planted in urban areas, and those growing in poor conditions often need extra nutrients to thrive.
Fertilizing trees helps correct nutrient deficiencies by adding essential nutrients directly into the soil, which is then absorbed by the roots. As such, many trees benefit from custom-formulated fertilizers that address their existing soil conditions and the unique needs of their species.
Why Fertilize Your Trees and Shrubs?
In today’s environment, trees and shrubs are exposed to numerous stressors—ranging from soil compaction and pollution to unpredictable weather patterns. These challenges can limit access to the nutrients that trees need for healthy growth. Regular fertilization provides essential nutrients that support growth, enhance resilience, and improve the overall health of trees and shrubs. When trees and shrubs are nourished with a well-balanced feeding, they can develop stronger roots, increased disease resistance, and vibrant foliage.
The Benefits of Consistent Fertilization
Fertilization is key to maintaining the vitality of your landscape. Healthy, well-fed trees and shrubs are better equipped to withstand environmental pressures, such as drought, pest infestations, and harsh winters. Our fertilization services provide your trees with essential nutrients tailored to their needs, ensuring they grow strong and stay resilient against these challenges.
