Why Do Your Trees Need Deep Root Fertilization?

In urban areas, there can be a lack of natural sources of nutrients.

In urban areas, there can be a lack of natural sources of nutrients. Growing healthy trees in urban soil conditions can be a real challenge. Whenever you clean up leaves, grass clippings or branches, their contributions to the soil are also removed. Of course, you wouldn’t want a messy yard, as it can invite pests and other hazards and be an eyesore.

This is why fertilizing trees from the root system can work wonders. You provide your trees and shrubs with enough essential nutrients and protect them from insects and diseases. At the same time, you can maintain your backyard’s beauty and cleanliness.

Deep Root Fertilization In Action

Fertilizing the roots of a young tree may be as simple as putting the right mixture beneath the soil. However, giving more mature trees the nutrients they need requires a little bit more effort.

Our deep-root fertilization process involves injecting a soil needle into the surrounding areas of the tree roots. We will then release a mixture of water and fertilizer at high pressure, spreading it within the root zone.

This way, the fertilizer reaches the deepest roots of the tree. It also reduces the risk of compacted soil that can suffocate tree roots.

How Often Should You Fertilize Trees?

For the best results, we recommend professional tree fertilization twice a year. Ideally, the trees get their soil injections in the middle of Spring and during the Fall.

Providing deep root fertilizer in the Spring can boost tree growth for the coming Summer when they’re most productive. In the Fall, the tree fertilizer helps your greenery store enough nutrients for winter.

The Benefits Of Deep Root Fertilization

Here are some of the reasons why Deep Root Fertilization should be part of your tree healthcare checklist:

  • Deep Root Fertilizers can increase the tree’s growth rate, especially when starting from a young age.
  • Fertilizers can improve the flowering and colour of foliage, resulting in more beautiful trees and shrubs.
  • Fertilizers can fortify the tree’s immunity to pests and tree diseases.
  • A boosted root growth strengthens the tree’s defences against Southern Ontario’s harsh weather conditions and other damage.
  • The use of a soil probe reduces soil compaction and promotes soil aeration.
  • Deep Root Fertilization also helps balance the alkalinity of the soil, promoting the good health of your trees and shrubs.
  • Aiming straight for the tree’s roots, Deep Root Fertilization provides a quick and efficient method of delivering the fertilizer’s benefits to a tree.

Excellent service from booking an appointment for a consultation, providing a quote, scheduling the job as quickly as possible, professional and respectful crew, all the way to the final clean-up. Heritage got the got the job done safely and beautifully. Very impressed with the team sent to my home - not only did they instill confidence but they seemed to really love what they do.

Heritage Tree Care was called to prune our neighbour's tree that overhung our backyard. They arrived promptly and notified us when they were starting the work, at which point I asked them about an additional branch that was outside their original scope of work. We offered to cover any additional costs, but they reviewed the work and took care of the additional branch no problem. They were fast, neat, and cleaned up extremely well once they were done.

Overall, I was very impressed with the professionalism, knowledge, and communication of this company. 🙏🏾 In a world where it feels like no one cares about excellence anymore, the pride and attention to detail displayed by the team was noticed and appreciated. 🏆 From obtaining the quote, to getting the work done, the team made it easy to get my job done, and explained in granular detail why they made the recommendations they did. ✅ They were also very patient with answering all my questions, including questions about how they ensure that squirrels and birds are not harmed or evicted in the course of their work. 🐿️🐦‍⬛🪺 Overall, the experience was hassle free and edifying— I learned more about my backyard flora in the process — and the pricing made sense. 💫 I have already passed along their contact info to my neighbour! ✨
