Essential Tree Fertilization Services
If you want your new trees to live up to their full potential and get the most from your investment, proper fertilization is essential. We offer professional tree care to keep your brand new and existing trees healthy and strong, including tree fertilization. As with your lawn and plants, there is no one size fits all approach for tree fertilization.
Our highly qualified and experienced crew knows the unique nutritional requirements that various types of trees need to thrive. We can evaluate your trees and their overall health to determine the type, amount, and frequency that tree fertilization is needed to optimize growth.
Understanding Deep Root Fertilization
Deep root fertilization provides nutrition by injecting the soil with fertilizer. The high-pressure injection process helps ensure that the fertilizer is able to reach the deepest tree roots. This feeds trees from the root up, providing far more nutrient absorption than traditional methods of fertilization.
Deep root fertilization is an important step in tree care, especially when trees and shrubs are planted outside of their natural habitat. Trees grown on private and commercial properties do not have the same soil conditions that you’d find in the wild. Because of this, trees often need supplemental nutrition in order to be at their healthiest.
While surface fertilization might be beneficial for grass and smaller landscape plants, trees that have deep-reaching roots can’t be effectively fertilized from the surface. This makes fertilizing them harder because you are unable to reach the entire root system of the tree, where it needs nutrients the most.
Identifying Signs Your Trees Need Fertilization
There are certain signs that indicate that your trees are especially in need of deep root fertilization treatment. If you wait too long, your trees could become malnourished or even die without supplemental nutrition.
Here are some key signs that your trees need to be fertilized:
- Reduced foliage and floral output
- Leaves that are smaller than normal
- Yellowing or light green leaves
- Dead spots on leaves
- Thinning or dying tips of branches
- Little to no annual growth
If you notice that the trees on your lawn are displaying these signs, then it’s crucial to start a tree fertilization schedule. By feeding nutrients directly at the root, deep root fertilization will help restore your trees and keep them healthy for years to come.
Common Tree Care Mistakes to Avoid in Santa Clarita
Caring for trees in Santa Clarita’s unique climate requires local expertise. Avoid these common mistakes to ensure your trees thrive:
- Overwatering or Underwatering: In Santa Clarita's semi-arid environment, trees need balanced watering to avoid root rot or dehydration. Use drought-tolerant methods to conserve water while keeping roots hydrated.
- Improper Pruning: Timing and technique are critical. Over-pruning or pruning during the wrong season can leave trees vulnerable to sunscald or stress.
- Ignoring Pests or Diseases: Santa Clarita’s warm climate can attract pests like bark beetles. Regular inspections help detect and address infestations early.
- Planting Too Deep or Too Shallow: Proper depth is essential. Planting too deep may suffocate roots, while too shallow exposes them to the region’s harsh sun.
By avoiding these pitfalls, you’ll encourage healthier, more resilient trees suited to Santa Clarita’s environment.
