Trees grow in competition with shrubs and bushes for water and soil nutrients, which may already be inhibited by the location of nearby buildings, sidewalks, and driveways. Proper landscape fertilization for yards in Pennington, New Jersey, is the most common treatment to combat this competition by replenishing insufficient soil elements.
Trees have expansive root systems that can extend past its drip line and into lawns. It is important to understand that fertilizers applied to lawns may cause detrimental effects to trees because of the difference in nutrients required.
Why Fertilize?
Landscape fertilization strengthens weak trees susceptible to insect infestation and fungus disease. It invigorates old, mature trees and encourages growth in newly planted and young trees. Fertilizer applications develop stronger, deeper root systems and helps to repair damaged roots from excavation.
Many homeowners do not realize their trees may be struggling with nutrient deficiencies until visible symptoms begin to appear. Those symptoms may not be visible right away, but can be spotted easily with a trained professional in your corner.
Be on the lookout for:
- Sparse foliage
- Smaller-than-normal leaves
- Reduced annual growth
- Thinning canopies
- Premature leaf drop
Trees experiencing these issues often become more vulnerable to environmental stressors, making professional fertilization from HTS Tree Care Professionals an important part of long-term tree care.
In urban and suburban landscapes, trees frequently face conditions that limit their access to the nutrients they need. Soil compaction caused by foot traffic, construction projects, and nearby hardscapes can restrict root growth and reduce the movement of water and oxygen through the soil. Over time, essential nutrients are depleted, leaving trees unable to perform at their best.
Professional landscape fertilization helps restore these nutrients and creates a healthier growing environment for trees and shrubs. A customized fertilization program can improve foliage density, enhance leaf color, increase drought tolerance, and support a tree's natural defenses against pests and diseases. For ornamental and flowering trees, proper fertilization can also encourage more vibrant blooms and overall vigor.
By investing in routine fertilization from HTS Tree Care Professionals, homeowners can promote healthier root systems, stronger branch structure, and sustained growth that enhances the beauty, safety, and value of their landscapes for years to come.
So, how do we do it? It’s simple:
Deep Root Injection
HTS Tree Care and our fertilizing contractors use a method of deep root injection, which applies liquid fertilizer underground where it will ensure the greatest growth response.
Vertical Mulching
Another method of fertilizer application is done through a process of vertical mulching, where small holes are made from the trunk of a tree to its drip line. Fertilizer is then added to the holes and backfilled with compost, woodchips, and loose topsoil. Not only does this method administer a slow release fertilizer to the root zone, but it also aerates the soil and promotes increased root development.
