Trees & Shrubs

Fertilization

We offer a balanced ornamental fertilizer including Nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium and other essential plant nutrients that are applied in granular form onto the root zone soil around each plant. The benefits of well-fertilized ornamentals include improved growth, color and flowering. Healthier, stronger plants are also better able to withstand attacks from damaging insect or disease pests and adverse weather conditions such as summer drought and winter cold.

Pruning

The goal of proper fertilization is to promote stronger healthier plants that will thrive and survive any adverse weather conditions or minor insect or disease problems. Fertilization over time will promote growth in plant size, which is desirable for most plants in a proper location. Some plants, however, must have their size and shape controlled to maintain a natural, but conforming appearance. Examples would be in front of the house so plants don’t block windows, or in shrub beds that may get too crowded.

Mulch

Adding mulch to shrub beds has benefits beyond improving their appearance. Along with reducing the weed population, a proper depth of mulch cover shades the soil to help it maintain its moisture longer. This can greatly help the plants get through drought periods. It is important that mulch not be too deep. 2-3” is best, if it gets too deep, it ends up soaking up all the rain preventing it from getting to the soil where its needed.
