Deep Root Fertilization Services Bergen County NJ

As lush days of summer come to a close, winter frost creeps into Bergen County, New Jersey causing deciduous trees to lose their leaves and go into a dormant state. Just because a tree is in a dormant state, that doesn’t mean you can ignore it. Fertilization is crucial to the functionality and growth of all trees. Even with increasingly colder weather, fall is the ideal time to feed and revitalize your trees with the aid of deep root fertilization as root development is increased in the fall.

What is Deep Root Fertilization?

In order to keep your landscape healthy and beautiful, the soil around your trees and shrubs must be healthy too. Deep root fertilization is the most precise way to achieve this goal, setting your lawn, shrubs and trees up for success. The process of deep root fertilization includes injecting organic fertilizer directly into the root of a tree or shrub, using pressure. The deep root fertilization formula includes nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, iron and polyphosphate (which helps to ward off summer diseases), and the pressure improves aeration. Adding this nutrient rich fertilizer directly to roots encourages them to develop quickly because the added nutrients, increased oxygen content, moisture in the soil, and microbial activity create a perfect environment around the roots. Not only will the shrub or tree withstand winter and flourish the next spring, increased root activity translates into growth above ground when the tree awakens in spring.

When is the Best Time to Deep Root Fertilize?

To have your landscape looking top notch by April, one of the best times to deep root fertilize is late fall, before the onset of winter freeze. In nature, fallen leaves decompose into topsoil with necessary nutrients needed for a healthy tree. Unfortunately, in Bergen County and other urban and suburban environments we take pride in a leafless lawn, which in turn prevents leaves from decomposing into nutrient-rich topsoil. By bulking up the soil with nutrients found in deep root fertilization, it creates a nutrient stockpile that will protect the tree and the rest of the landscape in the grueling cooler months to follow. Another great time to fertilize trees is late March and early April when spring thaw begins awakening trees that have been dormant over the winter.

Benefits of Deep Root Fertilization

Healthy tree roots are important for healthy outdoor foliage. The benefits of deep root fertilization include:

• More striking trees and shrubs
• Oxygenation of the soil
• Foliage that is more resistant to disease and pesky insects
• Improved property value with more attractive, stronger trees
