Deep Root Fertilizations

Construction activities when homes are built lead to soil that is heavily compacted poorly aerated and poorly drained - not the best conditions for tree and shrub growth. In their natural forest habitat, trees and shrubs have a constant supply of nutrients from decomposing layers of leaves and other organic matter on the forest floor. But in our lawns and landscapes, we regularly rake away leaves and other organic matter before it has a chance to decompose.

Without fertilization, your trees and shrubs won't be able to reach their true potential. And over time, they may begin to show signs of nutrient deficiency, including:
• Poor leaf color
• Reduced leaf size
• Premature fall coloration and leaf drop
• Reduced twig and branch growth
• An overall reduction in tree growth and vigor

Our natural based deep root feeding helps create the soil conditions that allow roots to branch out and grow in size, making it easier for your trees and shrubs to survive drought and other stresses. A healthy soil ensures that your trees and shrubs have the essential nutrients they need for healthy growth. When they are fed regularly, your trees and shrubs will exhibit deeper color, denser growth and better blooming. Plus, they will have an improved ability to fight off insects and disease. We can use soil analysis, and even leaf analysis before a program so that we can apply just the right mix of natural organic materials, natural bio-stimulants and nutrients for your plants.
There is more to fertilization than simply applying nutrients. Believe it or not, fungus can be good for your plants! Millions of years ago, plants established a symbiotic relationship with soil organisms called mycorrhizal fungi. The fungi serve as a secondary root system, extending them far out into the soil to extract water and mineral elements for their host plants. In return, the plant supplies the fungi sugars on which to live. In nature, certain species of beneficial bacteria promote healthy plant growth and soil fertility. These “good” bacteria are called rhizobacteria and displace harmful soil life that may be present. While common in natural settings, their populations are often very low in urban and residential landscapes, nursery potting soils and other man-made landscapes.

Plants with thriving mycorrhizal root systems are better able to survive and grow in stressful environments because the mycorrhizae are able to absorb, accumulate and transfer water and mineral elements to plants more effectively than roots without mycorrhizae.

In forest soils, mycorrhizal fungi are abundant. However, most of today's landscape environments have been created as part of construction projects that disturb or remove the topsoil where plant roots and these beneficial fungi live. As a result, the ground has no natural topsoil and is virtually devoid of mycorrhizal fungi, making it much harder for these plants to thrive.

Methods have been developed to grow mycorrhizal fungi spores in commercial quantities, and formulate them into products for landscape planting and maintenance projects. Now mycorrhizal fungi can be restored to lifeless soils so that beautiful landscapes can be established naturally.

Adding natural based products containing both mycorrhizal fungi and beneficial bacteria as part of a regular plant health maintenance program will improve your soil fertility and improve your plant’s health. By having your trees and shrubs fertilized regularly, you'll be rewarded with healthier, more beautiful trees and shrubs that you can enjoy for many years to come.
