Fertilization


Our blends of nutrients and soil amendments are not simply designed to promote canopy growth but to strengthen and improve the overall health of the tree from the roots up, delivering healthier, greener, more aesthetically-pleasing trees and shrubs. Our uniquely developed mixtures promote stability and growth for trees efficiently and safely, without the worry of harmful chemicals that some companies use and can be damaging to the surrounding environment.

Our unique mixtures combine macro- and micro-nutrients, root growth stimulators, soil conditioners, beneficial biotics (both mycorrhizal fungi and rhizobacteria), and organic materials to cultivate the optimum natural growth environment.

Fertilization, Soil Application, and Deep Root Injection Services

Any tree located in either a residential or commercial landscape will benefit from fertilization. In other words, if your tree is not currently located inside of a forest, it will need help sourcing the nutrition necessary to thrive.

Fertilization services are critical for trees that:
  • Have been affected by harsh environmental conditions such as heat and drought
  • Are struggling to produce growth or recover from insects or disease
  • Have been stunted by limited root space (i.e., parking lots, sidewalks, fencing)
  • Have been affected or damaged by construction-related activities in the area
Fertilization services include:
  • Soil conditioners that help break down heavily compacted soil
  • Root stimulators delivered to promote more effective root systems
  • A complete combination of balanced macro- and micro-nutrients – quantities are adjusted seasonally.
  • Mycorrhizal fungi are naturally growing additions to the soil that form a symbiotic relationship with the tree’s existing natural root system to speed nutrient absorption, enhance the existing root system, and allow the tree to be more competitive
  • Rhizosphere bacteria are beneficial bacteria that break down organic matter and promote nutrient absorption and tree immunity systems
  • Nutrient application delivered 6-12 inches beneath the turf throughout the drip line to ensure balanced absorption and reduced turf competition

The Role of Older Trees in Urban Landscapes and Why Their Protection Matters

Trees in urban environments operate under fundamentally different conditions than those in natural forests. Restricted rooting volumes, compacted soils, elevated temperatures, air pollution, and repeated physical disturbance all contribute to reduced vigor and shortened lifespans.…

FAQ

Popular Questions

Mulch is great for covering exposed roots and providing nutrients and insulation for the tree. Do not remove any exposed roots. Doing so will kill your tree.

Not exactly.

Vertical Mulching helps improve drainage and can be an additional tool in mitigating the opportunistic oomycete called Phytophthora. Poor drainage can lead to this water mold infecting many plants that sit in water logged soils.

No treatment will help your tree with Phytophthora if the site isn’t managed and drainage issues have been remedied. Once the site has been addressed and if there is a positive test result from a lab, and if infection has been detected two years in a row, our Tree Health Care technicians administer a fungal management treatment under direction from an ISA Certified Arborist. Depending on the species of the tree or if fungal treatment isn’t an option we recommend starting a Tree Health Care plan with basic or holistic fertilizer to maximize the potential recovery.

Fungal treatments begin in the Spring with three applications, 14-21 days apart.

Correcting soil compaction requires a combination of physical loosening of the soil (aeration), biological improvement (microorganisms), continued protection.

Tree roots require loose, oxygen-rich soil to survive. Through soil aeration, increased microbial activity, and protection, we can help save valuable trees from long term decline due to compaction.

We offer wide range of services including Arborist Services, Tree Removal, Tree Trimming, Tree Health Care, Consulting, Tree Planting, and Stump Grinding, to name a few.

Oak wilt is an infectious disease caused by a fungus (Bretziella fagacearum*). All oaks (genus Quercus) are susceptible to oak wilt, but different species may react differently to the fungus. Oak wilt is a vascular disease, and infects the whole tree, even if only one part is symptomatic. As the fungus spread through the tree, it blocks the transmission of nutrients to the canopy, causing the characteristic “wilt,” or dieback. Learn more about oak wilt prevention here.

Short answer: “yes.” Synthetic grass will eventually kill your tree. To understand why read our blog here.

