Deep Root Fertilization in Casper, WY

We feed trees at the root zone with organic fertilizer so they can handle drought, cold and wind. An ISA Certified Arborist inspects the tree first and tells you whether it needs feeding now.

At about 5,100 feet, Casper, Wyoming asks a lot of its trees. Dry stretches pull moisture from the soil, extreme cold stresses young and newly planted trees, and wind keeps pulling energy through every season. Deep root fertilization is one way to give a tree stronger reserves. Our ISA Certified Arborists inspect the leaves, canopy and soil first, then tell you whether the tree needs feeding now or can wait.

When it does, we place organic fertilizer in the root zone where feeder roots actually grow, rather than on top of the lawn where grass takes most of it. This matters in newer east-side subdivisions, where young landscape trees are still establishing and benefit from steady feeding while they get their roots down. It also helps trees along the North Platte River corridor and older yards with big spruce and cottonwood that have been through many dry summers and cold winters.

A tree with good reserves leafs out better in spring and bounces back from stress faster. We also give you advice on watering and mulching, since feeding works best alongside good moisture. Some customers book deep root fertilization twice a year, and we will recommend a schedule for your trees. To find out what yours need, call (307) 337-8474 or ask for a free estimate online.

Casper, WY conditions

Local Conditions in Casper That Shape Deep Root Fertilization

These are the local conditions our arborists keep in mind when planning deep root fertilization in Casper.

  • Drought stress

    Dry stretches at high elevation leave trees thirsty, which weakens them and makes them easier targets for pests and disease.

    Deep Root Fertilization is one way to deal with this in Casper.

  • Extreme cold

    Extreme cold stresses young and newly planted trees, and a tree already weakened by drought has less to fight it with.

    Deep Root Fertilization is one way to deal with this in Casper.

  • Strong winds

    Open country and the slope of Casper Mountain let strong, sustained winds sweep across town, loading tree crowns and testing weak limb attachments and shallow roots.

    Mention this when you book and we will keep it in mind during your deep root fertilization estimate.

  • Heavy wet snow

    Heavy, wet spring snow clings to leaves and branches and snaps limbs, often over roofs, cars and power lines.

    Mention this when you book and we will keep it in mind during your deep root fertilization estimate.

  • Tree diseases

    Aspen rust, pine blight and leaf discoloration show up in Casper yards, and catching them early gives trees the best chance.

Choosing Deep Root Fertilization

Deep Root Feeding Versus Lawn Fertilizer

Nutrients are placed in the zone where a tree's feeder roots actually grow, and the fertilizer is chosen for trees.

Most of it is taken up by grass roots near the surface, so the tree gets only a small share.

Organic fertilizer feeds the soil as well as the tree and fits with our green treatment approach.

Deep Root Fertilization in Casper, WY: 5 Common Questions

Watering supplies moisture. Deep root fertilization adds nutrients at the root zone. Trees often need both, and our arborist can tell you which matters more right now.

It depends on the tree, its health and the soil. Some customers book deep root fertilization twice a year. The arborist will recommend a schedule after inspecting your trees.

Young trees, older trees, trees in lawns with little natural soil building and trees showing thin leaves or slow growth often benefit most. A healthy tree may not need it yet, and we will say so.

A tree with good reserves handles extreme cold better, especially a young or newly planted one. Feeding supports that, but it works best alongside proper watering. The arborist will tell you what your tree needs.

Often it helps, since young landscape trees are still building roots. We inspect first and recommend feeding only if the tree will benefit. Ask about a schedule at the visit.
