A rainy day in Houston won’t stop us!!! Andre and Brent are busy at work preparing for a Root invigoration treatment on struggling Sweetgum trees at Discovery Green in downtown Houston. Root invigoration is the process of expanding mulch rings and integrating organic matter into the soil to improve soil health and tree rooting.

Don't call it dirt! It's SOIL. 💚 Soil is one of the most important natural resources that contribute to the health and growth of trees. The type of soil a tree grows in has a profound effect on its ability to establish roots, absorb nutrients and water, and resist diseases. Unfortunately for landscape trees, soil often lacks the critical nutrients traditionally provided to trees by decomposing forest material🍂, but we can make that better through customized soil care & fertilization programs.

Fertilization is the single most important proactive measure you can take in caring for trees this season. Our Arborist Representatives can customize the needs of your trees to address nutrient deficiencies based on soil analysis. Recommendations can also be made to improve soil content and character including the addition of compost and biochar or soil amendments to adjust pH level. Fall is prime time to give your trees a little soil TLC! 🌿🍁https://www.bartlett.com/dynamic/pdf/technical-reports/Boost-Fertilization.pdf
