Our deep root fertilizer program can be tailored to suit properties of all sizes and types. Whether you have a small residential garden, a sprawling commercial landscape, or anything in between, we'll work with you to create a package that fits your budget and goals.
Benefits:
1. Targeted Nutrient Delivery: Traditional surface fertilization barely scratches the surface of your plants' needs. With Deep Root Fertilizing, nutrients are delivered directly to the root zone, where they're absorbed most efficiently.
2. Stimulates Healthy Growth: Strong, healthy roots are the foundation of robust plant growth. Our specialized fertilizing formula promotes deep root development, resulting in stronger, more resilient plants that can withstand environmental stresses and thrive in their surroundings.
3. Enhances Flowering and Fruit Production: Whether you're growing ornamental flowers or fruit-bearing trees, Deep Root Fertilizing can help maximize flowering and fruit production. By providing essential nutrients at the root level, our fertilizing solution encourages prolific blooms and bountiful harvests season after season.
4. Improves Soil Structure: Healthy soil is essential for plant growth, and Deep Root Fertilizing helps improve soil structure by promoting microbial activity and enhancing nutrient retention. With healthier soil, your plants will have access to the resources they need to flourish.
5. Environmentally Friendly: Our environmentally conscious fertilizing formula is designed to promote plant health while minimizing environmental impact. Say goodbye to harsh chemicals and hello to a greener, more sustainable approach to gardening.

Pruning
Pruning is a vital component of your trees' long-term health and safety. It can help increase and reinvigorate growth or slow the growth of branches encroaching buildings/driveways.
However, poor pruning practices, such as tree topping, can cause long-term permanent damage to your trees and property value.
Correctly pruning a tree is not only a skill but an art, so allow our experienced arborist team to enhance your green space skillfully.
-
Tree Removal
Trees on your property can either be an asset or a liability.
Services such as pruning, weight reductions, or bolting/cabling may not be enough to reduce the risk of tree failure, and in these cases, the tree must be removed. Often, large tree species are planted in close approximation to houses, powerlines, and driveways, to name a few, and they must be removed for safety as their canopy increases in size.
We understand the value and importance of trees in our city and always recommend replanting an appropriate tree when one is removed.
-
Planting
The importance of correctly planting trees and shrubs is often underestimated. When they are correctly prepared and planted, they can substantially impact the health and longevity of the tree/shrub.
Our Arborist crew will use knowledge of climate conditions, available space, common pests/diseases, and soil conditions to select the perfect tree for your property.
Allow our team to help you plant the RIGHT tree for the RIGHT place, the RIGHT way.
-
Consultations & Inspections
Have you noticed changes in the appearance of your trees, have questions about the health of the trees on your property or planning your dream garden?
Our professional arborist will complete an evaluation of the trees and shrubs on your property and provide recommendations on the level of care needed for each.
Being able to act proactively on your trees/shrubs will drastically reduce the stress placed on them and can even save you money and a headache in the long run!
Other Services
TREE AND SHRUB FERTILIZATION
Trees and shrubs in the urban environment often grow in poor quality soil and site conditions. This can lower their natural ability to fight off pests such as insects and diseases.
Our arborist team can provide you with a soil analysis and customized plan for your fertilization and watering requirements to ensure your trees and shrubs are full of vitality.
Are you worried about the right and wrong time to fertilize? Don’t stress; we use a slow-release fertilizer that can be used at any time to replace deficient nutrients in the soil slowly.
EMERGENCY STORM SERVICES
Storm events can have unfortunate consequences on trees, splits to the main trunk, leaning and uprooted trees, and cracked and hung up branches. These hazardous trees can immediately threaten the safety of your property and surroundings and require immediate professional attention. Our Arborist crew is here for you 24/7.
STUMP Removal
After a tree is removed, you are left with a stump and an unsuitable area for replanting or development. Although it will naturally decompose over several years, our stump grinding service will speed up the process for you.
Let our crew take the hassle away and grind down your stump to 6-8 inches below the surface. This ensures we reach any large roots that may affect your future plans with the area.
bOLTING / cABLING
Through bolts and steel cable can be installed to help reinforce damaged limbs reducing the probability of failure.
This gives the compromised tree some added stability and strength in times of severe weather events. Once installed, the cabling will need an inspection by our arborists every 2 YEARS to ensure they are not degrading due to weather/damage.
