Deep Root Fertilization in Douglas, 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.

Dry stretches are hard on Douglas trees, and a tree that runs low on stored energy struggles with everything that comes next. Along the North Platte River the ground can look green, but a yard set back from the water may tell a different story. Our ISA Certified Arborists start by inspecting the leaves, canopy and soil to see whether a tree is short on nutrients or stressed by something else.

When feeding makes sense, we place organic fertilizer in the root zone, below the surface where feeder roots actually grow, rather than letting it sit on the lawn. A tree with good reserves leafs out stronger in spring and recovers faster from wind damage, hail wounds and heavy wet snow. We also give you watering and mulching advice for your trees and soil.

Some customers book deep root fertilization twice a year, and your arborist will recommend a schedule after the inspection. If a tree does not need feeding yet, we tell you so. To put your Douglas, WY trees on a feeding plan, call (307) 337-8474 or schedule a free estimate online.

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.
