Deep Root Fertilization

Two treatments annually, in spring and late fall. These two treatments provide trees and shrubs with the proper balance of nutrients needed to sustain health and proper growth. Deep root fertilizing is a process where a spike is inserted into the root system and fertilizer is injected into the soil. This process ensures a greater spread of nutrients spread throughout the root system and all landscape material.

Insect & Disease Control for Trees

At Back To Nature, we know firsthand that insects and disease can quickly wreak havoc on even the hardiest trees and shrubs. We’ll carefully evaluate your plantings to create a treatment schedule (up to 3 applications per growing season) that targets pests and sickness as well as helps prevent future infestations and outbreaks.

Frequently Asked Questions

Proper watering is essential for tree and shrub health. Generally, it’s recommended to water deeply and infrequently, allowing the soil to dry out between watering sessions. Factors such as soil type, weather conditions, and the specific needs of the tree or shrub species should be considered.
Pruning is crucial for maintaining the shape, health, and size of trees and shrubs. The ideal time to prune varies among species, but as a general rule, late winter or early spring, before the active growing season, is often recommended. Avoid pruning during periods of rapid growth.
Regular monitoring for signs of pests or diseases is important. Implementing preventive measures such as proper watering, mulching, and ensuring good air circulation around plants can help. If issues arise, consider using environmentally friendly pesticides or seeking advice from a professional arborist.
The fertilizer needs of trees and shrubs can vary. A balanced, slow-release fertilizer with essential nutrients is often suitable. It’s essential to consider factors like soil composition and the specific requirements of the plants. Applying fertilizer in the early spring or late fall is generally recommended.
Selecting the right tree or shrub involves considering factors such as climate, soil type, available space, and intended purpose (shade, ornamental, privacy). Research the growth habits, size at maturity, and care requirements of different species to make an informed decision. Consulting with local gardening experts can also provide valuable insights.
