Deep Root Fertilization in Mills, 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 spells are hard on Mills trees, and the damage is quiet. A tree that runs short of reserves leafs out thin, grows slowly and recovers poorly from wind or a pruning cut, and extreme cold then hits it while it is already weak. Deep root fertilization puts organic fertilizer into the root zone where the feeder roots actually grow, instead of letting lawn grass take most of it.

An ISA Certified Arborist inspects the tree and the soil first, looks at the leaves and canopy, and tells you whether feeding will help now or can wait. For lots near the North Platte River and the west edge of Casper, we also talk through watering and mulching, because fertilizer cannot replace moisture. Young trees still putting down roots and older trees that look tired are common candidates.

Some customers book deep root fertilization twice a year, and we recommend a schedule only after we see your trees. It supports a healthy tree, though it does not cure disease on its own. Ask for a free estimate at (307) 337-8474 and we will come take a look.

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 Mills, 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.

It can build up reserves so the tree handles stress better, but it does not replace water. The arborist will advise on feeding, watering and mulching together.

Timing varies with species, vigor and soil type. A few customers book feedings twice yearly, and we set the plan only once we have inspected your trees.