Unfortunately, most turf grass is not bred to live in harmony with large trees, and trees often find themselves in competition for resources with surrounding grass. In many cases, homeowners have to choose between uniform turf coverage and tree health. To understand why read our blog here.

Tree Health Care

Photos documenting before and after tree health care plans were implemented.

STRESSED LIVE OAK | BEFORE

This live oak is showing signs of stress after construction was completed at the property. Photo of this tree was taken in November 2019 before a Stressed Tree Care Plan was implemented.

STRESSED LIVE OAK | AFTER

This photo was taken in August 2025 after 5 years of being on a Stressed Tree Care Plan.

CHLOROTIC RED OAK | BEFORE

Image of red oak suffering from chlorosis (deficiency in chlorophyll). Photo is from May 2025. Chlorophyll is an essential part of a tree’s nutrient-gathering process, it helps trees produce energy through photosynthesis. When a tree is chlorotic in North Texas it is a sign that there is an iron deficiency.

CHLOROTIC RED OAK | AFTER

This image of the same tree that had chlorosis is from April 2026 post intervention. Verdur injections were given at the root flare to bypass the roots so the iron can go directly into the vascular system to help bring back green pigmentation to the tree for photosynthesis. In addition the tree is on a tree health care plan receiving fertilization to improve overall health. We inject Verdur every 3 years with amazing results, extending the tree’s life significantly.  

Before photo of a stressed magnolia before intervention of a tree health care plan.
STRESSED MAGNOLIA | BEFORE

This magnolia tree is one of many that were in decline on a single property. This photo is from April 15, 2024 prior to the tree receiving a tree health care plan.

After photo of a stressed magnolia with great improvement after a tree health care plan was implemented.
STRESSED MAGNOLIA | AFTER

This after photo was taken June 27, 2024 of a magnolia tree after receiving multiple interventions to improve its health. In addition to a tree health care plan of a deep root fertilization with Biopack plus and Sea3 applied by our TDA licensed technician the owner also fixed the irrigation and cleared the root flare. The difference in health is beautiful.

We were very impressed with their tree trimming crew. They scaled our old, tall oak trees with ropes and removed problem limbs and dead undergrowth without misshaping the tree canopies. More needed removing than we realized until we saw all of the limbs on the ground in our front and back yards. It looked like a mess on the ground but they brought a wood chipper with them and cleaned up every single limb and twig. The yard was so clean afterward, it looked like landscapers had been there! Very professional.
Response from the owner:Thank you for the kind words. We take pride that our team provides tidy, and professional tree services to our customers. Our goal is to always leave our customers property looking naturally beautiful, and like we were never there. Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review. We ❤️🌳 and happy customers!

From start to finish, Texas Tree Surgeons did a great job. The Arborist was knowledgeable, professional, and friendly. She explained the process and gathered our requests. The next day, the army showed up and worked their tails off. They followed the Arborist’s instructions and also took our input. They finished 3 very large trees, including clean-up (you’d never know they were here), including just under 1 hour.
Response from the owner:Thanks for taking the time to share your feedback. Our ISA certified arborists deeply care about doing what's best for trees by taking the time to assess and offering services that benefit the trees health while also protecting personal property. We are so happy that you were completely satisfied with how your trees look. Our goal is to always leave trees looking naturally beautiful and structurally strong. We ❤️🌳 and happy customers!

Super impressed with the professionalism of this group. Very patient with all of my questions because I really love my 75+ year-old trees. Great follow up and they do what they say. They’re going to do. I normally don’t let anyone put a sign in my yard to advertise, but I’m leaving it there for a few days because I hope they get more business this way.. Highly recommend go girl power TOO.

I continue to use this company for my tree trimming and removal. I needed to have a palm tree trimmed. Another company quoted me $1500, while Texas Tree Surgeon came in at a very reasonable $250. Took them about 20 minutes start to finish and they hauled away the dead fronds.
Response from the owner:We take pride in being honest and fair. We believe in giving quality care, and trimming a tree to optimize its health, not optimize the amount we can bill. We ❤️🌳 and happy customers!
