How Can We Help With Tree Fertilization Services?

Our service professionals use a vertical mulching process on trees to aerate the soil, partially de-compact the soil, deliver fertilizer, and inoculate the root zone.
Our local tree experts can treat trees with fertilizer and micro-nutrients via trunk injections. Trunk injections effectively correct health problems such as construction injury, micronutrient deficiencies, or chlorosis.
If you think the trees on your property need professional attention, contact The Grounds Guys. Our trusted landscape experts take pride in applying nutrients to trees to promote overall plant health and help your trees thrive.
Through our experience, we know the specific times of the season to fertilize, and if needed, we will conduct a soil test to determine the nutrients your trees require. Our professionals can also apply organic fertilizers if desired.

Why Do Trees Lack Proper Nutrients?

Homeowners often like planting new trees near turf grass in tight places. Problems arise because turf grass typically outcompetes the trees for nutrients. Nutrient deficiency can also occur when homeowners collect leaves, twigs, and fallen bark, disrupting the recycling of essential nutrients.

The crew arrived ready to transform my space, and wow is it beautiful! The guys worked efficiently and carefully, planting the bushes and plants. I would highly recommend David and the crew.

The Grounds Guys do a phenomenal job. They did a major cleanup of my yard, installed new sod, laid stone, shells, and mulch, planted new Areca palms and flowers, rerouted some sprinklers, and created a flagstone path to the backyard, and all of it was down with meticulous care, attention to detail, and skill. The Guys are friendly, professional, and just a delight to deal with. They offered good suggestions for improving the yard and have communicated clearly throughout the process. I can’t recommend them enough.
