Fertilization

Fertilization in Franklin, IN

If the soil on your property isn't fertile, you'll have a hard time getting your trees to thrive. Fortunately, there's a simple solution to nutrient-deficient soil:fertilization.

Fertilizing is a bit more complicated than just dumping a bag of all-purpose fertilizer over the base of your trees, however. Different tree species have different dietary needs, and depending on your soil type, you may need more of one nutrient than others.

Allow our experienced arborists to come up with a fertilization formula tailored to your trees' unique needs. Contact us for service in Franklin, IN, and the surrounding areas.

Signs Your Trees Need to Be Fertilized

Most trees benefit from fertilization in the spring or fall. You can tell if your trees are starving from lack of nutrients by looking out for signs of stress. A stressed tree will exhibit the following symptoms:

  • Increasingly smaller leaves each year
  • Yellowing leaves
  • Unusually slow growth
  • Premature loss of leaves

Our arborists can work with you to develop a fertilization schedule that will help your trees thrive.

Benefits of Deep Root Fertilization

In some cases, your trees may need a little extra help in the form of deep root fertilization. This type of fertilization differs from the traditional method in a couple of important ways. First, instead of pouring the fertilization over the surface of the soil, we inject it below the soil near the roots. Second, the process of deep root fertilization helps to de-compact the soil.

Soil decompression is especially important in Franklin, IN, where clay soil is common. Clay soil has a tendency to get packed down, making drainage difficult and reducing oxygen levels. With deep root fertilization, we can loosen up the soil so your trees' roots can get enough oxygen.
