Give Your Trees the Nutrients They Need to Thrive

Custom Fertilization Plans Based on Your Trees' Unique Needs

Trees in urban and suburban environments face unique challenges that can impact their health and longevity. Compacted soil, nutrient deficiencies, and poor soil structure often prevent trees from accessing the essential elements they need to thrive. At ProGreen, we offer comprehensive tree fertilization and soil improvement services designed to give your trees the foundation they need for optimal growth and resilience.

Our ISA Certified Arborists take a scientific approach to soil care, starting with thorough testing to identify specific deficiencies before recommending targeted treatments. You'll get exactly what your trees need - no more, no less.

Our Services to Help Your Trees Stay Healthy & Strong

How We Give Your Trees Exactly What They Need

Before recommending any treatments, we conduct soil tests to measure pH, nutrient levels, organic matter content, and soil structure. This scientific approach allows us to create a customized treatment plan that addresses your trees' specific needs.

Deep Root Fertilization

Delivering Nutrients Where Trees Need Them Most

Using specialized equipment, we inject a custom-blended fertilizer solution directly into the root zone of your trees. This targeted approach ensures nutrients reach the roots where they're needed most.

Surface Fertilizer Applications

Best for Covering Larger Areas

Depending on your trees' needs and site conditions, especially for larger areas or when soil amendments need to be incorporated throughout the root zone, we may use specialized spreading equipment to ensure even coverage.

Vertical Mulching

Special Treatment for Compacted Soil

If your soil is hard and packed down, we create a grid of small holes filled with rich organic material. This gives tree roots the space and nutrients they need to grow properly.

Soil Structure Improvement

Making Sure Your Trees Have Good Soil to Grow In

Poor soil structure can be just as damaging as nutrient deficiencies. Our soil amendment services include:

  • Incorporating organic matter
  • Reducing soil compaction
  • Adjusting soil pH
  • Enhancing beneficial microorganisms

Ongoing Soil Management Programs

Keeping Your Trees Healthy Year After Year

  • Seasonal fertilization treatments

Our Step-by-Step Process for Tree Fertilization

Here's What to Expect When We Feed Your Trees

When you work with ProGreen, you can count on professional service and attention to detail every step of the way. Here's what to expect:

  • 1

    Free Initial Consultation

    One of our tree care ISA Certified Arborists will meet with you at your property to examine your trees and discuss any concerns you have about their health. During this visit, we'll look for signs of nutrient deficiencies and potential soil problems. We'll also answer all your questions about tree care and explain how we can help.

  • 2

    Professional Soil Testing

    Before recommending any treatments, we suggest soil and tissue testing to get a precise understanding of your trees' health. This testing comes at an additional cost, but it helps us understand exactly what your trees need. Good soil is about more than just nutrient levels - we also check soil acidity (pH) and look for structural issues that might keep your trees from absorbing nutrients properly. This scientific approach ensures we create the right treatment plan for your trees.

  • 3

    Custom Treatment Plan

    After analyzing your soil test results, you'll receive a detailed proposal that spells out exactly what your trees need and how we'll help them. We explain everything in plain English, including what results you can expect and when treatments should be done. Our clear pricing means no surprises on your bill.

    Professional Application

    On the day of service, our professional crew will arrive on time in clearly marked trucks. We'll review the treatment plan with you before getting started. Our trained technicians use specialized equipment to apply treatments precisely where needed, ensuring optimal absorption and minimal waste.

    Monitoring & Follow-Up Care

    We don't just treat and leave. We track your trees' response to treatments and adjust our approach as needed to achieve the best possible results. We'll give you care instructions for your trees and let you know what changes to expect. You'll know exactly when to schedule the next treatment and who to contact if you have questions.

  • Why Fertilize?

    Just like your lawn and garden plants, trees need proper nutrition to stay healthy. In urban and suburban environments, trees often struggle to get enough nutrients from the soil. At ProGreen, we replenish vital nutrients to help your trees:

    • Develop stronger root systems
    • Fight off diseases and pests
    • Produce fuller, greener leaves
    • Recover from damage or stress
    • Grow more vigorously

Extremely Knowledgeable

"Preston is extremely knowledgeable. I spoke to several arborists and he was the most responsive and professional. You can tell he is extremely passionate about what he does. We collectively decided my trees didn't need any professional services at this time. He suggested modifying my sprinkler system and recommended a special fertilizer to stimulate root growth. He wouldn't even let me pay him for his time coming out to diagnose. He performed a soil test for me which no other arborist even offered or suggested. This guy is the best in the area!"

When's the Best Time to Feed Your Trees?

Fertilization Timing and Frequency

The best time for tree fertilization depends on your trees' needs and our soil test results. Generally, we recommend:

Early spring treatments to support new growth

Fall treatments to help trees store energy for winter

Summer treatments if trees show signs of stress

Some trees might need treatment once a year, while others do fine with treatments every 2-3 years. We'll create a schedule that works best for your trees.
