At Real Green Services, we provide expert deep root fertilization services in Austin, TX, designed to improve tree health, address compacted soils, and promote long-term vitality. Trees face many challenges in urban settings, and our deep root fertilization program ensures they receive the necessary nutrients to thrive.

What is Deep Root Fertilization?

Deep root fertilization involves injecting water and nutrient-rich solutions deep into the soil (8-10 inches), targeting the tree’s feeder roots. This method allows essential nutrients to bypass surface-level obstacles like turf grass and reach the parts of the tree most responsible for nutrient uptake.

How Deep Root Fertilization Differs from Traditional Methods

Traditional surface fertilization often leads to nutrients being absorbed by grass or washing away before reaching the tree roots. In contrast, deep root fertilization ensures that the nutrients are delivered precisely where trees need them the most—at the feeder roots.

Benefits of Deep Root Fertilization

1. Maximized Nutrient Uptake: Direct injection to feeder roots increases nutrient absorption.
2. Reduced Soil Compaction: High-pressure injections loosen compacted soils, improving aeration.
3. Better Resistance to Pests and Diseases: Healthier trees are naturally more resistant to infestations and diseases.
4. Improved Aeration: Enhanced soil aeration promotes stronger root systems.
5. Extended Tree Longevity: Well-nourished trees grow stronger and live longer, boosting property value.

When to Schedule Deep Root Fertilization

In Austin’s climate, we recommend deep root fertilization twice a year, typically in spring and fall. These seasons align with peak nutrient absorption times, supporting tree health year-round.
